State Curriculum - Mathematics

  
Grade 1
Standard 2.0 Knowledge of Geometry: Students will apply the properties of one-, two-, or three-dimensional geometric figures to describe, reason, or solve problems about shape, size, position, or motion of objects.
A. Plane Geometric Figures
1. Recognize and apply the properties/attributes of plane geometric figures
a. Identify, name, and compare triangles, circles, squares, rectangles, and rhombi by their attributes
b. Create models of triangles, circles, squares, and rectangles with varied materials
c. Combine and subdivide squares and triangles
B. Solid Geometric Figures
1. Recognize and use the attributes of solid geometric figures
a. Identify and compare cubes, spheres, cylinders, pyramids, cones, and rectangular prisms
C. Representation of Geometric Figures
1. Represent plane geometric figures
a. Sketch triangles, circles, squares, rectangles, and rhombi
D. Congruence
1. Identify congruent figures
a. Match congruent figures
E. Transformations
1. Recognize a transformation
a. Use the direction, location, and position words right and left
b. Apply spatial reasoning in activities such as: pattern block
c. Identify and demonstrate slides and flips using manipulatives
2. Analyze geometric figures and pictures
a. Demonstrate symmetry in basic shapes and pictures by paper folding and drawing a line of symmetry
 

Note: Highlighted assessment limits will be tested in the no calculator section of MSA. In the assessment limit, (0-10) or (-10 to 10) means all numbers in the problem or the answer will fall within the range of 0 to 10 (including endpoints) or -10 to 10 (including endpoints), respectively. All content standards are tested in MSA but not all objectives. Objectives that have an assessment limit are tested on MSA. Objectives without an assessment limit are not tested on MSA.

 

MSDE has developed a toolkit for these standards which can be found online at: http://mdk12.org/instruction/curriculum/mathematics/vsc_toolkit.html.
