Classification And Identification

If only you had a Sorting Hat to sort out quadrilaterals. Learners sort cutouts of quadrilaterals based on their properties and attributes. A flowchart helps them organize the results of the activity.

Sort this resource into the Use pile. Scholars investigate attributes of quadrilaterals and then use the results to sort and classify the shapes labeling each figure with their properties to justify the classifications.

Youngsters count, classify, and estimate quantities using buttons after a read aloud of The Button Box by Margarette S. Reid. They discuss the difference between guessing and estimating. Based on an experiment, they predict the number of...

Parallel parking might be difficult, but finding parallel lines is fairly simple. For this lesson, learners first complete an assessment task involving parallel and perpendicular lines in the coordinate plane. Individuals then take part...

By the time pupils get to upper-level math courses, they have experience with many different types of functions. How do they keep them all straight? The lesson classifies functions into their types and breaks down those types into...

Investigate the properties of triangles, quadrilaterals, and regular polygons using this interactive Learn Alberta math resource. Students are able to practice classifying shapes based on their different properties. Be sure to follow the...

Fifth graders are engaged in sorting and classifying geometric shapes of various colors and sizes. They discuss the properties of these shapes and illustrate a range of classifications using Venn diagrams.

Quadrilaterals can be quirky! Fourth graders use geoboards and bands to create four-sided figures. They analyze the attributes such as angle size and presence of parallel sides. As a result they learn to differentiate among rectangles,...

This multimedia that includes a short video [1:19] and other interactive activities on Learn Alberta math resource looks at real-world examples of shape classification in the investigation and solving of crimes. The accompanying...

It all depends upon the terms. Pupils use the interactive table to sort polynomials. The scholars determine the names for the types of polynomials based on the number of terms.
