Recognize two-dimensional shapes in environment, regardless or orientation or size.
Clarifications:
Essential Understandings
Concrete:
- Identify shapes, in a variety of sizes and orientation, within their environment (e.g., triangle, rectangle, square, circle).
- Demonstrate the understanding of classes of shapes by categorizing shapes of different sizes within their environment.
- Use objects within the environment 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).
- Using visual representations (Ex: photograph), locate shapes within that visual.
- Understand the following concepts and vocabulary for shapes (e.g., sides, corners, square, circle, rectangle, triangle).

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.
