Learning Standards by Strand

Geometry
for Grades Pre K - K

cross symbol Analyze characteristics and properties of two- and three-dimensional geometric shapes and develop mathematical arguments about geometric relationships
solid circle symbol Specify locations and describe spatial relationships using coordinate geometry and other representational systems
solid triangle symbol Apply transformations and use symmetry to analyze mathematical situations
solid square symbol Use visualization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to solve problems

Learning Standards

Students engage in problem solving, communicating, reasoning, connecting, and representing as they:

K.G.1 Name, describe, sort, and draw simple two-dimensional shapes. cross symbol
K.G.2 Describe attributes of two-dimensional shapes, e.g., number of sides, number of corners. cross symbol
K.G.3 Name and compare three-dimensional shapes. cross symbol
K.G.4 Identify positions of objects in space, and use appropriate language (e.g., beside, inside, next to, close to, above, below, apart) to describe and compare their relative positions. solid circle symbol

 

Exploratory Concepts and Skills

  • Investigate symmetry of two- and three-dimensional shapes and constructions.
