Of All the Areas

Comments (0)

This NRICH mathematical problem is about the areas of equilateral triangles.

Students will need to measure the area different triangles but in triangles rather than squares. They will need to look for any emerging patterns which might lead to non-linear sequences that need explanation. They will need to use their visualising skills to help them to create equilateral triangles and find their areas.
