In the assessment task students will identify and draw two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes by using descriptions. Students are told they are being detectives to solve mystery shapes. They will need to use the clues on their worksheets to identify the shapes and draw the shape as further evidence of knowing. An assessment task sheet and rubric are provided.

In this Khan Academy interactive, students will name shapes based on their defining and non-defining attributes.

In this Khan Academy interactive, students will recognize triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and hexagons, having specified attributes.

Students love to paint and draw. Using Paint Online, students can practice their shapes. Teachers can assign certain shapes and the students will create pictures with those shapes in them.

This is a remix of a task from the Illustrative Mathematics website. The lesson, as posted at Illustrative Mathematics, is a solid lesson teaching the non-defining and defining attributes of squares, triangles, and rectangles. This remix seeks to add resources for hexagons to this lesson.

In this assessment task students will become construction engineers and build three-dimensional shapes out of straws, twist ties, paper clips, toothpicks and other supplies. An assessment task sheet and rubric are provided.

In this assessment task, students identify three-dimensional shapes based on riddles about the shape’s attributes.

The Family Letters are intended to be sent home at the beginning and middle of the cluster. They explain big ideas of the cluster using family-friendly language. Families can also find tips for working with their children at home, digital games, videos, and books. This file contains both English and Spanish versions of the Family Letters.

In this assessment task all students are involved to describe the attributes of shapes. Geometric shapes are placed in bags. A student chooses a shape and describes it using attributes such as corners sides or same sides. The students who are seated will draw the shape their classmate described on a whiteboard. The class will discuss the attributes that let them know they chose the correct shape. A student checklist and rubric are provided.
