Yep, the first grade standard is about vocabulary. The Kindergarten standard is about connecting shapes to each other, even when they are rotated or the size changes. This isn't a "glaring problem". They are different skills. Obviously most kindergarteners will pick up the shape names from playing with them in the context of activities that teach them to recognize them even when they're rotated, but ithat's not a standard until first.

great CC spin--doesn't pass the smell test.  They could have written it differently if that is what the writers intended.

Honestly?   If the Common Core Standard for Kindergarten math specified that "[b]all kindergarten students would be able to correctly name the shapes:  rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-circles, and quarter-circles[/b]"   you'd be bitching that that was too much for kindergarten kids.   You should be happy all those hard, difficult shapes weren't specified.[/quote]

And this is why all my teacher friends say they are vague and unclear. YOU are the one who wants it both ways -- you said they were clear, darling. They are totally slapped together, as another poster put it.

Hopefully they'll be dead within 18 months. [/quote]
