# K.GSR.8: Basic Shapes in Environment

Identify, describe, and compare basic shapes encountered in the environment, and form two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional figures.

- Subject: Mathematics
- Appears in: Kindergarten, https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/math/kindergarten.md

## Expectations

- **K.GSR.8.1**: Identify, sort, classify, analyze, and compare two- dimensional shapes and three-dimensional figures, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, number of sides and vertices, and other attributes.
- **K.GSR.8.2**: Describe the relative location of an object using positional words.
- **K.GSR.8.3**: Use basic shapes to represent specific shapes found in the environment by creating models and drawings.
- **K.GSR.8.4**: Use two or more basic shapes to form larger shapes.

## Georgia Milestones coverage

No Georgia Milestones blueprint cites this standard.

## The same standard across grades

- **Kindergarten, K.GSR.8 (this standard)**: Identify, describe, and compare basic shapes encountered in the environment, and form two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional figures.
- Grade 3, 3.GSR.8: Determine the perimeter of a polygon presented in real-life, mathematical problems. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/3.GSR.8.md
- Grade 4, 4.GSR.8: Identify and draw geometric objects, classify polygons based on properties, and solve problems involving area and perimeter of rectangular figures. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/4.GSR.8.md
- Grade 5, 5.GSR.8: Examine properties of polygons and rectangular prisms, classify polygons by their properties, and discover volume of right rectangular prisms. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/5.GSR.8.md
- Grade 8, 8.GSR.8: Solve contextual, geometric problems involving the Pythagorean Theorem and the volume of geometric figures to explain real phenomena. https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/code/8.GSR.8.md
