Shapes made up of Triangles is an activity by KS2 Gems to be used as part of this unit, giving students an opportunity to develop understanding through discussion and group work.

<p>Exploring the world of geometry, specifically focusing on shapes composed of triangles, offers a fascinating educational journey for KS2 students. This area of study delves into how various geometric forms can be constructed by combining one of the most fundamental shapes: the triangle. By examining and creating shapes made up of triangles, students gain a deeper understanding of geometric principles and enhance their spatial reasoning skills.</p>

<p>The concept of constructing complex shapes from triangles is a key topic in the KS2 curriculum, providing a solid foundation for more advanced mathematical concepts. Through hands-on activities and visual aids, learners can explore how triangles can be arranged to form a multitude of different shapes, each with its unique properties and characteristics. This approach not only enriches students' knowledge of geometry but also encourages them to appreciate the simplicity and versatility of triangles in the world of shapes.</p>
