Classifying triangles across the grades

4th grade

Classifying triangles worksheets for fourth grade show one drawn triangle per problem with three names to circle: acute, right, or obtuse. Right angles carry a small square mark, and the deciding question is always how the biggest angle compares to a square corner.

5th grade

Fifth grade alternates the two naming systems: half the problems classify by angles (acute, right, obtuse) and half by sides (equilateral, isosceles, scalene). One triangle can hold a name from each family, like a right isosceles triangle.
