Classify parallelograms based on the presence or absence of right angles or based on the presence or absence of sides of equal length. Define rectangles as parallelograms with four right angles and rhombuses as parallelograms with four equal sides.
The core standards covered in this lesson
5.G.B.3 — Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.
5.G.B.4 — Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties.
The foundational standards covered in this lesson
4.G.A.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 identify right triangles.

a. Sort the shapes (cut out from Parallelograms Template) into as many categories as you’d like. Then explain how you sorted them.
b. Sort the shapes (cut out from Parallelograms Template) in another way. Then explain how you sorted them.

Problem Set
A task that represents the peak thinking of the lesson - mastery will indicate whether or not objective was achieved
5-10 minutes
For each statement below, circle whether it is always true, sometimes true, or never true.
a. A parallelogram is a rhombus. Always Sometimes Never
b. A rhombus is a parallelogram. Always Sometimes Never
Which of the following describes the shape below? There are three correct answers.
What would have to be true of the shape in #2 in order for it to belong in all four shape categories (A, B, C, and D)?
The Extra Practice Problems can be used as additional practice for homework, during an intervention block, etc. Daily Word Problems and Fluency Activities are aligned to the content of the unit but not necessarily to the lesson objective, therefore feel free to use them anytime during your school day.
Extra Practice Problems
Help students strengthen their application and fluency skills with daily word problem practice and content-aligned fluency activities.

Classify rectangles based on the presence or absence of sides of equal length, and classify rhombuses based on the presence or absence of right angles. Define squares as quadrilaterals with sides of equal length and all right angles.
Topic A: Volume of Three-Dimensional Figures
Understand volume as an attribute of solid figures that is measured in cubic units. Find the volume of concrete three-dimensional figures.
Standards
5.MD.C.35.MD.C.4
Find the volume of pictorial three-dimensional figures.
5.MD.C.4
Find the volume of a right rectangular prism by thinking about its layers.
5.MD.C.5
Find the volume of a right rectangular prism using its side lengths.
Represent volume using expressions related to the formulas $$V = b \times h $$ and $$V = l \times w \times h$$. Use these formulas to find the volume of pictorial rectangular prisms.
Understand standard units for measuring volume, including cubic inches, cubic centimeters, cubic feet, and cubic meters. Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving these various units.
5.MD.C.45.MD.C.5.B
Solve more complex real-world and mathematical problems involving volume.
Solve a three-act task involving volume.
Understand that volume is additive. Find the volume of composite solid figures when all dimensions are given and their decomposition is already shown.
5.MD.C.5.C
Understand that volume is additive. Find the volume of composite solid figures when not all dimensions are given and/or they must be decomposed.
