Lbs 340 Geometry Presentation-2

This document outlines three assessments for kindergarten geometry standard K.G. 04. The assessments are designed to evaluate students' ability to compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, describe similarities and differences between shapes, and identify parts of shapes. Assessment 1 is a performance task where students sort flat and solid shapes and name attributes. Assessment 2 observes students building shapes and explaining their characteristics. Assessment 3 interviews students about identifying flat faces on 3D shapes like cylinders, cones, and cubes. Checklists are provided to track student performance on shape identification, description, and use of mathematical vocabulary.

Geometry Standard
K.G. 04 -

Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and
orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences,
parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/“corners”) and other attributes (e.g.,
having sides of equal length).
Assessment(s):
Standard(s) Assessment (Modified by “Kindergarten Common Core Mathematics Assessment Tasks”)

K.G.4 – 1. (Performance Task) - Comparing 2D and 3D Shapes


● Big Idea # 1 for Shapes → Shapes can be defined and classified by their attributes (Erickson
Institute, 2014, Page 149)

K.G.4 – 2. (Observation) - Identifying Characteristics of Shapes


● Big Idea #1 for Shapes → Shapes can be defined and classified by their attributes (Erickson
Institute, 2014, Page 149)

K.G.4 – 3. (Interview) - Analyzing 3D Shapes


● Big Idea # 2 for Shapes → The flat faces of the solid shape (3D) are two-dimensional shapes
(Erickson Institute, 2014, Page 153)
Assessment #1: Comparing 2D and 3D
Performance Task K.G.04 → Big Idea #1: Shapes can be defined and classified by their attributes.
Directions: Provide students with 4 flat shapes (using attribute blocks or paper) and 4 solid objects
(using geometric solids). Have the students sort to identify flat shapes and solid shapes.

Kindergarten Observation K.G.04 → Big Idea #1: Shapes can be defined and classified by
their attributes.

Directions: Provide manipulatives, clay, play-doh, toothpicks, gummy candies, popsicle


sticks, pipe cleaners, etc. for students to build the following shapes. Each student will have
a partner. For the first task, each will build 2 different solid and flat shapes and then they
will talk about them. They will do it again with 2 different solid and flat shapes again and
compare and talk about them.
Assessment 2: Identifying Characteristics of
Shapes Individual Checklist:
Criteria Yes Sometimes No Teacher Notes

Student knows the difference


between a solid and flat shape

Student knows how to make a


solid shape

Student knows how to make a flat


shape

Student can explain their thinking

Student was able to use the


mathematical vocabulary
Assessment 2: Identifying Characteristics of
Shapes
Assessment #3: Analyzing 3D Shapes

Kindergarten Interview K.G. 04 → Big Idea #2: The flat faces of the solid shape (3D) are
Two-Dimensional shapes

Directions: Give students Three-Dimensional shapes and ask…


● What shapes do you see on this cylinder? (Point to it)
● What shapes do you see on this cone? (Point to it)
● What shapes do you see on this cube? (Point to it)
