Classifying 2D Shapes by Properties
Students will classify 2D shapes based on complex properties, including angles, sides, and symmetry.
Key Questions
- Differentiate between different types of quadrilaterals based on their properties.
- Justify the classification of a given 2D shape.
- Design a Venn diagram to sort various 2D shapes by their properties.

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
