For each pair of shapes, identify which one has the greater number of vertices
Home / 5th grade / Shapes / Properties of 2-D shapes / Most vertices
Regular 2D geometric shapes apart from the ovals have a certain number of vertices that are part of their definitions. The vertices of a shape are the points where two or more line segments meet or intersect. In other words, a vertex is a corner or point where the edges of a shape come together. You can easily count the number of vertices a certain shape has.
All quadrilaterals (shapes with 4 sides) have 4 vertices. So squares, rectangles, kites, rhombuses, parallelograms, trapezoids all have 4 vertices.
Triangle: All triangles have 3 vertices.
Pentagon: A pentagon has five vertices (each corner is a vertex). Additional sides mean additional vertices, so hexagons have 6 vertices, heptagons have 7 and so on.
In this topic you are given diagrams of pairs of shapes and must decide which of the shapes has more vertices. The shapes include square, rectangle, other quadrialaterals (kite, rhombus, trapezoid, etc.), various types of triangle, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, etc.
Below is a table showing the first 6 question answer pairs for the topic "Most vertices" as used in the lessons for this topic. Our games and tests for the topic use these 6 items plus 10 additional question answer pairs.
The topic "Most vertices" is in the category Shapes for 5th grade (ages 10 to 11).
