Max Maths, Year 5, Work Book, Triangles review

In the 'Triangles review' section of the Max Maths Year 5 Workbook, students are tasked with a series of exercises designed to deepen their understanding of different types of triangles. Practice 3 begins with an activity where students must observe various triangles and fill in the missing information. For example, they might be presented with a shape labelled LMN and asked to identify the type of triangle it is, note the lengths of the sides if they are equal, and provide the measurements of the angles at each vertex.

The second exercise requires students to categorise a list of triangles as right-angled (denoted by 'R'), isosceles ('I'), or equilateral ('E'). This activity helps students to recognise and differentiate between the characteristic properties of each triangle type. Following this, the workbook provides grid paper for students to draw their own right-angled and isosceles triangles, reinforcing their practical understanding of the shapes. Lastly, in a creative task, students are encouraged to draw three equilateral triangles of varying sizes within a dotted area, allowing them to explore the concept of equilateral triangles with hands-on practice.
