Classifying Triangles Dry Erase Floor Mat

Teach types of triangles with hands-on activities!

Classifying triangles can be an interactive and energetic activity! Our Classifying Triangles Dry Erase Floor Mat is the perfect tool to teach young mathematicians all about the different types of triangles. Practice classifying triangles by their angles and sides with movement-based activities. Best of all, dry erase means students can practice drawing triangles time and time again!

This hop mat features six different types of triangles including obtuse, acute, right, scalene, isosceles, and equilateral. Measuring 54 inches wide by 44 inches long, this colorful mat has plenty of space for multiple students to hop on. This mat will encourage active learning and collaborative play as students master triangle classification.

Students will be able to classify triangles by their sides and angles as a result of practice on this mat. They will also learn how to read the shape names, which promotes their letter and word recognition skills. Watch their reading and math skills improve!

Furthermore, this mat allows students to visualize the properties of a triangle. Angles are labeled to differentiate between acute, obtuse, and right triangles. Sides that are equal are also labeled on the mat to make isosceles, equilateral, and scalene triangles clear and recognizable.

Additionally, this mat has space for students to create the triangle shapes themselves. Practice drawing triangles based on their side lengths and angle sizes. Challenge students to identify their peer’s triangle drawings. With the dry-erase laminate, sketching every type of triangle is an easy activity to repeat!
