Clarifications:
Essential Understandings
Concrete:
- Use models and manipulatives to show properties of plane figures (i.e., two-dimensional figures).
- Sort shapes by a single attribute (e.g., shapes that have 3 sides vs. shapes that have 4 sides; shapes that have straight edges vs. shapes that have curved edges).
- Understand the following vocabulary and concepts of plane figure properties: simple plane figure (i.e., rectangle, square, trapezoid, triangle, rhombus, octagon, pentagon, hexagon), angles, sides, lines, vertices, edges, curve, and straight.
- Use two-dimensional shapes to point out properties of plane figures (find a right angle in this figure).

Cluster:
Classify two-dimensional figures into categories based on their properties. (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. |
