options: Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right triangles as a category, and identify right triangles.

Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures.

Recognize a line of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure as a line across the figure such that the figure can be folded along the line into matching parts. Identify line-symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry.
problem_activity: Narrative
This warm-up prompts students to carefully analyze and compare attributes of two-dimensional figures with attention to the number of sides, symmetry, and presence of parallel and perpendicular lines. The activity enables the teacher to observe the attributes that students notice intuitively and hear the terminologies they feel comfortable using.

Activity Synthesis
If no students mention parallel sides as an attribute to consider, ask them about it.
Consider asking: “Let’s find at least one reason why each one doesn’t belong.”
