Identify and name 2D shapes

Identify and name complex 2D shapes

This math skill involves identifying and naming complex two-dimensional shapes based on their characteristics, such as the presence of right angles, parallel sides, and equal-length sides. Shapes include right triangles, non-right triangles, trapezoids, kites, parallelograms, and rhombuses.

Teaching Transcript

🎙️

Let's name these two dimensional shapes.

A triangle with one perfect corner is called a right triangle

And if it has no perfect corners, it's called a non-right triangle

A shape with one pair of parallel sides that are different lengths is called a trapezoid

And a shape with two pairs of sides that are the same length, connected to each other, is called a kite

If it has two pairs of parallel sides, it's called a parallelogram

And if the pairs of parallel sides are the same length, it's called a rhombus
