Distinguish two-dimensional shapes based upon their defining attributes (i.e., size, corners, and points).
Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Count the number of sides of a two-dimensional shape manipulative and name the shape based on the number of sides.
  • Count the angles or vertices “corners” of two-dimensional shape manipulative and name the shape based on the number counted.
Representation:
  • Given a visual representation of two-dimensional shapes, count the number of sides and name the shape based on the number of sides.
  • Given a visual representation of two-dimensional shapes, count the angles or vertices “corners” of two-dimensional shape and name the shape based on the number counted.
  • Understand the following concepts and vocabulary: two-dimensional, shape names, angles, sides.

Cluster: Reason with shapes and their attributes. (Additional Cluster) : 

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.
