Cluster 4: Identifying, Describing, Classifying and Composing Shapes
This cluster focuses on deepening concepts of shapes and their attributes, as well as sorting and describing attributes of objects. Students will describe, sort, compare and contrast various 2-D and 3-D shapes in this cluster. They need to be able
to manipulate objects to explore orientation, positionality, and composition. Students continue their work of counting and comparing within these concepts before moving to number relationships in cluster 5. (See About this Cluster and the Unpacking Document below for more details on this cluster.)
