Talking about Triangles

Introduction:

Have you ever wished you could go back to Pre-school? Do you miss when you were taught "the fundamentals" such as the alphabet, colors, and shapes? Shapes are one of the first things taught to children, and generally by the age of three$^1$ children can already differentiate between triangles, squares, and circles. But how well do we really understand these shapes? This website unpacks the complexity held within the simplicity of a triangle. Together we will understand:


a) how triangles are constructed
b) various mathematical principles associated to triangles
c) and their real-world applications.
