3 - Geometry and Spatial Sense Children show an interest in recognizing and creating shapes and an awareness of position in space. a - Describe and name common shapes found in the natural environment. |
Reading and Writing Oral Expression and Listening 1 - Conceptual understanding conveyed through vocabulary words can occur using a variety of modalities a - Identify and sort common objects, events, pictures, words, colors, shapes, and textures into various classifications Social Studies Geography 1 - Develop spatial understanding, perspectives, and connections to the world. a - Use positional phrasing. Phrases to include but not limited to: over and under, here and there, inside and outside, up and down Math Shape, Dimension and Geometric Relationships 1 - Shapes can be observed in the world and described in relation to one another a - Match, sort, group and name basic shapes found in the natural environment |
Cognitive 13 - Uses classification skills - 4 - Places objects in two or more groups based on differences in a single characteristic, e.g., color, size, or shape Mathematics 21 - Explores and describes spatial relationships and shapes a - Understands spatial relationships 6 - Uses and responds appropriately to positional words indicating location, direction, and distance Mathematics 21 - Explores and describes spatial relationships and shapes b - Understands shapes 6 - Describes basic two- and three dimensional shapes by using own words; recognizes basic shapes when they are presented in a new orientation |

Mathematics Knowledge & Skills Geometry & Spatial Sense: The understanding of shapes, their properties, and how objects are related to one another. Recognizes and names common shapes, their parts, and attributes. Mathematics Knowledge & Skills Geometry & Spatial Sense: The understanding of shapes, their properties, and how objects are related to one another. Understands directionality, order, and position of objects, such as up, down, in front, behind. Mathematics Knowledge & Skills Patterns: The recognition of patterns, sequencing, and critical thinking skills necessary to predict and classify objects in a pattern. Sorts, classifies, and serializes (puts in a pattern) objects using attributes, such as color, shape, or size. |

3 - Geometry and Spatial Sense Children show an interest in recognizing and creating shapes and an awareness of position in space. b - Use language to understand the arrangement, order and position of objects that are on top of, next to, on the bottom, underneath, beside and in front of other objects. |
Health and Physical Education Movement Competence and Understanding in Physical Education 2 - Demonstrate balance b - Demonstrate the relationship of under, over, behind, next to, through, right, left, up, down, forward, backward, and in front of by using the body and an object. Reading and Writing Oral Expression and Listening 1 - Conceptual understanding conveyed through vocabulary words can occur using a variety of modalities b - Begin to identify and use special concepts (first/last, over/under, etc.) Math Shape, Dimension and Geometric Relationships 1 - Shapes can be observed in the world and described in relation to one another d - Follow directions to arrange, order, or position objects |
