The highlighted evidence outcomes are the priority for all students, serving as the essential concepts and skills. It is recommended that the remaining evidence outcomes listed be addressed as time allows, representing the full breadth of the curriculum.
Students Can (Evidence Outcomes):
K.G.B. Geometry: Analyze, compare, create, and compose shapes.
Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/“corners”) and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length). (CCSS: K.G.B.4)
Model shapes in the world by building shapes from components (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes. (CCSS: K.G.B.5)
Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes. For example, “Can you join these two triangles with full sides touching to make a rectangle?” (CCSS: K.G.B.6)
Use experiences with multiple examples of a type of shape to develop a concept image (see glossary) of that shape from which they can abstract common features. (MP2)
Model shapes in the world by building them with components or drawing representations of them. (MP4)
Use patterns or structures when making comparisons or compositions of shapes. (MP7)
Inquiry Questions
Can you change a shape into a different kind of shape by rotating it?
What kinds of pictures can you make by combining shapes?
Coherence Connections
This expectation is in addition to the major work of the grade.
In preschool, students understand and use language related to directionality, order, and the position of objects, such as up/down and in front/behind.
In kindergarten, this expectation connects with identifying and describing shapes (squares, circles, triangles, rectangles, hexagons, cubes, cones, cylinders, and spheres).
In Grade 1, students classify, compose, and partition shapes.
Academic Vocabulary & Language Expectations:
Roll, slide, stack, flat surface
