Level

This interactive math lesson is categorized as Level C. It may be best suited for 3rd graders.

Common Core Standard

3.G.1, 4.G.1, MA.5.GR.1.1, 5.5A
Geometry

Reason With Shapes And Their Attributes.
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.
