What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students use clues about sides, corners, and side lengths to draw a matching closed figure. They check that their drawing meets every clue.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student draws the correct figure from clues about sides, corners, and side lengths. The figure stays correct when drawn in a different size or orientation.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may draw an open figure or use curved lines when the clues call for straight sides. They may rely on a familiar orientation, or assume every four-sided figure is a square.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: Draw a closed shape with six straight sides and six corners. Mark each corner with a dot.

Ways to Teach It
Give students craft sticks to build a figure from side and corner clues, then trace the completed figure on paper.
Ask, “How are a square and rectangle alike, and what clues help you draw each one?”
Play Shape Clue Match by pairing cards that list attributes with student-drawn triangles, rectangles, squares, and hexagons.
Show photos of signs, tiles, and windows, then have students sketch one object using only its shape clues.
