The unique thing about this game is that students get to CHOOSE whether to mark off the classification by sides or by angles on each card, so they can use strategy for what is most beneficial to mark off on their card to try to win, and they get extra practice at the same time. They will be motivated to figure out both, increasing their familiarity with triangle classification.This game is great practice for classifying different types of triangles in middle school geometry. Students play in small groups and take turns. After drawing a card that shows either a diagram of a triangle or a set of written measurements for a triangle, the student has a choice whether to cross off the term for classifying the triangle by angles OR classify it by sides on the grid-style game board sheet. Four spaces marked off in a row results in a win! Students can use strategy with their choices, but must state the classification aloud for other players to verify. ________________________________________________________ Reviews from other teachers: - I used this game as a group activity and we played the game on the board. This was a great practice activity and the kids loved competing against one another. - My students really enjoy your activities! Thanks for making such thoughtful products for students :) - Thank you! This really reinforced the different attributes of a triangle. My class especially enjoyed the strategic aspect of this game. - Super cute activity! My students really enjoyed it and it was a great addition to our unit. - Great resource! This was a perfect supplement for our geometry unit. Thank you! - Thank you. Great hands on activity. - This was a good way for students to practice sorting types of triangles. - I laminated the boards and students loved the game, it got very competitive in my class. - As usual another amazing resource for my students! - This was great for my students that needed to practice identifying the different types of triangles! - Engaging station for reviewing triangles! The students loved it! - This was a great addition to our collaborative station! My students loved it. - This game did a good job of helping them to learn how to classify triangles. - Thank you! I appreciate the optional game pieces for easy differentiation. :) - Love it...used for an observation and it worked great! - Kids were completely engaged - probably didn't even realise they were learning!! Thanks!
