TARGET 1: I Can Name & Identify Polygons
Count sides and vertices to name the shape
Triangle 3 Sides
3 straight sides and 3 corners (vertices).
I can identify this
Square 4 Sides
4 equal straight sides and 4 square corners.
I can identify this
Rectangle 4 Sides
4 straight sides (opposite sides equal length).
I can identify this
Pentagon 5 Sides
5 straight sides and 5 vertices (corners).
I can identify this

TARGET 2: I Can Build & Construct Polygons
Use classroom tools or a straightedge
Straight Sides Only
Every side of my shape is completely straight (no arcs, curves, or wobbly lines).
Fully Closed Corners (Vertices)
All endpoints connect tightly. There are no gaps or open doorways into the shape.
Hands-On Classroom Materials
I built a polygon using geoboards, craft sticks, toothpicks, or paper strips.
Drawn with a Straightedge / Ruler
I drew a polygon using a ruler or straightedge to keep my sides crisp and straight.
