Family Note
In this lesson children played a game called Shape Capture, in which they “captured” shapes based on
attributes: the number of sides, the number of angles and vertices, the number of right angles, the
number of pairs of parallel sides, and side lengths. After your child has completed the Home Link,
discuss how the shapes he or she circled are different from the others.
Please return this Home Link to school tomorrow.
