Big Ideas
- Geometric figures can be classified and sorted based on attributes that define their shapes and structures.
- Using formal geometric language helps communicate the similarities and differences between two- and three-dimensional figures.
Essential Questions
- What attributes can be used to classify and sort two- and three-dimensional geometric figures?
- How can formal geometric language help us describe and compare shapes?
- Why is it important to recognize and name different geometric figures?
- How are cones, cylinders, spheres, prisms, and cubes alike and different?
- What strategies can we use to classify new or unfamiliar shapes?
