Standard: 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.

LESSON: These learnzillion.com
lessons address understanding
attributes of 2D shapes:
 Count sides and angles to identify
polygons
 Identify quadrilaterals based on
attributes
 Compare quadrilaterals based on
attributes
 Classify quadrilaterals by looking
at multiple attributes.
LESSON: These learnzillion.com
lessons address understanding
attributes of 2D shapes:
 Analyze and compare triangles by
their sides
 Classify and compare
quadrilaterals
 Identify attributes of polygons.
TASK: Students create quadrilaterals
on geo boards, then sort based on
criteria they determine.
TASK: Students create quadrilaterals
based on given criteria.
TASK: In this task, students identify
quadrilaterals based on attributes.
TASK: The purpose of this task is to
have students reason about different
kinds of shapes based on their
defining attributes and to understand
the relationship between different
categories of shapes that share some
defining attributes.
ACTIVITY: This online game has
students drag shapes that meet given
criteria (clues) into a box.
ACTIVITY: This online game has
students identify 3 types of triangles.
ACTIVITY: This online game
addresses shape characteristics.
