About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students classify two-dimensional figures by whether they have parallel or perpendicular sides.
  • Students identify and count the acute, right, and obtuse angles in two-dimensional figures.
  • Students use side and angle properties to name a shape from clues.

How to use

Use after teaching parallel lines, perpendicular lines, and angle types. Real pattern blocks and the corner of an index card (to check for right angles) make good helpers.

Curriculum

Common Core standard covered

4.G.A.2

Pattern Block Detectives

Sort shapes by their sides and angles.

Edges and lines

Look at how the lines or sides meet. A corner that fits the corner of a card exactly is a right angle.

1.
Mr. Ortiz traced two edges of some blocks and stretched each pair of edges into lines. Sort each pair of lines.
ParallelPerpendicularThey cross, but are not perpendicular
2.
Three of these blocks have at least one pair of parallel sides. Which block has no parallel sides?
WXYZ
  • A. Block W
  • B. Block X
  • C. Block Y
  • D. Block Z
3.
Some blocks got turned around in the bin. Turning a block does not change its sides or angles. Sort each block.
