Putting Flat Shapes Together
Make new shapes from two or more shapes.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 51
- Shapes can be put together to make new shapes! Two half circles make a circle.
- Two squares side by side make a rectangle.
- Put a triangle on top of a square, and you've made a house shape!
- Six triangles fit together to make a hexagon, like pattern blocks.
- Try it with a grown-up! Cut paper squares in half, corner to corner. What shapes can you make with the pieces?
Georgia's K-12 Mathematics Standards:
- 1.GSR.4.2 — Compose two-dimensional shapes (rectangles, squares, triangles, half-circles, and quarter-circles) and three-dimensional figures (cubes, rectangular prisms, cones, and cylinders) to create a shape formed of two or more common shapes and compose new shapes from the composite shape.
