1. (Hold up a rectangle. Use different shapes for each student.) Point to something in this room that is
the same shape and use your words to tell me all about it. How do you know they are the same
shape?
2. (Place several typical, variant, and distracting shapes on the desk. Be sure to include three or four
triangles.) Please put all the triangles in my hand. How can you tell they were all triangles?
3. (Hold up a rectangle.) How is a triangle different from this rectangle? How is it the same?
4. (Place five typical shapes in front of the student.) Put the circle next to the rectangle. Put the square
below the hexagon. Put the triangle beside the square.

Materials: 1 cone; 3 cylinders (wooden or plastic); a variety of real solid shapes, e.g., soup can, paper towel
roll, party hat, ball, dice, or an unsharpened cylindrical (not hexagonal prism) pencil
1. (Hand a cylinder to the student.) Point to something in this room that is the same solid shape, and
use your words to tell me all about it.
2. (Place seven solid shapes in front of the student including three cylinders: wooden, plastic, realia.)
Put all the cylinders in this box.
3. (Show a cone.) How is the cylinder you are holding different from this cone? How is it the same?
4. (Place the set of solid shapes in front of the student.) Put the cube in front of the cylinder. Put the
sphere behind the cone. Put the cone above the cube.

Materials: Set of flat and solid shapes (do not use the paper cutouts from Topic A, but rather both
commercial flat shapes and classroom flat shapes, such as a piece of colored construction paper,
a CD sleeve, or a name tag)
1. Can you sort these shapes into one group of flat shapes and one group of solid shapes?
2. Tell me about your groups. What is the same about both groups? What is different?
3. Can you sort these shapes a different way? Tell me about your new groups. What is the same? What
is different?

Standards Addressed
Classify objects and count the number of objects in each category.
K.MD.3 Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category
and sort the categories by count. (Limit category counts to be less than or equal to 10.)
Identify and describe shapes (squares, circles, triangles, rectangles, hexagons, cubes, cones,
cylinders, and spheres).
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.
K.G.2 Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.
K.G.3 Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-dimensional
(“solid”).
Analyze, compare, create, and compose shapes.
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).
