Essential Understandings
Concrete:
- Use manipulatives (e.g., 1 inch cubes, linking/stacking cubes) to build and increase or decrease the size of figures.
- Use graph paper to trace a figure.
- Recognize how the space inside a figure increases when the sides are lengthened (e.g., Given a rectangle with sides that measure 4 inches and 2 inches, the space inside the figure increases when the sides change to 5 inches and 6 inches).
- Identify the length and width of a figure.
- Identify the dimensions of a figure.
- Given a picture, identify dimensions needed to calculate area.
- Enter dimensions into a formula.
- Understand the following concepts and vocabulary: similar, area, length, width, square, rectangle.
- Use manipulatives or apply formulas to find length and area.

Cluster:
Draw, construct, and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them. (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. |
