Super Simple Types of Triangles Worksheets Special Education Classify Triangles

These special education math worksheets are part of a super simple geometry curriculum for special education. It covers characteristics of triangles and classifying triangles with hands-on activities and individual activities, based on state-extended learning standards.

What is Super Simple?

• Super simple indicates that it is intended for students working at a K-1 level and need maximum support.
• Problems are simplified.
• Pictures are used throughout.
• Intended for students in self-contained settings.
• Printable and digital activities for more practice.

This unit addresses:

• Characteristics of all triangles
• Congruence and similarity
• Types of triangles
  • Right triangles
  • Equilateral triangles
  • Isosceles triangles
  • Scalene triangles

Students have many opportunities to engage with repeated information to understand the different types of triangles we see every day in real life.

In addition, many of the activities and assessments include differentiated versions.

Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated in these units. For example, do not be afraid of repetition. It is critical that students with significant disabilities get to experience material over several days to be able to fully assimilate what is being taught. Also, adding visual supports to your printables and class activities helps students be able to pay more attention to the content you are presenting rather than the mechanics of what is expected. Finally, ask questions. Good questions!! Regardless of the material, if we can ask students good questions it will push them to think more deeply than before.
