Help sort shapes, in the shape factory. Examine examples of shapes and determine if they belong in the Yes polygon set. Examine examples of shapes that do not belong in the set. Work out what features of the polygon are important and test your ideas by sorting some shapes. Then program the robot and see if it sorts the shapes into polygon sets correctly. This learning object is the fifth in a series of seven objects.
Objective
Students apply inductive reasoning to identify types of polygons.
Students compare shape features in order to identify the geometric properties that define a set of shapes.
