Unit 6: 3.6A, 3.6B
3.6A – Classify and sort two- and three-dimensional solids, including
cones, cylinders, spheres, triangular and rectangular prisms, and
cubes, based on atributes using formal geometric language.

3.6B – Use atributes to recognize rhombuses, parallelograms, 1 - 12

trapezoids, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals and
draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these
subcategories.
