Classifying shapes by line properties

按线段属性分类图形

Description

Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or angles of a specified size; recognise right triangles as a category

Mastery Evidence
  • Sort a set of quadrilaterals into those with parallel sides and those without
  • Identify which triangles in a set are right triangles
  • Classify shapes that have both perpendicular and parallel sides
Assessment Prompt

If you show your child a mixed set of triangles and quadrilaterals, can they sort them into groups — like "shapes with at least one right angle" or "shapes with parallel sides" — and explain their reasoning?
