Geometry and Measurement
First Grade

STATE GOAL 7: Estimate, make and use measurements of objects, quantities and relationships and determine acceptable levels of accuracy. 
STATE GOAL 9: Use geometric methods to analyze, categorize and draw conclusions about points, lines, planes and space.
Topics Mastered

Resources           

  • Plane and solid geometric shapes (rectangular prism, cone, pyramid, cube, sphere, cylinder, circle, square, triangle, oval, diamond, and rectangle)
  • Time to hour and half-hour
  • Calendar

Harcourt-Brace
Math Advantage


AAA Math

Sorting

Students will be able to demonstrate:  
  • identifying, describing, sorting, classifying, and comparing plane and solid geometric shapes
  • reading analog and digital clocks to the hour and half-hour
  • associating seasons with months and know that 12 months equals 1 year, 7 days equals 1 week
 
Topics Introduced
  • Properties of plane and solid geometric shapes
  • Symmetry
  • Length, volume, weight and mass
  • Coins
  • Temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit
  • Methods for estimation
  • Estimated measurements vs. actual measurements
  • Congruent
 
Students will practice:  
  • identifying related plane and solid geometric shapes including circle-sphere, square-cube, triangle-pyramid, rectangle-rectangular prism and their basic properties; draw plane shapes
  • identifying lines of symmetry in simple figures and construct symmetrical figures using various concrete materials
  • measuring length, volume and weight/mass using rulers, scales and other appropriate measuring instruments in the customary and metric systems
  • identifying and describing the relative values and relationships among coins (penny, nickel, dime, quarter, and half-dollar) and solving addition and subtraction problems using currency up to $1.00
  • reading a thermometer to the nearest degree in Celsius and Fahrenheit
  • describing possible methods for estimating a given measure for a given problem
  • comparing estimated measures to actual measure taken with appropriate measuring instruments
  • identifying "same shape and size" and "same shape but different size"
