Analyze & Create Shapes

Kindergarten

Alabama Course of Study Standards: 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.
Example: having sides of equal length

Arkansas Academic Standards: K.G.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)

Note: 2-D shapes: squares, circles, triangles, rectangles, and hexagons
3-D shapes: cube, cone, cylinder, and sphere

Arizona - K-12 Academic Standards: K.G.4

Model shapes in the world by:
  • Building and drawing triangles, rectangles, squares, hexagons, circles.
  • Building cubes, cones, spheres, and cylinders.

New York State Next Generation Learning Standards: K.G.5

Model objects in their environment by building and/or drawing shapes.
e.g., using blocks to build a simple representation in the classroom.
Note on and/or: Students should be taught to model objects by building and drawing shapes; however, when answering a question, students can choose to model the object by building or drawing the shape
