Step 1:

Take a sheet of colored paper, from the edge of the paper, draw a triangle with an angle of 120 ^o , then draw a symmetrical triangle with it across the opposite side of the obtuse angle (the two triangles share this same edge). Continue drawing the third triangle opposite the second triangle, repeating it until there are 4 equal triangles.
