Essential Vocabulary

 * ===compose, shape, rotate, flip ===

Sample Assessments

 * compose two or more shapes to make a new shape
 * compose several shapes to create a predetermined design or picture

Differentiation

 * Math Stations
 * Small group Instruction

Intervention:

 * complete pattern cards with pattern blocks
 * give students one parallelogram pattern block and ask how many triangle blocks they will need to make the first shape

Enrichment:

 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">students will build a specific object (flower, car) using pattern blocks and or tangrams
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">students will compose and describe a new shape

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Notes and Additional Information
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This standard moves beyond identifying and classifying simple shapes to manipulating two or more shapes to <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">create a new shape. This concept begins to develop as students move, rotate, flip, and arrange puzzle pieces to <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">complete a puzzle. Kindergarteners use their experiences with puzzles to use simple shapes to create different <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">shapes. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For example, when using basic shapes to create a picture, a student flips and turns triangles to make a rectangular <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">house.
