Integrated Standards
- 2ND GRADE MATH STANDARD: DOMAIN: GEOMETRY: 2.G.A Reason with shapes and their attributes.
- 1. Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes, such as a given number of angles or a given number of equal faces. Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes.
Objectives
Second grade students will understand geometric shapes, specifically triangles, quadrilaterals (trapezoid, rhombus, parallelogram, rectangle, kite), pentagons, hexagons and cubes. They will also understand prepositions such as under, behind, through, on, around, down, besides, over and inside. And finally they will understand how to make creative shapes with their bodies in small groups.
