Triangles

__Activity One__:
"TriANGLES"

__Materials needed__:
 * construction paper
 * scissors
 * rules
 * protractors (optional)

Have the students create a triangle on a piece of construction paper. Encourage them to make any kind of triangle they'd like. Some will make right triangles, while others might make acute or obtuse triangles. Then have them cut out the angles of their triangle. When they put these angles together (vertices all coming together at a single point), they should notice that it creates a 180 degree angle. They should be encouraged to look at their classmates' triangles and notice that the result was the same no matter what type of triangle the created from the beginning.
