Know
Understanding/Key Learning
- Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes, such as a given number of angles or a given number of equal faces. Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes.
- Partition a rectangle into rows and columns of same-size squares and count to find the total number of them.
- Use addition to find the total number of objects arranged in rectangular arrays with up to 5 rows and up to 5 columns; write an equation to express the total as a sum of equal addends.
- Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, thirds, half of, a third of, etc., and describe the whole as two halves, three thirds, four fourths. Recognize that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape.

Module 21
- Identify and describe three-dimensional shapes according to the number of faces, edges, and vertices.
- Name three-, four-, five-, and six-sided shapes according to the number of sides and vertices.
- Identify angles in two-dimensional shapes.
- Sort two-dimensional shapes according to their attributes.
Module 22
- Partition rectangles into same-sized squares and find the total number of these squares.
- Identify and name equal shares of circles and rectangles as halves, thirds, or fourths.
- Partition circles and rectangles to show halves, thirds, or fourths
- Identify and describe one equal share as a half of, a third of, or a fourth of a whole.
- Use visual models to show that equal shares of the same wholes do not need to have the same shape.
