Imagine a
Triangle
How many sides has it? Are they
all the same length? If not, make them all the same length.
What can you say about the
corners/angles? Which way up is it? Turn it upside
down. Turn it back again.
Cut a little piece off each corner,
the same off each, in a symmetrical way. What shape have you got
now? What is it called? How many sides has it? How
many corners?
Are the sides all the same
length? Are any of them the same length? Which ones?
Are the corners all the same angle? What angle is it?
Can you adjust your cuts so that the
sides are all the same length?
Go on cutting. What happens
then?
