Georgia K.GSR.8

K.GSR.8 is a Georgia mathematics standard. These are the expectations under it.

• K.GSR.8.1

  Identify, sort, classify, analyze, and compare two- dimensional shapes and three-dimensional figures, in different sizes and orientations, using informal langua...

• K.GSR.8.2

  Describe the relative location of an object using positional words.

• K.GSR.8.3

  Use basic shapes to represent specific shapes found in the environment by creating models and drawings.

• K.GSR.8.4

  Use two or more basic shapes to form larger shapes.

01

What Students Need to Do

Students find and name common flat shapes and solid figures in classroom objects and pictures. They describe and compare features, then make shapes by joining pieces or building with materials.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students correctly name common flat shapes and solid figures in different sizes and positions. They describe features, compare shapes, and combine pieces or materials to form new shapes and figures.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may think a rotated square is no longer a square or that size changes a shape's name. They may confuse flat shapes with solid figures, such as calling a sphere a circle.

04

How to Assess It

Give each student a circle, triangle, square, cube, and sphere. Ask them to name each, describe one feature, compare two, then use pieces to make a new shape.

1. 01

   Give students craft sticks, paper shapes, clay, and blocks to build a triangle, rectangle, cube, and cone.

2. 02

   Show two shapes and ask, “How are these alike, and how are they different?” Record answers using sides, corners, faces, and curves.

3. 03

   Play Shape Hunt Bingo with cards showing circles, triangles, rectangles, squares, cubes, spheres, cones, and cylinders in varied positions.

4. 04

   Examine classroom objects, then match a clock, book, can, ball, and block to the flat shape or solid figure they resemble.
