Subject Area

Mathematics

Grade(s)

K, 1

Overview

Using shapes and patterns this activity morphs 2D shapes into 3D forms. This four page, printable exercise is designed to be completed independently and requires scissors and glue or tape.

Mathematics (2019) Grade(s): KG

MA19.K.20

Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, flat“) or three-dimensional (“solid”).“

UP:MA19.K.20

Vocabulary

  • Two dimensional
  • Three dimensional

Knowledge

Students know:
  • Characteristics of 2D and 3D shapes.

Skills

Students are able to:
  • Use geometric reasoning and visual characteristics of shapes to designate shapes as 2D or 3D.

Understanding

Students understand that:
  • geometrics shapes can be grouped into classes of 2D or 3D shapes based on their physical characteristics.
Mathematics (2019) Grade(s): KG

MA19.K.21

Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (number of sides and vertices or corners“) and other attributes.“

UP:MA19.K.21

Vocabulary

  • Attributes

Knowledge

Students know:
  • attributes of shapes (sides, corners, vertices, faces, edges, etc.).
  • Informal language to describe these components.

Skills

Students are able to:
  • Use geometric reasoning and attributes to compare and contrast a variety of shapes.

Understanding

Students understand that:
  • geometric shapes can be grouped into classes of shapes that all seem to be alike based on their visual characteristics.
Mathematics (2019) Grade(s): 1

MA19.1.22

Compose two-dimensional shapes (rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-circles, and quarter-circles) or three-dimensional shapes (cubes, right rectangular prisms, right circular cones, and right circular cylinders) to create a composite shape, and compose new shapes from the composite shape.

UP:MA19.1.7

Vocabulary

  • Equation
  • Meaning of the equal sign

Knowledge

Students know:
  • strategies for finding the value of simple addition and subtraction equations.
  • Strategies for comparing quantities between 0 and 20.
  • Strategies to show equality or inequality.

Skills

Students are able to:
  • efficiently apply strategies for determining the value of simple addition and subtraction equations.
  • Justify and explain their thinking.

Understanding

Students understand that:
  • the equal sign represents a relationship of balance between numerical expressions rather than performing an operation.
