Type of Task/ Task Name Skills Standard Brief Description Grouping Strategy In this task, students will draw pictures to show Describing, Scaffolding/ what they already know about the shapes that they MGSE3.G.1 Drawing Shapes will be studying throughout this unit. Individual In this task, students will create different polygons Scaffolding/ Identifying Attributes MGSE3.G.1 using triangles and describe their shapes based on Partner common attributes. In this task, students will sort shapes based on Scaffolding/ Comparing/Contrasting, MGSE3.G.1 common attributes. Classifying Shapes Group/Partner In this task, students begin the process of exploring Constructing/ Sorting and Classifying shapes for their many attributes and use critical MGSE3.G.1 Shapes vocabulary to describe and compare those shapes Group/Partner through higher-level thinking skills. In this task, students will look at examples of Constructing/ Defining Quadrilaterals MGSE3.G.1 rhombuses, rectangles, and squares to make property Group/Partner lists of quadrilaterals. In this task, students will recognize shapes that are Practice/ Identifying Shape MGSE3.G.1 not only regular geometric figures, but irregular as Individual/Partner well. Practice/ Identifying Shapes Within In this task, students will look for shapes within MGSE3.G.1 Other Shape other shapes. Individual/Partner In this task, students begin exploring how to create plane figures using straight lines and angles and then Constructing/ Defining Shapes MGSE3.G.1 discover common features of rectangles, squares, Group/Individual and triangles. In this task, students will use the mathematical Practice/ Defining Quadrilaterals MGSE3.G.1 vocabulary developed through this unit to describe Individual/Partner the attributes of quadrilaterals.
