is traditionally how it was done. I was really good at those in school.
Thank you for putting it as a picture, I kept counting 26 and couldn't find out the 27th one. I kept missing triangle 19

Whatever number they wrote down is presumably however many they saw.

It's a completely different question to "How many triangles are there on this page?"

You have to mark every one as correct.

They can physically see 27. Whether or not they could recognize all 27 is the question being posed by TC.

How you know if they're even right with that? What if they only saw 16 triangle but put some random number like 21 because they thought that it was a trick question so they just assumed that there had to be a couple of extra triangles so they put on a random guess in order to be "right"?

The 'correct' answer is completely dependent on whatever logic the participant chooses to apply. I might as well act like a wise guy by saying "well akshully I see like hundreds of triangles in my field of vision, because the question didn't state I should limit the counting of triangles to this paper lol"

But the answer is obviously 21.

Technically they can physically see 28 as stated before. Even more if there happened to be triangle shapes in the classroom >.> because the question didnt specify "on this paper/on this figure".

Seriously, how do so many of you assume it still counts to just overlap triangles within the same scale? That makes just as much sense as "welp, I guess I could just break off smaller triangles and form even more triangles from those lol"

I swear, sometimes I honestly think I am one of the last remaining normal people in this world.

Nice. I teach 8th grade pre algebra. It's hard as fuck to find fun ice breaker activities that relate to math some what. I did this with them on the third day of school which was a Friday to end class. My students sit in groups and my idea was to use this activity to promote group thinking. Obviously it didn't work since none were correct but some of these kids got really passionate about trying to find the right number.

Because, like, there are 27 geometric shapes on that paper that are by definition a triangle. You know, three sides, three vertexes, totally enclosed shape, only straight lines, ect.

If I drew a triangle, then drew a circle entirely within that triangle, do you suddenly get confused about what shapes you're looking at or something?

I got it right at 27 but only because I was looking out specifically for something I could have missed. If this was in a timed test I probably would have gotten 23.

No, but that's beside the point. I maintain that yhe answer is dependent on whatever logic the student chooses to apply, in which case there is no single correct answer.
