Show Two Different Ways — Here are five shapes: triangle, square, pentagon, rectangle, hexagon.
Way 1 — Sort them into "3 or 4 sides" and "5 or more sides":
3 or 4 sides:
5 or more sides:
Way 2 — Think of your OWN sorting rule and sort them again:
My rule:
Group 1: Group 2:
Read carefully. Think about what is happening. Draw if it helps!
A stop sign has 8 sides. A yield sign is a triangle. How many MORE sides does a stop sign have than a yield sign?
My thinking:
more sides
Nora traced 2 pentagons and 1 hexagon. How many vertices did she trace in all?
My thinking:
vertices
