1.G.1 Time Assessed: 4th 9 Weeks
Distinguish between defining and non-defining attributes of common shapes.
Activities to do at home to practice without technology:
Shape Hunt: Go on a shape hunt and find objects in your house that are different shapes. Have the student sort the shapes based off different attributes. Ask them to tell you how they sorted the shape. Prompt questions about the 2d and 3d shapes based off the images above. Ask about the sides, edges, corners, vertices, faces, and 2D or 3D. These are defining attributes. Ask about the size, color, pattern, use. These are non defining attributes.
I Spy: Cut out shapes and gather 3d Shapes. Play the game of I Spy by calling out the attributes and having the student guess the shape. Take turns and have them describe the shape to you.
Toothpick 2Ds: Build 2D shapes using toothpicks.
3D PlayDoh: Build all 3D shapes using playdoh or toothpicks and marshmallows.

How is this skill assessed?
There are a total of 15 questions on this assessment.
The students will be given 3 2D shapes and will have to tell how many corners and straight sides.
The students will have to circle all the closed figures out of the open/closed figures given.
The students will be given 3 3D shapes and will have to tell how many corners and flat sides.
The student will have to draw a 2D shape.
The student will be given a few pictures of the same shape copied as different sizes and colors and will have to determine what is the same about the shape and what is different about the shape.
The students will have to describe 2D shapes to the teacher using defining attributes.
The students will have to describe 3D shapes to the teacher using defining attributes.
The students will have to make the given 2D shape out of toothpicks.
The students will have to make the given 3D shape out of Playdoh.
1.G.2 Time Assessed: 4th 9 Weeks
Compose two-dimensional shapes (rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-circles, and quarter-circles) or three-dimensional shapes (cubes, right rectangular prisms, right circular cones, and right circular cylinders) to create a composite shape, and compose new shapes from the composite shape.
Activities to do at home not using technology:
Give your child several smaller shape pattern blocks or even shape cut outs. Put those various smaller shapes together to create different/larger shapes.

Practice Quiz with a video explaining, if needed.
Use the Digital Pattern Blocks to form new shapes like in the image to the right.
Very detailed explanation of how this is assessed:
-Students will be shown an outline of a shape. They will be given smaller pattern block shapes and be asked to put the pattern blocks together to create the shape outline shown.
-Students will be asked to decompose or break apart larger shapes into smaller shapes. For example, if given a hexagon, the student will be asked to tell how many triangles they used to make up that hexagon.
-Students will be shown a picture of a composite shape made up of several 3D shapes. The students will have to identify which 3D shapes were used to create the composite shape.
1.G.3 Time Assessed: 4th 9 Weeks
Partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, fourths, and quarters, and use the phrases half of, fourth of, and quarter of. Describe the whole as two of, or four of the shares. Understand for these examples that decomposing into more equal shares creates smaller shares.
Activities to do at home not using technology:
Find objects in your house that are shaped like circles (ex: plate), rectangle (ex: shoe box, cards, paper towel), and squares (ex: tissue, piece of paper) and draw to divide into halves and/or fourths
