In each set of shapes, there is one shape that doesn’t belong.

Cross out that shape and tell why it

doesn’t belong. (There may be more than one possible reason. What’s important is having a good
reason for crossing out a shape.)

1.

Reason: I chose the first shape because it is the only shape that has one pair of congruent opposite
sides while the others have 2 pairs or more of 2 pairs of opposite congruent sides.

2.

Reason: I chose the third shape because it is the only shape that is not a closed figure.

3.

Reason: I chose the second shape because neither of its opposite sides are congruent.

4.

Reason: I chose the fourth shape because it is not a parallelogram while others in the group are. I also
crossed it because it is not a quadrilateral while the rest of the group is a quadrilateral.
