Materials:<\/h2>\n

Paper, pencil, (ruler, scissors, crayons or pencil crayons if you are making paper sticks) or you can use the virtual versions found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How many triangles can you make using \u201csticks\u201d that are 3cm, 4cm and 5cm long?<\/p>\n

You can make \u201cpaper sticks\u201d or use these virtual sticks<\/a> to build the triangles.
\nA triangle can only have one stick per side.
\nA triangle can use more than one stick of the same length.
\nKeep track of the triangles you have made by recording the side lengths. (e.g., 3,3,3, 3,4,4 etc.)<\/p>\n

Making Paper Sticks<\/h2>\n

You will need \u201cpaper sticks\u201d that are 3cm, 4cm and 5cm long.
\nEach measurement should have its own colour (e.g., 3cm red, 4cm green, 5cm blue). You will need to make approximately 12 of each \u201cstick\u201d.
\nYour child could practise measurement skills by making their own sticks or you could cut templates out of paper or thin cardboard and have your child trace them on paper, colour them and cut them out.<\/p>\n
