So happy to know I'm not the only one that looked at this worksheet and said what the ????. Heres to the next 80 parents that have to figure this out.

Thank you!!! My daughter is in 2nd grade and came home with this sheet. Hubby and I were stumped. LOL Thank goodness for this 2006 thread!

Hi Tracye2;

Still using the same worksheet are they? Welcome to the forum.

My daughter has the same worksheet. I was just surfing the web to see if I could find some answers and came across this.. It helped a lot.. Thanks!!

Hi lin84;

Welcome to the forum.

Argh! · 2012-01-10 11:12:10

And after 7 years from orig post, worksheet is still going strong. I had the right idea (simply put) but my husband insisted it was the more complicated (polygon, quads, ect). I wikipedia'd "plane shapes" and there wasnt an existence so I googled and found my way here. Wooohoo! Thanks!

Hi catina;

Welcome to the forum!

Ok this worksheet has once again reared its ugly head 6 years later. I can't say my 7 year old or myself would ever have gotten these answers on our own.
Did anyone ever hand the homework in and get different responses back???
My daughter was not even taught was a polygon is yet.
This is 2nd grade math? I'm doomed LOL

bobbym · 2012-04-25 08:33:09

Hi lovemigirlz3;

Welcome to the forum! You are not doomed. You have not even met me yet, no one gets away from that.

lovemigirlz3 · 2012-04-25 08:36:25

Are those really the correct answers? The ones posted in #22?

bobbym · 2012-04-25 08:40:06

Hi;

Good point.

I can not say. I have never seen the sheet they are talking about.

What is important is that the answers given right or wrong can provide useful clues as to what the correct answer is. I am sure that you have had the experience of being told something and then knowing it was correct.
Do you like the answers given? Do they have the ring of truth to them? Sometimes a wrong answer is more valuable than a right one.

Bob · 2012-04-25 08:55:02

hi lovemigirlz3

Welcome to the forum!

Many posts ago I said I don't think there is one 'right' answer. The pupil is just expected to think about common features and come up with some rules that classify the shapes into sets. The worksheet has changed over the years as well, so the post 22 answer may no longer work.

Describe your shapes and I'll give my opinion (I have never seen the worksheet either). It probably breaks copyright so obviously I'm not suggesting that someone scan it and post it here.

The questions are exactly how they were described back in 2005. I find this very comical. I'm waiting to see how her homework comes back tomorrow afternoon. I will be happy to post the document if allowed.

bobbym · 2012-04-25 19:26:21

Hi;

If you are allowed then post it. But do not do anything that is against a copyright.

At least post how her answers did.

Bob · 2012-04-25 19:45:57

To avoid copyright problems maybe you could make your own, similar shapes.

OMG! I've spent the last hour on the internet trying to find classifications of shapes that fit what's on this annoying worksheet! Thank God for post #22!!!
