Description |
| MA.1.GR.1.1: | Identify, compare and sort two- and three-dimensional figures based on their defining attributes. Figures are limited to circles, semi-circles, triangles, rectangles, squares, trapezoids, hexagons, spheres, cubes, rectangular prisms, cones and cylinders.Clarifications:
Clarification 1: Instruction focuses on the defining attributes of a figure: whether it is closed or not; number of vertices, sides, edges or faces; and if it contains straight, curved or equal length sides or edges.
Clarification 2: Instruction includes figures given in a variety of sizes, orientations and non-examples that lack one or more defining attributes.
Clarification 3: Within this benchmark, the expectation is not to sort a combination of two- and three-dimensional figures at the same time or to define the attributes of trapezoids.
Clarification 4: Instruction includes using formal and informal language to describe the defining attributes of figures when comparing and sorting.

| MA.1.GR.1.2: | Sketch two-dimensional figures when given defining attributes. Figures are limited to triangles, rectangles, squares and hexagons. |
| MA.1.GR.1.3: | Compose and decompose two- and three-dimensional figures. Figures are limited to semi-circles, triangles, rectangles, squares, trapezoids, hexagons, cubes, rectangular prisms, cones and cylinders.Clarifications:
Clarification 1: Instruction focuses on the understanding of spatial relationships relating to part-whole, and on the connection to breaking apart numbers and putting them back together.
Clarification 2: Composite figures are composed without gaps or overlaps. Clarification 3: Within this benchmark, it is not the expectation to compose two- and three- dimensional figures at the same time.

Access Point Title |
| MA.1.GR.1.AP.1: | Sort and identify two- or three-dimensional figures based on their defining attributes. (e.g., number of sides, vertices, edges, faces, etc., rather than color, orientation or size). Figures are limited to circles, semi-circles, triangles, rectangles, squares, trapezoids, hexagons, spheres, cubes, rectangular prisms, cones and cylinders. |
| MA.1.GR.1.AP.2: | Produce two-dimensional figures when given defining attributes. Figures are limited to triangles, rectangles and squares. |
| MA.1.GR.1.AP.3: | Recognize that different figures can be formed by putting together smaller two- or three-dimensional figures and that smaller figures can be formed by taking apart larger two- or three-dimensional figures. Figures are limited to semi-circles, triangles, rectangles, squares, trapezoids, hexagons, cubes, rectangular prisms, cones and cylinders. |
| MA.1.GR.1.AP.4: | Explore real-world objects with parts that can be modeled by a given two- or three-dimensional figure. Figures are limited to semi-circles, triangles, rectangles, squares and hexagons, spheres, cubes, rectangular prisms, cones and cylinders. |

Description |
| Exploring Machine Learning to Train an AI Model: | Students will explore Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) and pretrain a model to recognize and identify objects, including geometric shapes and aircraft. They will used unplugged activities to mimic sorting and classification of the objects using their prior knowledge and then make connections to human learning and Machine Learning. Students will then problem solve and propose solutions using an iterative process to improve the ML model to better recognize the objects. This lesson is an integrated Computer Science, Science and Math lesson designed for students in K-2 to apply math and science content knowledge while exploring and using computational thinking like people in Computer Science careers do. |
| Are You a Responsible Sorter and Citizen?: | Students will identify and sort three-dimensional figures by their attributes while demonstrating and identifying qualities of responsible citizenship. |
| Understanding Polygons: | This is a simple and fun activity that is great to incorporate into your geometry unit. As you read "The Greedy Triangle" aloud, the students "create" each shape with marshmallows and pretzel sticks - as you are reading the story, they complete a sheet in which they write the name of each shape, draw the shape, and record the number of sides and vertices each shape has. |
| Puzzled by Pattern Blocks!: | In this lesson, the students will use two-dimensional pattern blocks to compose new shapes and fill in composite outlines of shapes. |
| Shape Identifying and Sketching: | In this lesson students will describe attributes of triangles, rectangles, squares, and hexagons and identify these shapes by their attributes. Given the name of one of these shapes, students will use their knowledge of the shape's attributes to represent the shape with a sketch. |
| Life Jackets: | In this Model Eliciting Activity, MEA, the students are to decide what criteria is the most important for a company to consider when choosing life jackets. Students will use tally charts with data about comfort and visibility as well as information provided on 3D figures that can be used to model the life jackets.
Model Eliciting Activities, MEAs, are open-ended, interdisciplinary problem-solving activities that are meant to reveal students’ thinking about the concepts embedded in realistic situations. MEAs resemble engineering problems and encourage students to create solutions in the form of mathematical and scientific models. Students work in teams to apply their knowledge of science and mathematics to solve an open-ended problem, while considering constraints and tradeoffs. Students integrate their ELA skills into MEAs as they are asked to clearly document their thought process. MEAs follow a problem-based, student centered approach to learning, where students are encouraged to grapple with the problem while the teacher acts as a facilitator.

| The Greedy Shapes: | The lesson Greedy Shapes will give opportunities for students to use their knowledge of attributes of shapes (number of sides, sides of equal length, number of vertices, shapes that are closed or not, curved or straight edges) to sketch triangles, rectangles, squares, and hexagons. |
| Being Shapely!: | In this lesson, students will work collaboratively to identify and sketch shapes with defining and non-defining attributes. |
| Fun with Shapes: | In this lesson students explore the composing of new shapes from other two-dimensional shapes. The students will utilize math benchmarks as they analyze math solutions and explain their solutions. Since the lesson uses composing, it is also a good lesson to use to show decomposing (taking a shape apart). |
| Quilt Squares: | Model Eliciting Activities, MEAs, are open-ended, interdisciplinary problem-solving activities that are meant to reveal students’ thinking about the concepts embedded in realistic situations. MEAs resemble engineering problems and encourage students to create solutions in the form of mathematical and scientific models. Students work in teams to apply their knowledge of science and mathematics to solve an open-ended problem, while considering constraints and tradeoffs.

Students will use pattern blocks to create a quilt square for the Quick Quilters Society. They will have to consider information on a data chart to help them create their squares. They will have to add up the cost to make their square, too. |
| Shape Creator: | In this lesson, students will be taking their knowledge of two-dimensional shapes and applying it to recognizing combinations of shapes in real-world objects. They will also sketch these shapes and use them to model real-world objects. |
| Composite Creature: | The students will use pattern blocks to build and draw new composite geometric shapes, ultimately using composite shapes to form a creature. |
| I'll Share With You: | This lesson focuses on the beginning understanding of fractions through fair-sharing. Students will partition circles and rectangles into 2 and 4 equal-sized parts and be able to describe these parts using appropriate language such as halves and fourths. |
