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
Observation
• Prepare a number of flash cards listing quadrilateral properties. Ask 
students to identify the quadrilateral given specific properties. Cards 
could include such things as:
(i) a 2-D shape with four straight sides of equal length and four
right angles.
(ii) a 2-D shape with four straight sides and four right angles. One 
pair of sides is longer than the other.
(iii) a 2-D shape with four straight sides. One pair of sides is parallel 
with one side longer than the other.
(5SS6.1)
Performance
• Ask students to play a loop game (I have..., Who has...) using names 
of quadrilaterals and their characteristics.
(5SS6.1)
Paper and Pencil
• Ray sorted this set of quadrilaterals into two groups. Ask students 
what rule he used to sort the shapes.
(5SS6.1)
Interview
• Have a set of quadrilaterals for students to manipulate. Ask them 
to sort and to explain the sorting rule they used. They could then 
repeat the task using the same shapes but a different sorting rule.
