Learning objective

What this activity builds

Match a two-dimensional shape to its name by checking defining attributes.

Worked example

Which name matches a shape with six straight sides?

hexagon

The prefix “hex-” signals six; count all six sides before making the match.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Add right triangle, octagon, hexagon, pentagon, or trapezoid only after the core matches are fluent.
  • English labels are reviewed content and need separate localization before another language is offered.
