Compose a larger shape from smaller shapes.

Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Given two-dimensional concrete shapes, put them together to form a larger shape.
Representation:
  • Understand that a larger shape can be composed of smaller shapes (ex: two smaller triangles can create a larger rectangle).

Number: MAFS.K.G.2.AP.6a Category: Access Points
Date Adopted or Revised: 06/14 Cluster: Analyze, compare, create, and compose shapes. (Supporting Cluster)

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.
