Here are some of the PASS Skills for Kindergarten and 1st grade regarding shapes:


 * Kindergarten: **

1. Identify, name, and describe a variety of basic two-dimensional geometric shapes such as squares, triangles, circles, rectangles, (regular) hexagons, and (isosceles) trapezoids presented in a variety of ways (e.g. with different sizes of orientation). 2. Identify, name, and describe a variety of three-dimensional geometric shapes such as spheres, cubes, and cylinders. 3. Model and use words indicating relative position or direction (e.g., students describe the relationships between self and objects in space using on, above, below, beside, under, on top of, behind, and over).
 * Standard 3: Geometry - The student will identify common geometric shapes and explore the relationship of objects in the environment. **


 * 1st Grade: **

1. Sort and identify congruent shapes. 2. Identify, name, and describe two-dimensional geometric shapes (including rhombi) and objects in everyday situations (e.g., the face of a round clock is a circle, a desktop is a rectangle). 3. Identify, name and describe three-dimensional geometric shapes (including cones) and objects in everyday situations (e.g., a can is a cylinder, a basketball is a sphere). 4. Use language to describe relationships of objects in space (e.g., above, below, behind, between).
 * Standard 3: Geometry - The student will use geometric properties and relationships to recognize and describe shapes. **

This is a video all about shapes in the environment. Some of my friends and I went around the University of Oklahoma's campus looking for different shapes. As you can see from the video, there are shapes all around us! If you look closely, you can see that shapes are in places that you didn't even realize, and that different shapes can be put together to create different things. We hope you enjoy the video and that you are able to learn a lot about the shapes in the environment!
