1G-1) Make a shape with sides. Draw an apple inside the shape. Put three black dots in the middle of the apple.
Expectations & Examples of Geometry from the 2008 Math Standards Revisions (draft) - Grade 1
Compare and sort a variety of two- and three-dimensional figures according to their geometric attributes. The student may sort a collection of two-dimensional figures into those that have straight sides and those that do not. This type of sorting differs from the color, size, and texture sorting commonly done in kindergarten. Identify and name circles, triangles, rectangles, squares (as special rectangles), rhombi, hexagons, trapezoids, rectangular prisms (including cubes as special rectangular prisms), cones, cylinders, and pyramids—regardless of size or orientation—and find these figures in a variety of real world contexts. Examples might include classroom clock, American flag, tissue box, birthday party hat, can of vegetables. Compose and decompose common two-dimensional figures and analyze the results. Trace objects or use a drawing program to show different ways that a rectangle can be divided into three triangles. Example:

Examples of Geometric Sense from the 2006 GLEs – Grade 1
Describe 2 dimensional figures based on their properties such as number of sides, or number of equal sides. Describe figures using mathematical language including square, rectangle, and/or triangle. Sort 2 dimensional figures based on their properties. Tell whether a point is right or left, or above or below a benchmark number up to 100 on a horizontal or vertical number line. Describe the location of a given point between 1 and 100 on a number line. Locate a point up to 100 on a positive number line. |
