# 2.GSR.7: Shapes and Partitioning

Draw and partition shapes and other objects with specific attributes, and conduct observations of everyday items and structures to identify how shapes exist in the world.

- Subject: Mathematics
- Appears in: Grade 2, https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/math/grade-2.md

## Expectations

- **2.GSR.7.1**: Describe, compare and sort 2-D shapes including polygons, triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and 3-D shapes including rectangular prisms and cones, given a set of attributes.
- **2.GSR.7.2**: Identify at least one line of symmetry in everyday objects to describe each object as a whole.
- **2.GSR.7.3**: Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares. Identify and describe equal-sized parts of the whole using fractional names (“halves,” “thirds,” “fourths”, “half of,” “third of,” “quarter of,” etc.).
- **2.GSR.7.4**: Recognize that equal shares of identical wholes may be different shapes within the same whole.

## Georgia Milestones coverage

No Georgia Milestones blueprint cites this standard.

## The same standard across grades

- **Grade 2, 2.GSR.7 (this standard)**: Draw and partition shapes and other objects with specific attributes, and conduct observations of everyday items and structures to identify how shapes exist in the world.
- Grade 3, 3.GSR.7: Identify area as a measurable attribute of rectangles and determine the area of a rectangle presented in real-life, mathematical problems. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/3.GSR.7.md
- Grade 4, 4.GSR.7: Investigate the concepts of angles and angle measurement to estimate and measure angles. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/4.GSR.7.md
