Shapes: Compose & Decompose for 1st Grade Math
This unit explores how two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes can be combined to form new shapes or broken down into simpler parts.
Skills and lessons
Composing New Shapes
Students will use various 2D shapes to create larger, more complex shapes, understanding how parts fit together to form a whole.
Decomposing Shapes into Smaller Parts
Students will break down larger shapes into simpler, smaller component shapes, understanding the parts-to-whole relationship.
Exploring 3D Shapes (Identify and Attributes)
Students will identify common three-dimensional shapes (cubes, cones, cylinders, spheres, rectangular prisms) and describe their attributes like faces, edges, and vertices.
