Practice geometry skills with this engaging math activity all about polygons! Your third-grade students will learn to identify the properties of a polygon as they work through a variety of practical questions in this interactive math game. Upon completion of this activity, students will have gained confidence and proficiency in their basic understanding of polygons.
This third-grade geometry game presents polygons with a variety of fun, yet challenging math questions. Students may be asked to identify whether the given shape is a polygon. They may be asked how many sides or angles the given polygon has. Students may be required to choose which shape is not a polygon. Or students may be required to state how many pairs of parallel sides the given shape has, as well as how many right angles it has. If students get stuck on a question, they may opt to use the "Hint" option. The hint consists of a helpful written and/or pictorial clue that will provide insight into the question being asked without giving away the answer. When students answer a question incorrectly, they will be shown a detailed explanation page, from which they can learn where they went wrong as well as how to obtain the correct answer in the future. This way, students move through the lesson having learned from their mistakes.
This interactive third-grade math game comes equipped with several practical features that help students make the most of their math practice session. A progress-tracker in the upper-right corner of the practice screen shows students how many questions they have answered out of the total number of questions in the lesson. A score-tracker lets students know how many points they have earned so far in the lesson. Opposite, the speaker icon indicates the read-aloud feature; students can click the button to have the question read out loud to them in a clear voice. This is a great option for ESL/ELL students and children who excel at auditory learning. All lesson features are designed with students' success in mind!

Geometry
Reason With Shapes And Their Attributes.
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.
