1.) Working with a variety of polygons, students will sort them by number of sides and be able to identify the type of polygon. They will also be able to identify items in the classroom by type, such as the clock might be square; the windows rectangles; a pencil box might be a rectangular solid. Patterns in fabric or wallpaper and designs on paper products often have geometric shapes; other geometric shapes can be found in advertisements and illustrations. Students could select a shape, then go on a "Hunt" for that shape. If video cameras are available, students would take a from two to four second video of each shape, then bring back their video record of their discoveries. 

2.) Using photographs or drawings from magazines, students outline the shapes found and write the shape name inside the outline. These pages could be kept in their Mathematics Journals as references for plane and solid geometric figures. 

1.) Given, or shown, an assortment of polygons, the students are able to classify them as triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, heptagons, or octagons. In addition, students are able to state what specific kind of a triangle or quadrilateral it is.  

2.) Using Pattern Blocks, Tantrums, or other sets of materials, students can make new polygons from other shapes. They are able to identify the component parts and the resultant shape. They should also know if it is not possible to build a certain shape from the parts they have.
