Compose 2D shapes by joining two, three, or four figures to make a target shape in more than one way.
Standard 1.6F in Mathematics helps students understand Compose shapes and apply knowledge with confidence.
For Grade 1, this standard focuses on Compose shapes and prepares learners for increasingly complex tasks.
Standard 1.6F describes the essential skills and understandings for Compose shapes in Grade 1. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
Students may rely on procedures without reasoning or mix key terms. Build in quick oral explanations, error analysis, and vocabulary supports tied to 1.6F.
Start with concrete or familiar examples, connect to prior knowledge, model a clear process, and provide checks for understanding aligned to 1.6F.
It lays groundwork for the next grade by deepening accuracy and flexibility with Compose shapes, so students can tackle more complex problems later.
