Task 4: Mathematics Learning Segment Overview

Learning Segment Overview Directions: Briefly describe the instruction preceding the assessment by typing within the
brackets in each section of the chart below (no more than 2 single-spaced pages). Do not delete or alter the chart; both the
chart and your description are included in the total page count allowed. Refer to the evidence chart in the handbook to ensure
that this document complies with all format specifications. Pages exceeding the maximum will not be scored.

Central Focus: State-Adopted Content Standards

[Students will be able to identify,
describe, and classify polygons
and their attributes.]
[MGSE3.G.1 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.]
