Nawaf from Pimlico Primary said:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are triangles. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 are not triangles
A triangle has 3 edges and 3 vertices.
For the ones that are not triangles:
One is curved and does not have straight lines
One has a gap in it.
One is not a triangle because it has 4 edges.
The last one is not a triangle because the vertices are not pointy.
Thank you for these solutions. You may be able to find other ways of separating squares from triangles.
