Make a triangle, each of whose sides is 2 matchsticks long. This uses six matchsticks.

Join the middle points of the sides of this triangle to one another - using another three match sticks.

You will then have four small triangles and one large one.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
