Geometry
K.G Identify and describe shapes (squares, circles, triangles, rectangles, hexagons, cubes, cones, cylinders, and
spheres).
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.
2. Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.
3. Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-dimensional (“solid”).
K.G Analyze, compare, create, and compose shapes.
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).

Stage 3: Learning Plan
Learning Activities Reflections

Intro: Chapter game • They love to stack, roll and slide the different
shapes
Daily Lessons 10.1 - 10.10 • It is neat to see how creative they can become with
shapes and the different things they can build.
Using 3D shapes that show how they roll, stack, and slide • Review all shapes at beginning of daily math block
with 3D Shapes music video
Hands on and interactive activities

Lots of small groups for them to manipulate the shapes
