MATHEMATICS 5 CURRICULUM GUIDE 2015
Suggested Assessment Strategies
Resources/Notes
2-D AND 3-D GEOMETRY
General Outcome: Describe the Characteristics of 3-D Objects and 2-D Shapes and 
Analyze the Relationships Among Them
Authorized Resource
Paper and Pencil
• 
Provide students with a variety of 2-D shapes with different colour 
edges.
Ask them to identify the following using colours:
(i) parallel edges 
(ii) intersecting edges
(iii) perpendicular edges
Students should explain their choices and designations.
Example: Red and blue edges are parallel. So are green and yellow.
Edges red and blue are horizontal. Edges green and yellow are 
vertical. Red and green, red and yellow, blue and green, and 
blue and yellow all intersect at right angles and are, therefore, 
perpendicular.
(5SS5.1, 5SS5.3)
• 
Ask students to draw and label separate 2-D figures which 
demonstrate each of the following:
(i) one set of parallel sides
(ii) two sets of parallel sides
(iii) no parallel sides
(iv) adjacent sides (sides that touch each other - share a vertex)
which are perpendicular
(v) vertical and horizontal edges
(5SS5.4)
Journal 
• 
Ask students to create a “Who Am I?” journal entry. Each student 
describes the attributes of a particular 2-D shape and challenges 
other students to identify the shape being described.
(5SS5.3) 
Performance
• Ask students to create two facts and a fib about a particular 2-D 
shape. Write them on an index card and have a tea party where 
students circulate and challenge classmates to identify the fib.
(5SS5.3)
