Recognize two-dimensional shapes (e.g., circle, square, triangle, rectangle), regardless of orientation or size.
Clarifications:
Essential Understandings
Concrete:
- Use manipulatives, in a variety of sizes and orientation, to identify shapes (e.g., triangle, rectangle, square, circle).
- Demonstrate the understanding of classes of shapes by matching or categorizing shapes that are the same shape but are different sizes (e.g., match circles even though they are different sizes).
- Use manipulatives to demonstrate that shapes remain the same shape regardless if they are rotated. (Ex: a square is still a square even if it is rotated).
- Use visual representations of shapes in a variety of sizes and orientation, to identify shapes (e.g., triangle, rectangle, square, circle)

Cluster:
Identify and describe shapes (squares, circles, triangles, rectangles, hexagons, cubes, cones, cylinders, and spheres). (Additional 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. |
