Class 5 Maths - RAJASTHAN
Shapes and Patterns
In the Class 5 Rajasthan Board (RBSE) Mathematics chapter 'Shapes and Patterns', students explore the fascinating world of 2D and 3D shapes, lines of symmetry, and how designs repeat in a logical order. Learners will identify open and closed figures, understand the properties of basic geometric shapes like squares, rectangles, triangles, and circles, and create or extend number and shape patterns. This chapter is essential for building a strong foundation in geometry and logical reasoning, which frequently appears in board exam question papers through drawing tasks, pattern completion, and multiple-choice questions.

Open and Closed Figures
An open figure does not start and end at the same point, while a closed figure starts and ends at the exact same point, completely enclosing a space.
Line of Symmetry
A line of symmetry is an imaginary line that divides a shape into two identical halves that match up perfectly when folded.
Tessellation (Tilings)
Tessellation is the art of covering a flat surface using one or more geometric shapes with no overlaps and no gaps.
Number and Shape Patterns
A pattern is a repeating sequence of shapes, designs, or numbers that follow a specific rule to tell what comes next.
Basic 2D Shapes and Properties
2D shapes like rectangles and squares have specific numbers of sides and corners (vertices) that define their structure.

Board Exam Info
In the Rajasthan (RBSE) Class 5 Mathematics examination, this chapter usually carries around 5 to 8 marks. Common question types include completing a given visual pattern, drawing lines of symmetry for various shapes, identifying open and closed figures, and calculating the perimeter of simple 2D shapes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an open figure and a closed figure?
An open figure has separate ends that do not meet, whereas a closed figure has its starting and ending points joined together to form a complete loop.
How do I find the line of symmetry in a shape?
Imagine folding the shape along a straight line; if both halves fit over each other exactly without any overlapping edges, that line is a line of symmetry.
How do I solve number pattern questions in the exam?
First, find the difference or relationship between the first few consecutive numbers in the series to discover the rule, then apply that rule to find the missing numbers.
