Sample Learning Goals
- Predict how moving a side or corner will change or maintain the current named shape.
- Determine the similarities and differences between quadrilaterals by looking at their side, angle, and diagonal measures and understand that the shared attributes can define a larger category.
- Classify quadrilaterals based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of equal or right angles.
- Classify quadrilaterals in a hierarchy based on shared geometric properties.

5.G.B.4
Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties. -
5.G.B.3
Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles. -
4.G.A.3
Recognize a line of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure as a line across the figure such that the figure can be folded along the line into matching parts. Identify line-symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry. -
4.G.A.2
Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right triangles as a category, and identify right triangles. -
3.G.A.1
Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories. -
K.G.A.2
Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.
