Identify the attributes of quadrilaterals.

Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Use manipulatives to count the number of sides to determine if the shape is a quadrilateral.
  • Use manipulatives to count the number of vertices or angles to determine if the shape is a quadrilateral.
Representation:
  • Use a pictorial representation, count the number of sides to determine if the shape is a quadrilateral.
  • Use a pictorial representation, count the number of vertices or angles to determine if the shape is a quadrilateral.
  • Understand the concepts and vocabulary of sides, quadrilateral, vertices, angles.

Date Adopted or Revised: 06/14 Cluster: Reason with shapes and their attributes. (Supporting Cluster)

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.

Name Description
MAFS.3.G.1.1: 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.
