Shapes and spatial understanding (SSU) Skill

SUB SKILLS (KLIs as per FONS)
  1. Familiarises with spatial relationships like top- bottom; on-under; inside- outside;
  2. Sorts, classifies and describe the objects in her/his vicinity on the basis of shape and others observable properties.
  3. Identifies basic 3-D shapes such as cuboid, cylinder, cone, sphere by their name.
KEY LEARNING INDICATORS

Level 1

SSU1.1A
Displays understanding of spatial relationships (top- bottom, inside-outside; above-below; big-small; near-far; thin- thick; before-after; above-below, etc.) in given surroundings/situations and uses vocabulary for describing.
SSU2.1A
Classifies and sorts objects on the basis of some common property.
SSU2.1B
Uses everyday language to describe and compare shapes and objects
SSU2.1C
Finds similar shapes or objects in the environment
SSU3.1A
Names some basic shapes like cube, cuboid, sphere, etc.

Level 2

SSU1.2A
Displays understanding of 3-D shapes around her/his in terms of their physical properties.
SSU2.2A
Participates in discussions with other/his to draw inferences from the recorded information.
Devises ways to present the recorded information in such a way that its interpretation can be made simpler.
SSU2.2B
Identifies and describes features of shapes and objects
SSU2.2C
Describes what an object may look like from a different perspective
SSU3.2A
Shows understanding by naming 2-D shapes like square, rectangle, triangle an circle, and also discovers their observable properties.
SSU3.2B
Demonstrates shapes like book, glass, bottle, chalk box, ball as 3-D shapes and gradually attempts to associate them with standard names like cuboid, sphere, cone, cylinder, etc.
SSU3.2C
Explores observable properties of 3-D shapes like flat and curved surface, edges, corners, etc.
SSU3.2D
Groups objects on the basis of shapes (cones, cylinders, cubes, balls, etc.) and other observable properties.
SSU3.2E
Demonstrates her/his ability to differentiate between 2-D shapes (square, rectangle, etc.) and 3-D shapes (cone, cylinder, sphere, etc.)
SSU3.2F
Indicates understanding of 2-D shapes on the basis of number of sides, corners and diagonals, straight and curved edges, etc.

Level 3

SSU1.3A
Child identifies rectangles, triangles and other rectilinear shapes formed by the crease of paper on folding it.
SSU2.3A
Demonstrates shapes like book, glass, bottle, chalk box, ball as 3-D shapes and gradually attempts to associate them with standard names like cuboid, sphere, cone, cylinder, etc.
SSU3.3A
Groups objects on the basis of shapes (cone, cylinder, ball, etc. as they have curved surface) and other observable properties.
SSU2.3B
Recognises features of shapes of different sizes and in different orientations following flips, slides and turns.
SSU3.3B
Demonstrates her/his ability to differentiate between 2-D shapes (like square, rectangle, etc.) and 3-D shapes (cone, cylinder, sphere, etc.).
SSU3.3C
Uses different ways of drawing straight line by paper folding, straight edge, straight string with free hand and free ruler.
SSU3.3D
Cites different examples to show the understanding of difference between straight and curved lines.
SSU3.3E
Makes free-hand drawing of horizontal, vertical and slant lines.
SSU3.3F
Draws shapes of her/his liking by using straight and curved lines on a dot grid
