What We Are Learning Quarter 3
1MA.C.4 identify and compose shapes, analyze the attributes of shapes, and relate their parts to the whole (1.GSR.4)
4.a identify common two-dimensional shapes (e.g., rectangles, squares, rhombuses, triangles, trapezoids, hexagons, circles, half-circles, quarter-circles) and three-dimensional figures (e.g., cubes, rectangular prisms, cones, spheres, cylinders); sort and classify them by their attributes; build and draw shapes that possess defining attributes (1.GSR.4.1)
4.b compose two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional figures to create a shape formed of two or more common shapes and compose new shapes from the composite shape (1.GSR.4.2)
4.c partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal shares; justify reasoning about the relationship of parts to the whole (1.GSR.4.3)
1MA.E.6 use appropriate tools to measure, order, and compare intervals of length and time, as well as denominations of money to solve real-life, mathematical problems and analyze graphical displays of data to answer relevant questions (1.MDR.6)
6.d ask questions and answer them based on gathered information, observations, and appropriate graphical displays to compare and order whole numbers (e.g., picture graphs, bar graphs with up to 3 categories) (1.MDR.6.4)

Shape Hunt Around the House
Look for shapes in doors (rectangles), clocks (circles), cereal boxes (rectangular prisms), cans (cylinders), balls (spheres), or ice cream cones (cones).
Talk about attributes: number of sides, corners, flat faces, curved surface
Sort and Classify Shapes
Use toys, blocks, or paper cutouts to sort shapes by:
Number of sides
Flat vs. curved
2D vs. 3D
Ask questions like: “Why did you put these together?”
Build and Draw Shapes
Build shapes using toothpicks and marshmallows, straws and clay, or blocks.
Draw shapes and label their attributes (sides, corners).
4.b Composing and Decomposing Shapes (1.GSR.4.2)
Create New Shapes
Use pattern blocks, tangrams, or paper shapes to combine two or more shapes into a new one.
Example: “What shapes make a house?”
Break Apart Shapes
Show how a rectangle can be made from two squares or how triangles can form a larger shape.
Ask: “What shapes do you see inside this shape?”
Art with Shapes
Make pictures using only shapes (robots, animals, buildings).
Talk about which shapes were used and how they fit together.
4.c Partitioning Shapes into Equal Parts (1.GSR.4.3)
4.c Partitioning Shapes into Equal Parts (1.GSR.4.3)
Food Fractions
Cut sandwiches, pizza, or fruit into halves and fourths.
Ask: “Are these pieces equal? How do you know?”
Paper Folding
Fold circles and rectangles into 2 or 4 equal parts.
Color each part to show how parts make a whole.
Everyday Conversations
Use words like half, fourth, equal shares, whole.
Ask children to explain their thinking.
1MA.E.6 – Measurement, Data, and Graphs (1.MDR.6)
6.d Asking and Answering Questions Using Graphs (1.MDR.6.4)
6.d Asking and Answering Questions Using Graphs (1.MDR.6.4)
Create Simple Graphs
Graph favorite fruits, pets, or colors using drawings or objects.
Limit to 2–3 categories.
Ask Questions About the Graph
“Which has the most?”
“Which has the fewest?”
“How many more chose apples than bananas?”
Collect Real-Life Data
Track daily weather, bedtime routines, or chores completed.
Turn the information into a picture or bar graph.
Compare and Order Numbers
Use the graph to talk about more, less, equal, and ordering numbers.
