Explore and complete: Creating Shapes Discuss examples of 2-dimensional figures that satisfy the description on each of the cards? Select two cards from the deck to determine the attributes of the shape you will try to create. In pairs, reason about the properties of lines and angles to determine and draw a shape that satisfies both criteria. Answer:

Are there any combinations of attribute cards that you will not be able to draw? Is there another shape you could draw that shares the same properties? How many sides must a shape have to contain sides that are parallel? Can a shape have all acute angles?

Extension: Select three attribute cards to define each new shape. You may find it useful to reason about two attribute cards first, then evaluate which examples also satisfy the third criteria. Answer: How does your understanding of angles and lines help you draw two-dimensional figures based on their properties?

Explore: Set of Triangles A P. Use rulers to verify side length measures and protractors to verify right angles. Sort the triangles into categories: right triangles, triangles with an obtuse angle, and triangles with acute angles only. Answer:

How do you know which triangles have an obtuse angle? How did you determine which triangles to place in the sort with the right triangles? What do you notice about the triangles with acute angles only?
