Prekindergarten: Unit PK.G.A.1-2, Identify and Describe Two-Dimensional Shapes (circles, triangles, rectangles; including a square which is a special rectangle)

Content Emphases by Clusters in Grade PK

According to the Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC), some clusters require greater emphasis than others. The table below shows PARCC’s relative emphasis for each cluster. Prioritization does not imply neglect or exclusion of material. Clear priorities are intended to ensure that the relative importance of content is properly attended to. Note that the prioritization is in terms of cluster headings.

2. Count to tell the number of objects.
3. Compare quantites.

Operations and Algebraic Thinking

Number and operations in Base Ten

1. Work with numbers 0-10 to gain foundations for place value.

Measurement and Data

1. Describe and compare measurable attributes.
2. Sort objects into categories and compare qualities.

Geometry

1. Identify and describe two-dimensional shapes (circles, traingles, rectangle; including a square which is a special rectangle).
2. Work with three-dimensional shapes to gain foundation for geometric thinking.
