Description
This lesson is a great opener or introduction lesson for classifying 2-dimensional shapes and integrates literacy into mathematics.
Students will review and discuss important vocabulary related to shapes including: perpendicular lines, parallel lines, acute angles, right angles, obtuse angles, and more.
Students will read, "The Patchwork Path: A Quilt Map to Freedom" and then identify shapes, lines, and angles they see in the patches.
At the end, students will have an opportunity to create their own patch.

CCSS3.G.A.1
Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.
CCSS4.G.A.1
Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures.
CCSS4.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.
CCSS5.G.B.3
Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.
CCSS5.G.B.4
Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties.
