Use this resource to help your students develop their understanding of trapezoids and other two-dimensional shapes. Students will compare the attributes of trapezoids to those of other plane figures, such as triangles and ovals, in this geometry activity.

What makes a hexagon a hexagon? How is it different from other polygons? This handy geometry resource with help your students to practice identifying the characteristics of a hexagon and comparing them to other two-dimensional shapes.

What makes a trapezoid unique? How is it different from a hexagon or a pentagon? Use this resource with your students to practice identifying the characteristics of a trapezoid and comparing them to other 2-D shapes.

A key characteristic of trapezoids is that they have a set of parallel lines—lines that never intersect. Use this helpful geometry resource with your students to practice identifying parallel lines in trapezoids and comparing different 2-D shapes.

Can your students differentiate between a pentagon and a hexagon or circle? Can they explain what makes these shapes unique? This resource will give your students practice identifying the characteristics of a pentagon and comparing it to other 2-D shapes.

Give your students a chance to sort polygons into categories that make sense to them.
