Overview & Purpose Education Standards Addressed

Introduce squares as a special rectangle
§111.2. Kindergarten (6) Geometry and
measurement. The student applies mathematical
process standards to analyze attributes of two-
dimensional shapes and three-dimensional solids
to develop generalizations about their properties.
(A) identify two-dimensional shapes, including
circles, triangles, rectangles, and squares as
special rectangles
(D) identify attributes of two-dimensional shapes
using informal and formal geometric language
interchangeably
