What Do You Get When You Fold a Square into Triangles?

In geometry, we've been learning all about triangles.

There are three types of triangles.

equilateral

(3 equal sides / 3 equal angles)

isosceles 

(2 equal sides / 2 equal angles)

scalene

(NO equal sides / NO equal angles) 

 Watch what happened when we took a square piece of paper and folded it into various triangles!
