V. MATH WASHINGTON STATE STANDARDS – GRADE 1
Geometric attributes (Geometry/Measurement)1.3 - Students expand their knowledge of two- and three-dimensional geometric figures by sorting, comparing, and contrasting them according to their characteristics. They learn important mathematical vocabulary used to name the figures. Students work with composite shapes made out of basic two-dimensional figures as they continue to develop their spatial sense of shapes, objects, and the world around them.
1.3.A Compare and sort a variety of two- and three-dimensional figures according to their geometric attributes.
- The student may sort a collection of two-dimensional figures into those that have a particular attribute (e.g., those that have straight sides) and those that do not.1.3.B Identify and name two-dimensional figures, including those in real-world contexts, regardless of size or orientation.
- Figures should include circles, triangles, rectangles, squares (as special rectangles), rhombi, hexagons, and trapezoids1.3.C Combine known shapes to create shapes and divide known shapes into other shapes.
- Students could be asked to trace objects or use a drawing program to show different ways that a rectangle can be divided into three triangles. They can also use pattern blocks or plastic shapes to make new shapes. The teacher can give students cutouts of shapes and ask students to combine them to make a particular shape.

Simple sentences are sequenced with some logical development. Students use some prewriting strategies with support from the teacher. Although phonetic spelling is common, there is a marked increase in the number of words spelled accurately, and students demonstrate an awareness of some spelling patterns. As understanding of revising and editing develops, students reread what they write, and the clarity and accuracy of writing increases. Conventions of punctuation, directionality, spacing, and letter formation ensure work is legible.

X. ELD STANDARDSIdentifying a student’s proficiency level is the first step in using the Washington State English Language Development Standards to design effective instruction so that all students can access content. There are five proficiency levels (beginning, advanced beginning, intermediate, advanced, transitional) in each of the four language domains (listening, speaking, reading, writing). A fifth domain, Comprehension, is embedded within the four domains and is part of the Washington Language Proficiency Test.

I Just Thought You Might Like to Know….
By Heather Craggs, Cheryl Harrel, Tiffany Rose, Jennifer Ross
I just thought you might like to know that shapes are found all over the world! Hexagons are found in bee hives. Mount Fuji is an amazing cone. Centipedes are able to form into a circular shape. Birch bark’s structure is a cylinder.
I just thought you might like to know that there are many shapes in nature.Page 1
I just thought you might like to know that shapes are found all over the world!
The Beijing Guardian building is full of triangles. Casa Batlló, in Barcelona, has many ovals and spheres. The Parthenon, in Greece, uses a construction principal called the
golden rectangle in its design. Countless windows are made of many, many squares.
I just thought you might like to know that there are many shapes in architecture.Page 2
I just thought you might like to know that there are many shapes all over the world! Cereal boxes are regularly rectangular prisms. Sea stars are commonly formed as a 5-pointed star. People have used circular magnifying glasses to help them see for
thousands of years. A Rubiks cube is a game and a square prism!
I just thought you might like to know are many shapes in common objects.Page 3
I just thought you might like to know that there are many shapes all over the world! Piet Mondrian’s art painted geometric shapes and lines to balance
color. Kandinsky used many shapes to create amazingly complex works of
art. Frida Kahlo enjoyed the ovals and circles when making watermelons
on canvas.
In India, rangoli artists create beautiful paintings and tiles using many different shapes and patterns.

Clouds are sometimes shaped like the letter C. The circle in the sky is a cirrus cloud. Sometimes clouds are even triangle shaped. A cloud can even have the shape of a favorite treat – an ice cream
cone!

