This anchor chart explicitly introduce the classification of quadrilaterals by their properties. It provides visuals and attributes to help scaffold. In the top half, the venn diagram shows the relationship between the polygons/quadrilaterals. There is a little trick beneath the diagram: In to Out is Always, Out to In is Sometimes, Square is everything. What this means is if you are going from outer to inner, it will be sometimes (e.g. Trapezoids are sometimes Rectangles). Or, go from inner t
This anchor chart explicitly introduce the classification of 3D figures by multiple attributes. It provides visuals and explanation to help scaffold. On the top, it shows the name of each part of a 3D shape (face, base, apex, edge). It also explains that the bases are parallel in the prisms. In the bottom half, the chart shows the numbers of faces, edges, apex, and bases each figure has with visuals and the figure names.
This anchor chart explicitly introduce the classification of triangles by angles and sides. It provides visuals and explanation to help scaffold. In the bottom half, the venn diagram shows the relationship between different triangles. Both Isosceles and Scalene can be acute, obtuse, and right triangles. But Equilateral can only be acute triangle. On the right hand side of the diagram, it provides two short chants to help students remember the concept in a playful memorable way.
This anchor chart shows two examples to write rules for numerical patterns step by step. One includes horizontal input/output table and the other includes vertical input/output. The second requires a second step to find the complete rule.
This volume anchor chart shows step by step instructions to find the volume composite figures with two examples. One is cutting into top and bottom. The other one is cutting into left and right.
