Description
Test your understanding of how to use the formula for calculating the area of triangles. Find the area of nine different triangles on a grid. First, predict the area of a chosen triangle on a grid. Find the base and height measurements of the triangle using an animation. Then, substitute the base and height measurements into the formula for calculating the area. Practise applying the formula directly to a range of triangles. Compare the actual area of the triangle with your original estimate and check your answers by viewing your results on a printable report.
Objective
Students predict the area of triangles.