Geometry Timeline
Adapted by Heather CraggsNarrative Input
Roberto the termite always went against the grain. While most termites were eating wood, he never melted over maple, and pined for pine. All he wanted to do was make geometric shapes with his food and design buildings. “See this symmetrical effect on this trapezoid desk!” His mom and his dad weren’t impressed.
One day he realized that he was hungry to start a new life and the only way to build one was to venture to the big city to fulfill his dream of being a famous architect.
When he arrived at the big city, he went to his heroes of the architectural world and didn’t t meet with a warm reception!
“Don’t bug me!” blurted Antonia Gaudi while she designed rhomboidal prism for Steven Speilbug.
“There are no termites in my three dimensional houses,” stated Fleas Van Der Rohe.
As he was leaving their famous offices feeling like a PEST, he looked around the city and noticed that many bugs were having a hard time too! “My house is on fire and my children are gone!” a ladybug cried. A linear stampede of roaches was running for their lives after being chased from a diner. Roberto could see he wasn’t the only bug with problems!
“I’ll show Ol’ Fleas what this termite can do! I’ll show them all,” said Roberto. He came up with a two dimensional plan, and sketched the entire square block. He then went and looked for a perfect location!
Roberto hammered and nailed! He sawed and sanded. He worked day and night! He transformed the whole square block into a work of art! Symmetrical houses, rhombi windows, and rectangle bricks became a base for new lives. Like a magician, he transformed the square block of junk with a street of extraordinary homes!
When he was done he sent the keys to all the downtrodden bugs he knew! When Dotty the ladybug moved into her new lair she said, “There’s no way to have a fire since it’s made of rectangular bricks down there.!” The roaches were also on the scene and said, “You won’t find us in seedy diners anymore, now that we have our very own special square front door.”
“Hip, hip, hip hurray,” Roberto the architect , “He’s our mathematical magician each and everyday!”
THE MYSTERY CASTLE(Geometric Shapes)By Heather Craggs
Narrative Input
In 1930, a father named Boyce Luther Gulley left his family and traveled to Phoenix after learning he had tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is a disease that is contagious and he didn’t want his young daughter Mary Lou or her mom to get sick too.
Mr. Gulley missed his family terribly. So he decided to build a castle for the little girl he’d left behind. He built a magical place with many interesting geometric shapes.
He spent the next 15 years building the Mystery Castle with materials he found and salvaged from the deserts of Arizona.
In 1945, Mr. Boyce died. He left his castle to his daughter Mary Lou Gulley. She opened the castle to the public. She wanted others to see the amazing work of her father and enjoy the shapes and sights of the castle.
Magical rectangles and shapes abound. Can you see the rectangles and special squares all around?
Look closely and you will see the hidden triangles – one, two, three! Can you see the magical triangles, one two, three?
The trapezoids are there to keep you safe on the wide patio above the gate! Can your eyes see all around and find the trapezoids that aren’t on the ground?
An enormous rhombus is in the artwork for all to see! The decorations have shapes for you to spy if you have a great keen eye. Can you find the rhombus inside the Mystery Castle?
In the 1930’s hexagons were all the rage for sewing quilts for babies of the age. Look closely at the quilt and you will see many hexagons hidden for you to see!
Now you’ve toured the magical Mystery Castle from afar! Take a look at the pictures again and find your own shapes, how about a star?

HOUSE CHANT
By Heather Craggs
I know a geometric shape,
A symmetrical shape,
A symmetrical shape,
It’s a geometric structure where I live.
With two rectangular doors,
Two triangles by the roof,
Four square windows,
And two rectangles that form the roof
I know a geometric shape,
A symmetrical shape
A symmetrical shape
It’s the house where I live!
I’M A SHAPE!By Heather Craggs
Rhombi flying through the skyKites are rhombi flying high
Hexagons have six sides,Bees keep honey and pupa inside.
We’re rhombi!We’re hexagons!We’re trapezoids!We’re rectangles!
Trapezoids are so neatOne set of parallel lines make them complete
Rectangles help us lead the way,We walk through the four right angles everyday!
Through a rectangle we do walk when we leave our doorstop
We’re rhombi!We’re hexagons!We’re trapezoids!We’re rectangles!
I’M A TRIANGLE!By Heather Craggs
I’m a triangle, three sides have IMy base is solid just you tryWith me you can make more shapes!But build a triangle just in case!
I’m a TRIANGLE!I’m a TRIANGLE!
I’m a triangle don’t you fear,Isosceles, equilateral and scalene are here,Isosceles have two sides and angles the same.Equilateral has all sides and angles the sameScalene is the tricky one,All three angles are different even the lengths aren’t the same.
I’m a TRIANGLE!I’m a TRIANGLE!
And now for a triangle that can’t be wrong!The right triangle has an angle that’s 90 degrees! Stand up straight, tall as you please, and you can make 90 degrees!
I’m a TRIANGLE!I’m a TRIANGLE!

Trapezoid Expert Group
Attributes – A trapezoid is a geometric figure that has four sides of straight lines, and four angles. Two of the sides are a set of parallel lines. The parallel sides are called the bases. The sides that are not parallel are called the legs.
Three dimensional (3D) shape – A trapezoidal prism is a 3D trapezoid. It has six faces and twelve edges.
Real World Examples – A Mayan temple or a table are real life examples of objects or buildings that are shaped like trapezoids.
Interesting Fact – The symbol for Pizza Hut is a trapezoid.
Rectangle/Square Expert Group
Attributes – A rectangle is a figure with four sides that are straight, and four right angles. Opposite sides are parallel and are the same lengths, or congruent.
Three dimensional (3D) shape – A rectangular prism and a cube are 3D rectangles.
Real World Examples – Some houses, a box, and a white board are all real life examples of rectangles.
Interesting facts – A square is a special rectangle, because all four sides are the same size and all the angles are equal.
Rhombus Expert Group
Attributes – A rhombus is a special type of parallelogram. ALL four sides are the same length.
Three dimensional (3D) shape – A rhomboidal prism is a 3D rhombus. Calcite, a very common mineral in the earth, contains many rhomboidal prisms.
Real World Examples – A kite, a skate or ray, and a rhombus squid are all real life examples of rhombi.
Interesting facts – There are no right angles in a rhombus. When there is more than one rhombus, we say “rhombi”.
Hexagon Expert Group
Attributes – A hexagon has six sides made of straight lines. There are also six angles.
Three dimensional (3D) shape – A hexagonal sphere is a 3D hexagon.
Real world examples – A soccer ball, a honeycomb, and Epcot Center at Disney World, are all examples of hexagonal spheres.
Interesting facts - Hexagons are special because they can be divided into six equilateral triangles, or three rhombi, or 2 trapezoids.
