Jungle Gym Geometry

First graders continue to develop their geometric understanding of two- and three-dimensional shapes by moving beyond the simple attribute identification and shape creation they learned in kindergarten to defining attributes and creating composite shapes. First graders also get their first assessed look at fractions via the part-whole relationship and are asked to partition triangles and rectangles into equal shares.

The Jungle Gym Geometry assessment template focuses on both identifying specific two-dimensional shapes and then creating a large composite shape and includes a basic introduction, skills assessment, and then open-ended project creation. The template can be completed individually or in small groups as a teacher-led class assignment or independently during station/center time.
