Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes. For example, “Can you join these two triangles with full sides touching to make a rectangle?”


General Information

Subject Area: Mathematics
Grade: K
Domain-Subdomain: Geometry
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.

Formative Assessments

Name Description
Compose a Rectangle

Students join two right triangles together to compose a rectangle.

Compose a Hexagon

Students use triangles to compose a hexagon.

Can You Make a Rectangle?

Students are asked to make a rectangle using only squares.

Compose a Square

Lesson Plan

Name Description
ShapeBot

In this hands-on lesson, students will be challenged to demonstrate their understanding of shapes to combine smaller two-dimensional shapes to form larger composite shapes. The lesson culminates with students using triangles, rectangles, and squares to form a "robot".
