About 2nd Grade Shapes & Equal Shares (CCSS 2.G.A.1–3)
- Polygons are named by their sides and angles: triangle (3), quadrilateral (4), pentagon (5), hexagon (6). A cube has 6 equal square faces.
- A rectangle partitioned into rows and columns of same-size squares can be counted by adding equal rows or columns.
- Equal shares of a whole are called halves (2 equal parts), thirds (3 equal parts), and fourths or quarters (4 equal parts).
