    Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties.

Clarifications

Tasks for this target ask students to classify two-dimensional figures based on a hierarchy. Technology-enhanced items may be used to construct a hierarchy, or tasks may ask the student to select all classifications that...

    The student classifies two-dimensional figures into categories and/or subcategories based on their properties.

Item Guidelines

Depth of Knowledge

  • 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...

grid, two-dimensional figures, points, lines, line segments, angles

Key/Construct Relevant Vocabulary

right, acute, obtuse, line segments, parallel, perpendicular, symmetrical, line of symmetry

Allowable Tools

For some items rulers and/or protractors may be used.

Target-Specific Attributes

Two-dimensional figures can have up to 10 sides.

Accessibility

Item writers should consider the following Language and Visual Element/Design guidelines [1] when developing items. Language Key Considerations: Use simple, clear, and easy-to-understand language needed to assess the construct or aid in the understanding of the...

Development Notes

Classifying two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on an analysis of the relationship between properties of categories and subcategories will be assessed in Claim 3. Determining if a shape “is always,” “is sometimes,” or “is...

Task Description

Prompt Feature: The student is prompted to classify two-dimensional figures into categories/subcategories based on their properties. Stimulus Guidelines: Two-dimensional figures can have up to 10 sides. Shapes may include rhombus, rectangle, square, kite, triangle, quadrilateral, parallelogram, pentagon,...

Stimulus

The student is presented with the name of a category/subcategory of shapes and one descriptive property of that category/subcategory.

Example 1

Example Stem: All parallelograms have two pairs of opposite, parallel, equal-length sides.

Decide if each polygon shown is also a parallelogram. Select Yes or No for each polygon.

The blank table has 2 columns: Yes and No. The table has 3 rows: Rectangle, Trapezoid, and Rhombus.

Rubric: (1 point) The student correctly identifies if the given polygon is a parallelogram for all answer choices (e.g., Y, N, Y).
