How to Use This Pack

Two pages that go over the whole unit on flat and solid shapes, to do together the day before the test. Its 10 questions are the same kinds as the test's, in the same order, with other shapes and pictures, so nothing on the review is on the test. Read every question aloud: a small picture beside each question number (a sun, a moon, a car) lets you say "Find the sun. Circle every triangle." There is no Score line: it is practice, not a grade. The pre-check and the unit test are packs of their own.

In the Classroom

Do the review together the day before the test, with a few real blocks and balls out. Read a question, let children answer on their own, and stop on any that trip up more than a few. Point to the choices as you name them ("circle, square, triangle"). Question 10 (the flat shape of a solid's face) is taught in Kindergarten in Texas: skip it if your class does not learn it. The keys name each question's lesson, so a question the class misses points to the lesson to go back to.

At Home

Use the review as practice before a test at school. Read each question aloud, and let your child trace the shapes with a finger and count the sides out loud.

Tips for Success

  • Read every question aloud; children answer by circling
  • Say the picture first: "Find the moon," then the question
  • Name each choice as you point to it, so no child has to read a word
  • A turned square is still a square; watch for children who call it a diamond
  • Go back to the lesson the key names for a question the class misses

Common Core Standards Alignment

This pack supports the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

  • K.G.A.1 Use shape names for everyday objects, and tell where things are with position words like over, under, next to and behind.
  • K.G.A.2 Name shapes correctly even when they are turned, tilted, bigger or smaller.
  • K.G.A.3 Tell whether a shape is flat (two-dimensional) or solid (three-dimensional).
  • K.G.B.4 Compare flat and solid shapes of any size or position, using everyday words for their sides, corners and other features.
