Cluster 1:
Reason with shapes and their attributes.
MAFS.3.G.1.1
:
Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others)
may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger
category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of
quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.
MAFS.3.G.1.2
:
Partition shapes into parts with equal areas. Express the area of each part as a unit
fraction of the whole. For example, partition a shape into 4 parts with equal area, and describe the
area of each part as 1/4 of the area of the shape.
