Classifying & Sorting Two- & Three-Dimensional Figures

T.I.P.S.

Lightbulb

Students must be able to sort different objects and then classify them using formal geometric language such as attribute, vertex, face, and edge.

Example

Classify the objects below based on the numbers of edges, number of vertices, and bases.

Readiness Standard

 3.6 Geometry and measurement. The student applies mathematical process standards to analyze attributes of two-dimensional geometric figures to develop generalizations about their properties. The student is expected to:

(A) classify and sort two- and three-dimensional solids, including cones, cylinders, spheres, triangular and rectangular prisms, and cubes, based on attributes using formal geometric language
