In this lesson, the students will use the Bee Bot on a map with 2D shapes and program the Bee Bot to move to and identify the 2D shapes based on their attributes. The students will review 2D shapes and their attributes, and learn how to use a Bee Bot. The students will be paired into a group of 3 or 4 depending on your class size. Each group will be given a mat with images of 2D shapes and task cards. The shapes have different colors and sizes. The task cards will provide visual tasks for the students. The students will take turns pulling a task card and program the bot to move to the shape that is on the card. The students will start on the first shape on the card and move to the bottom shape. This lesson may be split into two sessions if necessary.

Students help Peg identify shapes and create a spaceship using different shapes. Picture guides are provided to assist students throughout the interactive.

This file contains a set of 6 lessons to be used during the first week(s) of school to develop students' mathematical mindsets. Lessons include:
Lesson 1: What is Math?
Lesson 2: Mathematicians Work Together
Lesson 3: Mathematicians Cooperate
Lesson 4: Mathematicians Ask Questions
Lesson 5: Mathematicians Learn from Mistakes
Lesson 6: Mathematicians Persevere

In this assessment students are asked to compare 2-D and 3-D shapes. Students will be given a rectangle and a cube. Students are asked whether the shapes are 2-D or 3-D and whether they are flat or solid. Students will use a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast the attributes of the shapes. An assessment sheet and rubric are provided.

In this interactive, students practice identifying flat and solid shapes. This can also be used as a class review activity.

Students will be given a list of Geometric Terms and a value for each. They will work with a partner to search around the school for these items. They will write a sentence for each one.  This lesson was developed by NCDPI as part of the Academically and/or Intellectually Gifted Instructional Resources Project. This lesson plan has been vetted at the state level for standards alignment, AIG focus, and content accuracy.

Students help our school's PTA decorate for the upcoming Harvest Festival. The student's responsibility is to design and create a decoration that will enhance the theme of the Harvest Festival. Students learn about 2-D and 3-D shapes in the classroom. Then they use their knowledge to create a decoration of their own to share with the community.

This is a task assessment to assess students' understading of K.G.2 and K.G.3. An activity page and rubric are included with this resource.

In this assessment students will identify and describe shapes. Teachers will hand out the assessment task and point to figures from left to right. Students will identify the shapes they see in the picture. They will determine whether the shapes are 2-D flat or 3-D solid. Teachers will assess one on one. An I Spy Shape assessment task sheet recording sheet and rubric are provided.

Lesson plan using a Cyberchase activity where students learn about two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Students watch a video clip and then identify the shapes that they see in the clip. In Assessment A, students are asked to identify shapes. In Assessment B, they have the opportunity to create a three-dimensional shape from a cutout.

This interactive allows students to play against another student from anywhere in the world to race against one another while practicing shape recognition.

This parent guide supports parents in helping their child at home with the Kindergarten Math content.Within the folder you will access Parent Guide PDFs in FIVE Languages: Arabic, English, Hindi, Spanish, and Vietnamese to help on-going communication with caregivers. 

This resource accompanies our Rethink Kindergarten Math Geometry unit. It includes ideas for use, ways to support exceptional children, ways to extend learning, digital resources and tools, tips for supporting English Language Learners and students with visual and hearing impairments. There are also ideas for offline learning. 

This unit was created by the Rethink Education Content Development Team. This course is aligned to the NC Standards for Kindergarten Math.

In this lesson, students will explain decisions about classification of solid shapes into categories and name the solid shapes.

In this video segment from Cyberchase, Bianca helps her friend make rock candy and discovers some interesting shapes. They also visit The Museum of and look at a variety of rocks and minerals, identifying and describing the many 2-D and 3-D shapes that are found in these specimens. Teaching tips are also provided that discuss frame, focus and follow-up suggestions for using this video in a math lesson.

This is the About the Cluster document written by the NC2ML group who created the instructional frameworks. This is a great resource to read while starting to plan for Kindergarten Cluster 2.

In this assessment task students will identify and name a shape. The teacher will set up a Triangle Circle Cube Square Cone Rectangle Sphere and Hexagon going from left to right. Students are asked to name the shape and to tell whether it is a 2-D/flat or 3-D/solid shape.

This resource is as an assessment or task to assess students' ability to correctly name shapes regardless of their size or orientations and their ability to recognize shapes as two-dimensional or three-dimensional.
