Math- Geometry
Math is a very important subject that many students need to grasp at a young age. This resource page will focus on grades first, second, and third. Below our the content standards, activities, and videos that your child will love and enjoy! Have fun while doing them and I hope you all learn so much!
First Grade Algebra Content Standard:
GEOMETRY 1.G
Reason with shapes and their attributes.
1. Distinguish between defining attributes (e.g., triangles are closed and threesided)
versus non-defining attributes (e.g., color, orientation, overall size);
build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes.
2. Compose two-dimensional shapes (rectangles, squares, trapezoids,
triangles, half-circles, and quarter-circles) or three-dimensional shapes
(cubes, right rectangular prisms, right circular cones, and right circular
cylinders) to create a composite shape, and compose new shapes from the
composite shape.4
3. Partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal shares, describe the
shares using the words halves, fourths, and quarters, and use the phrases
half of, fourth of, and quarter of. Describe the whole as two of, or four of the
shares. Understand for these examples that decomposing into more equal
shares creates smaller shares.

** This video helps explain what geometry is to first graders. The video breaks down different ideas of what geometry is.
** Worksheet
Students will be able to complete this worksheet. This worksheet is able for your access to work with you child outside of school.
Third Grade Algebra Content Standard:
GEOMETRY 3.G
Reason with shapes and their attributes.
1. Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles,
and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the
shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals).
Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of
quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to
any of these subcategories.
2. Partition shapes into parts with equal areas. Express the area of each part
as a unit fraction of the whole. For example, partition a shape into 4 parts
with equal area, and describe the area of each part as . of the area of the
shape.

Second Grade Algebra Content Standard:
GEOMETRY 2.G
Reason with shapes and their attributes.
1. Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes, such as a given
number of angles or a given number of equal faces.5 Identify triangles,
quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes.
2. Partition a rectangle into rows and columns of same-size squares and count
to find the total number of them.
3. 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.
