- Use stamps or stencils of 2D shapes to create your kapa design.
Common Core Math Standards
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.G.A.1
Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.G.A.2
Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.G.A.3
Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-dimensional (“solid”).
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.G.B.6
Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes.

ESS3.A: Natural Resources
K-ESS3-1:
Living things need water, air, and resources from the land, and they live in places that have the things they need. Humans use natural resources for everything they do.
K-ESS3-2:
Influence of Engineering, Technology, and Science on Society and the Natural World. People depend on various technologies in their lives; human life would be very different without technology.
