This unit is 20 pages in length. All activities and sheets are connected to the common core standards for kindergarten. Many of these activities can still be used for first and second grade as well.

There are 8 different activities. Each activity has 1 -3 versions. The VERSIONS are similar, but each ACTIVITY is very different in terms of concept.

Standards Addressed:
Identify and describe shapes (squares, circles, triangles, rectangles, hexagons, cubes, cones, cylinders, and spheres).

MCC.K.G.1. Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to.

MCC.K.G.2. Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.

MCC.K.G.3. Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-dimensional (“solid”).

Analyze, compare, create, and compose shapes.

MCC.K.G.4. 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).

Classify objects and count the number of objects in each category.

MCC.K.MD.3. Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by count.
