Pages: 5 Pages
Grades: 4 - 5

Curriculum

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.MD.C.5

Recognize angles as geometric shapes that are formed wherever two rays share a common endpoint, and understand concepts of angle measurement:
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.MD.C.6

Measure angles in whole-number degrees using a protractor. Sketch angles of specified measure.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.G.A.1

Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.G.A.2

Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right triangles as a category, and identify right triangles.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.G.A.3

Recognize a line of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure as a line across the figure such that the figure can be folded along the line into matching parts. Identify line-symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry.

Monitor and assess your students' understanding of 2D shapes and their properties with this 2-page worksheet.

🟡 🟪 2D Shapes and Their Properties🔺🔶

Use this worksheet to build upon the basic knowledge of 2D shapes and their properties, such as:

geometry terms (line, line segment, angle, ray, parallel lines, perpendicular lines)
shapes and their attributes
acute, obtuse, and right triangles
drawing an angle with a given measure
drawing lines of symmetry.

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding

In addition to individual student work time, use these worksheets as:

Math centers
Math warm-ups
End-of-the-day wrap-ups
A Fast finisher activity

Students working above-grade level can explore the symmetry of more complex shapes in the worksheets, such as oval, hexagon, pentagon, rhombus, and kite.

Students who need extra support can focus on the first worksheet only. Students requiring scaffolding could complete this worksheet before progressing to more complicated concepts on the second sheet.
