Exploring Two Dimensional Figures in 5th Grade Math

What is the primary purpose of classifying figures?

• To confuse the categories

• To reduce the number of figures

• To group figures based on common properties

• To create complex figures

Which group would you place a shape that is three-dimensional?

• Polygon

• Non-polygon

• 3D shapes

• 2D shapes

What defines a parallelogram?

• A shape with no parallel sides

• A four-sided figure with one set of parallel sides

• A shape with all sides equal

• A four-sided figure with opposite sides parallel

Which shape has all right angles and two pairs of parallel sides?

• Rhombus

• Rectangle

• Circle

• Trapezoid

What is a polygon?

• An open figure with straight sides

• A closed figure with straight sides

• A closed figure with curved sides

• A three-dimensional figure

Which figure is a special type of parallelogram that has four congruent sides and angles?

• Circle

• Rectangle

• Square

• Trapezoid

What characteristic does a trapezoid have?

• One set of parallel sides

• No parallel sides

• Two pairs of parallel sides

• All sides of equal length

In a classification table, what does the presence of right angles indicate about a figure?

• It is a polygon

• It has perpendicular sides

• It is a circle

• It is a non-polygon

Which of the following is not a characteristic of a rhombus?

• Four congruent sides

• Four right angles

• Two pairs of parallel sides

• All angles are acute

What does it mean if a figure is symmetrical in the context of the quiz?

• It cannot be divided into equal halves

• It has congruent angles

• It looks the same on both sides of a dividing line

• It has no parallel sides
