Florida B.E.S.T. MA.1.GR.1.4

Math1st GradeIdentify and analyze two- and three-dimensional figures based on their defining attributes.

The Standard

Given a real-world object, identify parts that are modeled by two- and three-dimensional figures. Figures are limited to semi-circles, triangles, rectangles, squares and hexagons, spheres, cubes, rectangular prisms, cones and cylinders.

What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students examine familiar objects and pictures, then name the flat or solid figures that model their parts. They connect each figure name to a specific part.

What Mastery Looks Like

Students correctly label flat and solid figures within pictures or objects. They can point to the matching part and name the figure without relying on color or size.

Common Misconceptions

Students may call every solid figure a shape without naming it. They often confuse squares with rectangles, cubes with rectangular prisms, and cones with cylinders.

How to Assess It

Display a rocket with a cone nose, cylinder body, and semicircle window. Ask students to label the figure that models each part.

Ways to Teach It

  1. Build a toy robot from cubes, rectangular prisms, cylinders, and spheres, then attach figure name cards to each part.

  2. Show a castle picture and ask, "Which parts look like rectangles, triangles, cylinders, and cones, and what attributes support each match?"

  3. Play Figure Match: students draw an object card, name one modeled part and its figure, then keep the card for a correct match.

  4. Walk around the classroom with clipboards; students sketch a tissue box, globe, and door, then label the figure modeled by each object.
