  • 4.MG.5 — The student will classify and describe quadrilaterals (parallelograms, rectangles, squares, rhombi, and/or trapezoids) using specific properties and attributes. Students will demonstrate the following Knowledge and Skills:
  • 4.MG.5d — Compare, contrast, and classify quadrilaterals (parallelograms, rectangles, squares, rhombi, and/or trapezoids) based on the following properties and attributes:
  • 4.MG.5a — Develop definitions for parallelograms, rectangles, squares, rhombi, and trapezoids through the exploration of properties and attributes.

  • 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, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.
  • 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.
  • 5.G.B.4 — Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties.
  • 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.

Washington, D.C.

  • 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, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.
  • 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.
  • 5.G.B.4 — Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties.
  • 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.

West Virginia

  • M.3.26 — Understand that shapes in distinct 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, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.
  • M.5.25 — Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category (e.g., all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles).
  • M.5.26 — Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties.

Wisconsin

  • M.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, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.
  • M.5.G.B.3 — Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category.
  • M.5.G.B.4 — Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties.
  • M.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.

Wyoming

  • 3.G.K.1 — Use attributes of quadrilaterals to classify rhombuses, rectangles, and squares. Understand that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.
  • 3.G.K — Reason with shapes and their attributes.
  • 5.G.K.3 — Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category.
  • 5.G.K.4 — Classify polygons in a hierarchy based on properties.
