Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Differentiate Shapes Based on Lines and Angles. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.

Main Concepts

Classify triangles by side and by angle using the above terms.
Classify parallelograms, rectangles, squares, trapezoids, rhombus using parallel and perpendicular lines.
A trapezoid is defined as “A quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides.”
Identify a rule for a given set of shapes.
Classify a shape given rules for classification.
Equilateral triangles have 3 congruent sides and 3 congruent angles.
Scalene triangles have no congruent sides or angles.
Acute triangles have 3 angles that are each less than 90 degrees.
Right triangles have one angle than is exactly 90 degrees.
Obtuse triangles have one angle hat is greater than 90 degrees.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What is the difference between perpendicular and parallel lines? How would you describe right, obtuse, and acute angles? Are all triangles the same? Are all 4-sided polygons (quadrilaterals) the same? What do you think it means to classify objects- can objects be classified in more than one way? In this game you will be classifying quadrilaterals and triangles, what do the prefixes quad- and tri- tell you about these types of shapes? In the game you will be hacking computers to defeat a virus that is trying to shut down all of the computers in the world, what does it mean to hack a computer?

After the Game

What clue did the game provide you for when you created a right angle in a triangle? Can you explain the difference between an isosceles, right, and equilateral triangle? What did you have to do with the sides of a triangle to create an obtuse triangle? How did you change the sides to make an acute triangle? What does it mean if sides are parallel- what is a shape that has parallel sides? In this game you hacked a computer to defeat a virus using math, what other jobs use math?
