K.GM.1.6 Use basic shapes and spatial reasoning to represent objects in the real world.

In a Nutshell

Once kindergarten students have a solid understanding of the basic shapes, they will begin to see these shapes in objects around them. Spatial reasoning allows the students to begin to see a 3D object represented as a 2D shape (a clock face looks like a circle). By the end of kindergarten, students should be able to identify the shape of real world objects and represent them in drawings.

Student Actions	Teacher Actions
Develop the ability to make models by using basic shapes to draw real world objects. Communicate mathematically by sharing what shapes they see in real objects with peers and/ or the teacher. Develop a Productive Mathematical Disposition as they test and build shapes connected to real world objects; creating a final shape without	Build conceptual understanding by providing opportunities for students to identify shapes in the world around them. Implement tasks that promote reasoning by allowing students to use basic shapes to create real world objects.
Key Understandings	Misconceptions
Flat shapes can be seen in real world objects (a TV is a rectangle). Shapes can be used to draw objects found in the real world.	At this point in child development, there are no true misconceptions. Students are building upon any prior knowledge.
