Classification
You can practice your knowledge in a triangle game that requires you to identify the type of triangle. "Baseball Geometry" is a game on the website Fact Monster and the objective of the game is to classify the various triangles. You need to answer questions correctly to receive a chance to hit the baseball from the pitcher. When you answer the question correctly on the first try, you receive three baseballs. When you answer the question on your second try, you receive two baseballs. If you answer the question on your third try you receive one baseball.
An interactive game that involves triangles is the "Shape" game. The objective is to review the shapes passing by and drag each shape to its correct group. For example, the groups include triangles, isosceles, no equal sides and equilateral. This game also incorporates other shapes beside triangles, such as octagons and squares.
Areas of Triangles
Fact Monster offers another triangle game where you need to determine the area of the triangle. You use the formula "Area = 1/2 (base x height)" to determine the correct answer. For example, if the height is 2 feet and the base is 9 feet, then the area of the triangle is 9 feet. You win three hits for answering the question on the first try, two hits for answering the question on the second try and one hit for answering the question on the third try.
The website AAA Math offers a triangle game that requires you to calculate the area of a triangle. However, it gives you a variation of the area formula where you must multiply the base by 1/2 of the height. For example, if a base of a triangle is 6 inches and the height is 4 inches, then the area is "6 x 2=12." The game will give you numerous measurements to plug into the formula.
Triangle Game Quizzes
Triangle games are available in a quiz game format. AAA Math offers the "Countdown" game, where you have 60 seconds to select the correct answer to various questions. You receive at least three different angle measurements and need to select whether the angle measurements are a right angle, an acute angle or an obtuse angle. Another game on AAA Math is "20 Questions," which tests to see how many right answers you can answer about triangles.
Addition
The "Math Triangle" game on the website Game Math requires you to organize numbers so each side of a triangle equals the same amount. The game provides the number that each side must equal.
