Learning Goals for Math

Learning Goals for Math:

We are learning to...

-Identify and compare various polygons and sort them by their geometric properties (e.g. number of sides, side lengths, angles).

-Use a reference tool (e.g., paper corner, pattern block) to identify right and less and describe angles as greater than, equal to , or less than a right angle.

-Compare various angles, using concrete materials and pictorial representations, and describe angles as bigger than, small than or about the same as other angles (e.g., “Two of the angles on the red pattern block are bigger than all the angles on the green pattern block”).

-Compare and sort prisms and pyramids by geometric properties (e.g., number and shape of faces, number of edges, number of vertices).

-Construct rectangular prisms, and describe geometric properties of the prisms.  

-Solve problems requiring the greatest or least number of two-dimensional shapes (e.g., Compose a hexagon using different number of smaller shapes).

-Explain the relationships between different types of quadrilaterals.

-Identify and describe the two-dimensional shapes that can be found in a three-dimensional figure.

-Describe and name prisms and pyramids by the shape of their base (e.g., rectangular prism, square-based pyramid).

-Identify congruent two-dimensional shapes.
