Geometry 

What are the key ideas of geometry that you want your students to work through during the school year?

In geometry for the upcoming year a big feature that we work on in first grade is shape names and spatial reasoning skills. We want students to understand the attributes of shapes, how to compose shapes (2D & 3D), and how to partition shapes. We often use manipulatives, specifically, pattern blocks and tangrams to help students become proficient in the geometry strands.
