Sorting Triangles

The document provides tasks for sorting different types of triangles based on their properties, such as equilateral, isosceles, scalene, and right-angled triangles. Each task prompts the reader to describe the characteristics that differentiate these triangles from non-triangles or other triangle types. It encourages critical thinking and understanding of geometric concepts.
