Standards Icon Benchmark #:MA.K.G.2.5

  • General Information
    • Benchmark Number: MA.K.G.2.5
      Benchmark Description: Use basic shapes, spatial reasoning, and manipulatives to model objects in the environment and to construct more complex shapes.

      Subject Area: Mathematics
      Grade Level: K
      Body of Knowledge: Geometry
      Big Idea: BIG IDEA 2 - Describe shapes and space.
      Date Adopted or Revised: 09/07
      Date of Last Rating: 06/07
      Cognitive Complexity: High   -  What does this mean?
      Status: State Board Approved
      Remarks/Examples: Students will create new objects from a set of given shapes. Students will reproduce a model by selecting the shapes represented in the model. For example, students may choose to create a representation of a house using a square and a triangle.
