Directions: With a partner, group the geometric shapes provided based on their differences.
 Assessment#1: Observation (Morning)
Standard:
K.G.4- Analyze and compare two-and three dimensional shapes in different size and orientation,
using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts, and other attributes.

Directions: Give each pair of students a box filled with geometric solid shapes. Instruct the
students to work with a partner to find the similarities and differences between the
geometric shapes.
- Allow 5-10 minutes for students to find the similarities.
- Allow 5-10 minutes for students to find the differences.

Teacher Notes:

Checklist:
▢ Student knows a sphere, semi-sphere, cone, and cylinder are similar.
▢ Student knows a rectangular prism and a cube are similar.
▢ Student knows a rectangular prism and hexagonal prism are similar.
▢ Student pairs different shapes together based on their features (i.e. a sphere with a cube).
▢ ​Students are using informal language to describe the similarities and differences between the
geometric shapes.

 Assessment #3: Interview
Standard:

K.G.4- Analyze and compare two-and three dimensional shapes in different size and orientation,
using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts, and other attributes.

Interview
Directions: ​Educator will show students a 2-dimensional and a 3-dimensional shape and will
ask the following questions:

Similarities:

● “What is similar between the two shapes?”

● “Why do you say those shapes are similar?”
● “How do you think they are similar?”“

Differences:

● “What are the differences between the two shapes? ”

● “Why do you say the shapes are different?”
● “How do you think they are different?”
● “How can you make them similar?”

Size and orientation:

● “Which shape has more sides?”

● “How many different shapes can you find in the 3-diminsional shape?”
