options: Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.

Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.

Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.

Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.

Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.

Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.

Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.

Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.

Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.

Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.

Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to participate in a gallery walk in which they see a variety of ways the flat shapes have been sorted. Student discuss with their partner what they notice about how their classmates sorted the shapes (MP3).
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Materials from a previous activity
Required Preparation
Display each group's work from the previous activity.
Launch
Groups of 2
“We are going to do a gallery walk to look at different ways we have sorted the flat shapes. Talk with your partner about what you notice about the work. See if you can tell how they sorted the shapes. Record how they sorted in your book.”
Activity
3 minutes: partner work time
“Now we will all move so we can see how a different group sorted the shapes.”
3 minutes: partner work time
Repeat as time permits.
Student Facing
Group 1: They sorted
Group 2: They sorted

Activity Synthesis
“In what different ways did we sort the shapes?”
As each different way is mentioned, ask the group that sorted in that way to explain how they decided which shapes belonged in each category.
