CKMath Unit 7: Solid Shapes All Around Us
Focus:
In this unit, students explore solid shapes while reinforcing their knowledge of counting, number writing and comparison, and flat shapes. They compose figures with pattern blocks and continue to count up to 20 objects, write and compare numbers, and solve story problems. Students distinguish between flat and solid shapes before focusing on solid shapes. They consider the weight and capacity of solid objects and identify solid shapes around them. The work here prepares students to identify defining attributes of shapes and to use flat and solid shapes to create composite shapes in grade 1.
