Type: Interactive/Game

Overview:

Teach your students about the composition and decomposition of shapes with the help of this game from Peg + Cat. Help Super Peg and Cat Guy protect the citizens of Mathtropolis. Shapes all over the city have been taken apart and it is up to these heroes to put them back together and save the day!

Content Standard(s):

Evidence Of Student Attainment:
Students:
  • Combine simple shapes to construct known larger shapes.
Knowledge:
Students know:
  • 2D and 3D shapes (triangle, square, rectangle, hexagon, rhombus, circle, cube, cylinder, sphere, cone).
Skills:
Students are able to:
  • Combine simple shapes to form larger shapes.
Understanding:
Students understand that:
  • geometric shapes can be composed of and decomposed into smaller shapes.
Diverse Learning Needs:
Essential Skills:
Learning Objectives:
M.K.23.1: Combine shapes to fill the area of a given shape.
M.K.23.2: Decompose pictures made of simple shapes.
M.K.23.3: Match shapes.

Alabama Alternate Achievement Standards
AAS Standard:
M.AAS.K.23 Using a model of a larger shape outline, use simple shapes to compose larger shapes.
Example: Join two triangles with full sides touching to make a rectangle.
Mathematics
MA2019 (2019)
Grade: 1
22. Compose two-dimensional shapes (rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-circles, and quarter-circles) or three-dimensional shapes (cubes, right rectangular prisms, right circular cones, and right circular cylinders) to create a composite shape, and compose new shapes from the composite shape.
Unpacked Content
Evidence Of Student Attainment:
Students:
  • compose 2D shapes from smaller 2D shapes (e.g., use two right triangles to make a square or two squares to make a rectangle).
  • compose 3D shapes from smaller 3D shapes (e.g., use two cubes to make a rectangular prism or two triangular prisms to make a rectangular prism).
Teacher Vocabulary:
  • Trapezoid
  • Right rectangular prism
  • Right circular cone
  • Right circular cylinder
  • Composite shape
  • Two dimensional
Knowledge:
Students know:
  • attributes of basic shapes (rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-circles, quarter-circles, cubes, right rectangular prisms, right circular cones, and right circular cylinders).
Skills:
Students are able to:
  • use shape manipulatives to create composite shapes.
Understanding:
Students understand that:
  • composite shapes and figures are created by joining two or more geometric shapes together to create a different shape.
