Number of activities: 5 adapted activities, including pointing, outlining with yarn, marking, guided writing, and shadow observation.
Target audience:
Students in the early stages of literacy who have difficulties with reading, writing, interpretation, and understanding geometric shapes. Recommended for 1st to 5th grade, Special Education (AEE), remedial instruction, and beginner EJA. Also suitable for students with Intellectual Disabilities (mild to moderate), Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Down Syndrome, Apraxia, and other learning difficulties.
Format:
Color-print PDF with large triangles, visual arrows, color-coded sides (hypotenuse, opposite leg, adjacent leg), real shadow images (tree and building), and wide dotted writing spaces.
Objective:
To help students recognize the right triangle, identify the right angle, distinguish between hypotenuse, opposite leg, and adjacent leg, and connect geometric concepts to real-life situations, such as shadows cast by a tree or a building.
Themes:
Right angle; right triangle; opposite leg; adjacent leg; hypotenuse; geometric shapes in daily life.
Methodology:
Activity 1 (p.1): Identify the right angle using glue and yarn to strengthen tactile perception.
Activity 2 (p.2): Trace and cover the name of the longest side of the triangle (hypotenuse).
Activity 3 (p.2): Mark the right triangle among multiple options.
Activity 4 (p.3): Write the names of the sides using dotted lines for guided writing.
Activity 5 (p.3): Relate real shadows from a tree and a building to triangle shapes.
✅ Strong visual support with colors, arrows, and real images.
✅ Tactile activities (glue + yarn) that improve fine motor coordination.
✅ Extremely simple and structured language for early literacy students.
✅ Real-life context (tree and building shadows) to reinforce understanding.
✅ Saves 3h50min of teacher preparation time.
