4.8 Properties of Two-dimensional Shapes

Unit Goals

• Students classify triangles and quadrilaterals based on the properties of their side lengths and angles, and learn about lines of symmetry in two-dimensional figures. They use their understanding of these attributes to solve problems, including problems involving perimeter and area.

Section A Goals

• Classify triangles (including right triangles), parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses, and squares based on the properties of their side lengths and angles.
• Identify and draw lines of symmetry in two-dimensional figures.

Section B Goals

• Solve problems involving unknown side lengths, perimeter, area, and angle measurements using the known attributes and properties of two-dimensional shapes.
