    To make this work, print the first page 3x on blue cardstock. Laminate and cut out
    triangles. You should have 12 of them.

    Print the other pages on white cardstock, laminate, and cut out cards. Cards can be
    made into a booklet by punching a hole in the corner of the cards and tying them to-
    gether with a ribbon or using a booklet ring (found at office supply stores).

    The triangles in this exercise have the angles: 30º, 60º, and 90º.

    Ask the children to join you, and then show the children the triangles. If they don’t
    point it out, mention that they are all right-angle scalene triangles. Flip one triangle
    over and show how you can form an equilateral triangle with two of them back-to-back.

    Point out the three different-sized angles. Note that the biggest angle is a right angle,
    and the other two are both acute angles.

    Show them the command cards and give them help (if needed) in completing the com-
    mands. The command cards are numbered and should be completed in the correct order.

    After completing the command cards, the kids might want to use the triangles and trace
    them on a large piece of paper to re-create the different designs.

    Construct a 12-pointed star


    Using a measuring angle or by putting all of the smallest
    protractor, measure each angles together:
    angle of one of the triangles.

    What degree is the largest an-


    gle? What is another name for
    this angle? What are the other
    two angles of the triangle?
