Classifying Triangles (Equilateral, Isosceles, or Scalene)

Get ready to put your fifth grade students' geometry skills to the test with this interactive math lesson from iKnowIt.com! In this online geometry game, students will practice classifying triangles as equilateral, isosceles, or scalene. Here are the learning outcomes you can expect from your students upon completion of this digital math game:

• Identify the triangle shown as equilateral, isosceles, or scalene based on the given lengths of its sides.
• Choose the triangle that matches the description: equilateral, isosceles, or scalene, based on the given lengths of its sides.
• Classify the triangle as equilateral, isosceles, or scalene based on the written lengths of its sides.

Questions in this classifying triangles activity are presented in drag-and-drop format and multiple-choice format. If students need a little extra help classifying a triangle in one of the math questions, they can click on the "Hint" button. They will be shown a detailed pictorial or written clue that will remind them of the properties of triangles without giving away the answer. When students answer a question incorrectly, a detailed explanation page will show them the correct answer accompanied by an easy-to-understand explanation, giving them the opportunity to learn from prior mistakes and improve accuracy throughout their math practice session.

Several built-in features help your students make the most out of their online geometry practice session. For example, a progress-tracker in the upper-right corner of the practice screen shows students how many questions they have answered so far out of the total number of questions in the lesson. Beneath that, a score-tracker lets students see how many points they have earned for correct answers. Opposite, a speaker icon, indicating the read-aloud feature, can be clicked by students if they want to hear the question read aloud to them in a clear voice. This is an excellent resource for ESL/ELL students and children who excel with auditory learning. Each of these tools was designed by the I Know It team to help your students achieve math practice success!
