Mathematics | Grade : K

Domain - Geometry

Cluster - Identify and describe shapes (squares, circles, triangles, rectangles, hexagons, cubes, cones, cylinders, and spheres).

[K.G.A.1] - Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to.

    Predecessor Standards:

    • PK.G.A.2
      Identify various two-dimensional shapes using appropriate language.
    • PK.G.B.3
      Create and represent three-dimensional shapes (ball/sphere, square box/cube, tube/cylinder) using various manipulative materials (such as Popsicle sticks, blocks, pipe cleaners, pattern blocks).

    Successor Standards:

    • 1.ESS.1.1
      Use observations of the Sun, Moon, and stars to describe that each appears to rise in one part of the sky, appears to move across the sky, and appears to set.
    • 1.PS.4.1
      Demonstrate that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate. Clarification Statements: Examples of vibrating materials that make sound could include tuning forks, a stretched string or rubber band, and a drum head; Examples of how sound can make materials vibrate could include holding a piece of paper near a speaker making sound and holding an object near a vibrating tuning fork.
    • 1.PS.4.3
      Conduct an investigation to determine the effect of placing materials that allow light to pass through them, allow only some light through them, block all the light, or redirect light when put in the path of a beam of light. Clarification Statements: Effects can include some or all light passing through, creation of a shadow, and redirecting light; Quantitative measures are not expected.
    • 1.PS.4.4
      Use tools and materials to design and build a device that uses light or sound to send a signal over a distance.* Clarification Statements: Examples of devices could include a light source to send signals, paper cup and string “telephones,” and a pattern of drum beats; Technological details for how communication devices work are not expected.

    Same Level Standards:

    • K.G.A.2
      Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.
    • K.G.A.3
      Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, "flat") or three-dimensional ("solid").
    • K.G.B.4
      Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/"corners") and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length).
    • K.G.B.5
      Model shapes in the world by building shapes from components (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes.
    • K.G.B.6
      Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes. For example, "Can you join these two triangles with full sides touching to make a rectangle?"
    • K.PS.3.2
      Use tools and materials to design and build a model of a structure that will reduce the warming effect of sunlight on an area.
