Florida B.E.S.T. MA.5.GR.1

MA.5.GR.1 is a B.E.S.T. standard. These are the benchmarks under it.

• MA.5.GR.1.1

  Classify triangles or quadrilaterals into different categories based on shared defining attributes. Explain why a triangle or quadrilateral would or would not b...

• MA.5.GR.1.2

  Identify and classify three-dimensional figures into categories based on their defining attributes. Figures are limited to right pyramids, right prisms, right c...

01

What Students Need to Do

Students examine figures and identify defining features such as sides, angles, faces, edges, vertices, and parallel lines. They use those features to sort and name figures accurately.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students correctly name figures using sides, angles, faces, edges, vertices, and parallel or perpendicular lines. They explain why a figure can belong to more than one group.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may sort by color, size, or orientation instead of mathematical properties. They may think a square is not a rectangle, or confuse faces, edges, and vertices on solid figures.

04

How to Assess It

Give students a square and a square pyramid. Ask them to name every category each belongs to and list two attributes supporting each classification.

1. 01

   Have pairs sort shape cards and solid models into labeled hoops, then move figures that belong in more than one group.

2. 02

   Ask, "Is every square a rectangle?" Students write a claim and support it with defining attributes.

3. 03

   Play Attribute Guessing: one student gives clues about sides, angles, faces, edges, or vertices while classmates identify the figure.

4. 04

   Photograph objects around school, then label each matching shape or solid and list the attributes that support the match.

• MA.2.GR.1.1

  Identify and draw two-dimensional figures based on their defining attributes. Figures are limited to triangles, rectangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons and oct...

• MA.1.GR.1

  Identify and analyze two- and three-dimensional figures based on their defining attributes.

• MA.1.GR.1.1

  Identify, compare and sort two- and three-dimensional figures based on their defining attributes. Figures are limited to circles, semi-circles, triangles, recta...

• MA.K.GR.1

  Identify, compare and compose two- and three-dimensional figures.
