Classify and sort a variety of regular and irregular two‑ and three‑dimensional figures regardless of orientation or size.
The intent of K.6E is to move students from guided examples to independent work with Classify/sort 2D & 3D figures.
With K.6E, Grade K students practice Classify/sort 2D & 3D figures in multiple representations and contexts.
Students may rely on procedures without reasoning or mix key terms. Build in quick oral explanations, error analysis, and vocabulary supports tied to K.6E.
Start with concrete or familiar examples, connect to prior knowledge, model a clear process, and provide checks for understanding aligned to K.6E.
Standard K.6E describes the essential skills and understandings for Classify/sort 2D & 3D figures in Grade K. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
It lays groundwork for the next grade by deepening accuracy and flexibility with Classify/sort 2D & 3D figures, so students can tackle more complex problems later.
