Disney’s Color and Play App allows students to color their favorite Disney characters and animate them or make them

This resource is aligned to a Kindergarten math standard, as NC does not have a SCOS for K-5 STEM.

In this Khan Academy interactive, students will compose larger shapes from simple shapes.

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.

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 parent guide supports parents in helping their child at home with the Kindergarten Math content.

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 activity, students make hexagons from pattern blocks by mixing and matching correct combinations.

In this assessment task students use pattern blocks to make the hexagons outlined on workmats. They are asked to make the shape in different ways. Teachers can observe students using slides, flips and turns as they make the shapes. The assessment workmat and a rubric are provided.

In this assessmemt, students make sailboats by mixing and matching appropriate shapes on a work mat.

In this assessment task students are asked to use pattern blocks to make sailboats that are on a workmat. They are asked to show different ways to fill the same shape for example a student may use one trapezoid and three triangles to create the shape. The teacher will be able to observe whether a student uses flips, slides or turns purposefully. The workmat and rubric are provided.

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 4.

For this activity, students use pattern blocks to make an animal and trace around the blocks. Students draw the animal to match the pattern blocks, counting and recording how many of each type of shape they used. Students tell the number of blocks they used in all.

The NC Office of Early Learning strongly encourages incorporating play into the daily routine of each classroom.
Children grow and learn in all developmental domains through their engagement in centers; cognitive, physical, social, and emotional. Authentic learning and meaningful connections are made when a teacher intentionally weaves standards and supports development throughout children’s play. PlaytoLearn Center Posters provide information about common areas of development supported during play centers along with prompts connected to kindergarten standards and NC ELI dimensions.

PlaytoLearn Planning Guides (also shared on #GoOpenNC) provide information on why each center is important to children's development, tips for setting up centers, sugessted materials, actions of an intentional teacher, and common connections children make to content. Although these resources are specifically written for kindergarten, teaching and learning strategies can be applied to many grade levels.

This lesson is for grades PreK-K on math. At Home Learning Lessons are a partnership between the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, PBS North Carolina, and the William and Ida Friday Institute for Educational Innovation. Each lesson contains a video instructional lesson, a PDF lesson plan with a transcript, and a PDF file of extension activities.

This puzzle activity will help students identify and create simple geometric shapes. It will also improve "positional words" such as left, right, top and bottom.

Students will learn about 2D and 3D shapes.  They will use various materials to build shapes, find shapes in stories and at school, and build pictures with shapes.
