Triangle Tricks
by Heather Tekavec


Cut five identical triangles and manipulate them on a flannelboard as you read the following poem.

One little triangle, sitting very still,
A tiny ant marching by might think that it’s a hill.

Two small triangles make a pretty sight,
Joined together in the sky, they look just like a kite.

Three small triangles, stack them one, two, three,
In the forest you would think that they were one big tree.

Four small triangles, pointing all together,
Make a pinwheel that can spin in windy kind of weather.

Five small triangles, the fanciest by far,
When they all join round and round, they make a flashy

star.
