Use spatial language (e.g., above, below, etc.) to describe three-dimensional shapes.

Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Using 2 dimensional shapes, place one object above or below the other object and then describe the position using spatial language.
Representation:
  • Understand the following concepts and vocabulary for spatial language: above, below, beside, next to, etc.
  • Given a picture of two objects, use positional words (e.g., above, below) to describe their orientation.

Number: MAFS.K.G.2.AP.4b Category: Access Points
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.
