2D shapes: classify in a hierarchy based on properties | MightyOwl Math | 5th Grade

A #rectangle is a #square...or is it a square that's a rectangle? How can one shape also be another shape, you ask? Great question! Let's talk a bit about classifying shapes and what #attributes make a square a square, or a square a rectangle. Don't worry if that sounds confusing, we'll explain it all in this video!

Key words: #ClassifyingShapes, square, rectangle, attribute, #2DShapes

Geometry | Classify two-dimensional figures into categories based on their properties
5.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.
5.G.B.4: Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties.
