Previously Published Data 

1.) Students will use geoboards to make shapes, using colorful rubber bands. Students will record their shapes on dot paper. 

2.) Using geometric pieces cut from construction paper, students will glue together three or more shapes to make polygons. Students will draw shapes of objects or figures in their "Shape Art Book." Students will record shapes that are congruent. Students must remember that, in order for the shapes to be congruent, the objects or figures must be the same shape and size. 

3.) Using tangrams and/ or patterns blocks, students will use two or more pieces to make another polygon. They will be able to identify the parts and the whole, such as, two triangles and a square to make a rectangle.  

4.) Students will use construction paper to make three-dimensional shapes, such as pyramid, cube, cone, cylinder, rectangular prism, sphere. These solids are called space figures. Students will decorate the three-dimensional geometric shapes with two-dimensional geometric shapes. They may display them as mobiles. 



Previously Published Data 

1.) Given six or more shapes of objects and/ or figures cut in geometric pieces, such as triangles, rhombuses, squares, parallelograms, rectangles, trapezoids, students will identify the shapes in the whole and the name of the whole shape. Students will glue the shape on a sheet of paper and record their answers.  

2.) Students will draw a line to the congruent shape of objects and/ or figures.
