This week students learned how to classify triangles by their sides and angles. To demonstrate mastery of this concept we used the Pro-Bots to create different types of triangles. By choosing appropriate angle measure turns and distances for the triangle sides, students could create a variety of different triangles.
We brainstormed on these sheets:
Next, students ran their Pro-Bots to create their triangles. They used the actual experience of programming the Pro-Bot to edit their drafts and create true triangles..... and some other designs they liked!
I was so impressed with their ability to understand the concept of additive angles and the relationships between interior and exterior angles. They continue to impress me more and more every week! :)
