Grade 5 gradeMath subjectFree quiz

Fifth-grade classifying 2D shapes uses properties in a hierarchy. A square is a rectangle with equal sides. A rectangle is a parallelogram with four right angles. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. Students sort by those properties, not only by a familiar drawing.

What you practice

These are the Grade 5 Classifying 2D Shapes skills this quiz is built around.

Use parallel sides, equal sides, and right angles to classify quadrilaterals.
Tell that every square is a rectangle and a rhombus in this hierarchy.
Name a trapezoid using the definition "exactly one pair of parallel sides".

A useful tip

Check properties, not the tilt of the drawing. A rhombus still has four equal sides if it is leaning. A square has four right angles, so it belongs with rectangles as well as with rhombi.
