Create the Triangles Project

  1. Remove the cap from the dry-erase marker. Six points will be drawn to outline two triangles. Each triangle will be outlined with three points. Draw these six points on the whiteboard using the dry-erase marker. The exact location of the points may vary, but should be far enough apart to view lines between them.
