Concepts and Procedures
Standards
G-1
Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures.
G-2
Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right triangles as a category, and...
G-3
Recognize a line of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure as a line across the figure such that the figure can be folded along the line into matching parts. Identify line-symmetric figures and...
Clarifications
Tasks for this target will ask students to draw or identify points, lines, line segments, rays, and parallel and perpendicular lines; to classify angles as right, acute, or obtuse (often paired with 4.MD Target...
Range Achievement Level Descriptors
Evidence Required
1
The student draws points, lines, line segments, rays, and angles and identifies these in two-dimensional figures.
2
The student classifies two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel/perpendicular line segments and angles of a specified size, including identifying right triangles.
3
The student identifies and draws lines of symmetry in line-symmetric figures, and distinguishes line-symmetric figures from line-asymmetric figures.
Item Guidelines
Depth of Knowledge
M-DOK1
Recall includes the recall of information such as fact, definition, term, or a simple procedure, as well as performing a simple algorithm or applying a formula. That is, in mathematics a one-step, well-defined, and straight algorithmic procedure should be...
M-DOK2
Skill/Concept includes the engagement of some mental processing beyond a habitual response. A Level 2 assessment item requires students to make some decisions as to how to approach the problem or activity, whereas Level 1 requires students to demonstrate a...
