In this assessment task students will use clay to build three dimensional shapes and describe the defining attributes. An assessment task sheet and rubric are provided.

In this assessment task students will create shapes using a Geoboard. An assessment task sheet, a rubric and a student checklist are provided.

In this lesson, students will explore angles, rays, line segments, perpendicular lines, parallel lines, and two-dimensional figures through the use of the book “Shape Up! Fun with Triangles and Other Polygons” by David A. Adler. They will also classify quadrilaterals through an interactive website.

Students to explore various geometric solids and their properties in this student interactive, from Illuminations. Students can virtually manipulate and color each solid to investigate properties such as the number of faces, edges, and vertices. Students can explore tetrahedrons, cubes, octahedrons, dodecahedrons, icosahedrons, and irregular polyhedrons by toggling between solid and net to see different views of the selected shape.

Students will be able to identify polygons or shapes in the world around them and use those polygons to build origamis. Students will reinforce their understanding and play a geometric computer game when they have finished.

In the assessment task students will identify and draw two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes by using descriptions. Students are told they are being detectives to solve mystery shapes. They will need to use the clues on their worksheets to identify the shapes and draw the shape as further evidence of knowing. An assessment task sheet and rubric are provided.

In this interactive math game, students will find the different type of quadrilaterals for each level of play. They will find quadrilaterals, parallelograms, square, rectangles, rhombus, and trapezoids.

After reading the story, The Silly Story of Goldilocks and the Three Squares, students identify and describe shapes in a variety of orientations.

Prior to this lesson, students should have worked with two-dimensional shapes. Additionally, they should have been introduced to three-dimensional shapes and their attributes with the lesson "Guess My Shape".

In this lesson, students will use a variety of materials to build shapes and use math vocabulary to explain their shape.

This packet contains exit tickets for the Kindergarten, Cluster 4 geometry standards. Exit tickets are written responses to questions posed at the end of a lesson. They are brief assessments which allow the teacher to determine student understanding of the concepts and skills taught that day. At the Kindergarten level, a blank copy of the exit ticket should be displayed on the board and read aloud to students. As teacher reads, students work independently on their own copy of the exit ticket.

In this task, students identify shapes, describe attributes of shapes, and compare a two-dimensional and three-dimensional shape. This task may be used for instructional or assessment purposes.

The goal of this lesson is for students to understand that plane figures are different from solid figures. Students will identify and locate the face of a solid figure that matches a plane figure, such as the face of a cube is a square, the base of a triangular based pyramid is a triangle.

In this lesson, students will create and name given shapes. They will use precise mathematical vocabulary describe shapes to partner with enough details for the partner to recreate it accurately.

In this task, students are shown a series of objects, and asked to describe their measurable attributes. The task may be used for instruction or as formative assessment. A rubric is provided in order to determine the students current level of understanding.

In this lesson, students create a "train" (or row) of shapes. Each shape in the row must have one attribute in common with the shapes on either side.

In this lesson, students build three-dimensional representations of shapes. They discuss attributes of their shapes, and predict if their shapes will roll, slide, or both.

Kindergartners need lots of opportunities to explore, investigate and to discuss the different properties of both two and three dimensional shapes. As students learn more geometric content, they will begin to be more sophisticated in their ways of thinking.
