The median of a triangle is the line segment that joins the vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side of the triangle. The three medians of a triangle are concurrent in a point that is called the centroid. There is a special relationship that involves the line segments when all of the three medians meet. The distance from each vertex to the centroid is two-thirds of the length of the entire median drawn from that vertex.

This is a hands on activity to explore concurrent lines formed in a triangle when vertices are joined to the midpoints of the opposite side.
