Let's Sort It! - 2-D Shapes and 3-D Figures Sorting Activity

  Common Core Curriculum alignment

• CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.G.A.1

  Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes, such as a given number of angles or a given number of equal faces. Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes.

  In Grade 2Standards for Mathematical PracticeGeometryReason with shapes and their attributes
• CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.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, rectangl...

  In Grade 3Standards for Mathematical PracticeMeasurement & DataGeometryReason with shapes and their attributes
• CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.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.

  In Grade 4Standards for Mathematical PracticeGeometryDraw and identify lines and angles, and classify shapes by properties of their lines and angles
• CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.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.

  In Grade 5Standards for Mathematical PracticeGeometryClassify two-dimensional figures into categories based on their properties
• CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.G.B.4

  Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties.
