About this worksheet
Suits Years 3 to 6Triangles to name, under both naming systems: by sides (equilateral, isosceles, scalene) and by angles (right, acute, obtuse).
The insight worth voicing: every triangle owns one name from EACH system, so a right isosceles triangle is a perfectly legal citizen. Two questions per triangle, always.

Common questions
What do the side names mean?
Equilateral: all three sides equal. Isosceles: two equal. Scalene: all different. Tick marks on the drawings mark the equal sides, so the answer is read, not guessed.
Can a triangle have two right angles?
Never: two 90s spend the whole 180 degree budget before the third angle gets a cent. Asking a child WHY not is a lovely stretch question.
