9.A Recognize, name, and match common shapes.

Preschool Benchmarks

Recognize and name common two- and three-dimensional shapes and describe some of their attributes (e.g., number of sides, straight or curved lines).

Sort collections of two- and three-dimensional shapes by type (e.g., triangles, rectangles, circles, cubes, spheres, pyramids).

Identify and name some of the faces (flat sides) of common three-dimensional shapes using two-dimensional shape names.

Combine two-dimensional shapes to create new shapes.

Think about/imagine how altering the spatial orientation of a shape will change how it looks (e.g., turning it upside down).
