TEKS: MATH

3.6A – (R)- Classify and sort two- and three-dimensional figures, including cones, cylinders, spheres, triangular and rectangular prisms, and cubes, based on attributes using formal geometric language

3.6B – (S)- Use attributes to recognize rhombuses, parallelograms, trapezoids, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories

3.6E- (S)- decompose two congruent two‐dimensional figures into parts with equal areas and express the area of each part as a unit fraction of the whole and recognize that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape

STUDENT-FRIENDLY LEARNING OBJECTIVES

I can classify and sort two-dimensional figures based on their attributes.

I can classify and sort three-dimensional figures based on their attributes.

I can use attributes to recognize quadrilaterals and triangles.

I can draw nonexamples of quadrilaterals and triangles.

I can decompose a shape into parts with equal areas.

I can explain that equal parts do not have to be the same shape.
