Geometry

MKG1 Students will correctly name simple two and three-dimensional figures, and recognize them in the environment.
a. Recognize and name the following basic two-dimensional shapes: triangles, rectangles, squares, and circles.
b. Recognize and name the following three-dimensional shapes: spheres (balls) and cubes.
c. Observe concrete objects in the environment and represent the objects using basic shapes, such as drawing a representation of a house using a square together with a triangle for the roof.
d. Combine basic shapes into basic and more complicated shapes, and decompose basic shapes into combinations of basic shapes.
e. Compare geometric shapes and identify similarities and differences of the following two and three-dimensional shapes: triangles, rectangles, squares, circles, spheres, and cubes.
MKG2 Students will understand basic positional relationships.
a. Identify when an object is beside another object, above another object, or below another object.
b. Identify when an object is in front of another object, behind another object, inside another object, or outside it.
MKG3 Students will identify, create, extend, and transfer patterns from one representation to another using actions, objects, and geometric shapes.
a. Identify a missing shape within a given pattern of geometric shapes.
b. Extend a given pattern, and recognize similarities in different patterns.
