Noticing and comparing properties of shapes

Noticing and comparing properties of shapes

A good understanding of shape depends on noticing differences in properties.

Success in geometry depends on knowledge of two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes along with an understanding of the properties of shapes and objects. Here, similarities and differences are important as students develop mathematical arguments about geometric relationships.

At most year levels, students can identify similarities and differences between shapes.
