🔷 Looking to get students sorting 2D shapes into categories? This activity is the perfect review for your 3rd 4th or 5th graders. Give worksheets a boost with this hands-on math activity.The sorts work best if you use manipulatives. If you do not have manipulatves, I have included paper polygons students can cut out. 🛑 Are you a member of the TLL Membership? These materials are already included.

You could use manipulatives or the cut out squares included.*Polygon Sort with 6 squares*Polygon Sort with a Venn Diagram*Polygon Sort with 3 Circles *(I used this to sort polygons with 1 pair, 2 pairs, or No pairs of parallel sides)*Polygon Sort- Labeled with 1 Pair , 2 Pair, or No Pairs of Parallel sides*Polygon Sort Cut-Out Shapes- I used manipulatives for all of these activities, but included the cut out shapes with the activities in case you do not have access to manipulatives. *Classifying Quadrilaterals (Version 1) contains the number of parallel sides, sides of equal length, right angles and give the quadrilateral as many names as possible (ex: polygon, quadrilateral, parallelogram, rectangle, square, etc.)*Classifying Quadrilaterals (Version 2) Students identify the number of parallel sides, sides of equal length, right angles. Then, students give the quadrilateral as many names as possible (ex: polygon, quadrilateral, parallelogram, rectangle, square, etc.)*Name that Quadrilateral! Classifying Quadrilaterals (Version 3)- Students identify the number of parallel sides, sides of equal length, right angles. Then, students give the quadrilateral as many names as possible (ex: polygon, quadrilateral, parallelogram, rectangle, square, etc.*Classifying Quadrilaterals (Anchor Chart for Math Notebook) Completed Chart that describes the characteristics of each type of quadrilateral*Classifying Quadrilaterals (Anchor Chart for Math Notebook) This chart is for students to describe the quadrilaterals in as many ways as possible (i.e 2 pairs of parallel sides, 2 sides of the same length, etc.) You could also use this chart for students to list all the names of the quadrilaterals.*Classifying Quadrilaterals (Anchor Chart for Math Notebook) This chart is the same as the one above except without lines.*Types of Triangles (interactive chart for Math Notebook) Students draw a picture of the 6 types of Triangles*Talking About Triangles- Students identify the size of the angle, the length of the sides. Then, students give the triangle as many names as possible.
