Aligned Standard

M.EE.5.G.1-4: Sort two-dimensional figures and identify the attributes (angles, number of sides, corners, color) they have in common.

Grade Level Standard

This is aligned with the following California State Standards:

  • 5.G.1 - Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis, and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis, with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond (e.g., x-axis and x-coordinate, y-axis and y-coordinate).
  • 5.G.2 - Represent real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, and interpret coordinate values of points in the context of the situation.
  • 5.G.3 - Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.
  • 5.G.4 - Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties.

Linkage Level Descriptions

Initial Precursor

Recognize same as the object that shares all of the same attributes as other objects in a group. Recognize different as the object that shares some or none of the attributes as other objects in a group.

Distal Precursor

Group together two-dimensional shapes that are the same size and have the same orientation. Group together two-dimensional shapes that are different sizes and/or have different orientations.

Proximal Precursor

Communicate attribute values of a shape, such as the number of sides or number of corners (e.g., a square has four sides).

Target

Compare different shapes and communicate common attributes shared by them (e.g., a square and a rectangle have four sides).

Successor

Compare different shapes and identify similarities and differences between their attributes (e.g., a square and a rectangle have four sides, but a rectangle has two pairs of congruent sides and a square has four congruent sides).
