Shape Classification Venn Diagrams

Various 2D shapes in different colours and sizes

🎯 WALT: We Are Learning To

Today we are learning to:

• Classify shapes based on multiple attributes like number of sides, size, and colour

• Use Venn diagrams to show groups of shapes with shared properties

📝 Shape Attributes Review

1. Circle the correct number of sides for each shape:

Triangle: 2 sides    3 sides    4 sides

Rectangle: 3 sides    4 sides    5 sides

Circle: 0 sides    1 side    many sides

2. Which shapes have straight edges? Tick all that apply:

Square

Circle

Triangle

Rectangle

3. Look at this Venn diagram. Where would you place a red triangle?

Left circle: Red shapes     Right circle: Triangles

Left circle only

Right circle only

In the middle (overlap)

Outside both circles

🔍 Venn Diagram Practice

4. Complete this Venn diagram by writing where each shape belongs:

Shapes to sort: Blue square, Red circle, Blue triangle, Yellow square

Left circle: Blue shapes     Right circle: Shapes with straight edges

Left circle only: _________________

Right circle only: _________________

Overlap (middle): _________________

Outside both circles: _________________

5. Create your own classification! Choose two attributes to sort these shapes:

Shapes: Large red triangle, Small blue square, Large blue circle, Small red triangle

My two attributes are:

Attribute 1: _________________     Attribute 2: _________________

Draw your Venn diagram here and place the shapes:

6. Explain your thinking:

I put the _________________ in the overlap because _________________

🌟 Challenge Activity

7. Extension: Can you sort shapes using THREE attributes?

Think about: colour, size, and number of sides

Choose three shapes that would be tricky to classify and explain where they would go:

8. Reflection: What did you learn about classifying shapes today?

Complete this sentence: "I learned that shapes can be grouped by..."

✅ Success Criteria - Can you:

Identify at least two attributes of shapes?

Group shapes using a Venn diagram?

Explain why shapes belong in certain groups?

Use words like "sides", "curved", "straight", "parallel"?
