 * GLE 0006.1.4 Move flexibly between concrete and abstract representations of mathematical ideas in order to solve problems, model mathematical ideas, and communicate solution strategies. ||
 * GLE 0006.4.1 Interpret and describe the physical world with geometric ideas and vocabulary. ||
 * * 0006.4.1 Identify, name, and describe a variety of shapes (i.e. circles, squares, triangles, rectangles, hexagons, trapezoids) shown in various positions. ||
 * * 0006.4.2 Identify, name, and describe three-dimensional shapes (such as sphere, cube, cone, cylinder). ||
 * * 0006.4.3 Sort plane figures into groups, name and describe the attributes of the shapes (such as number of sides and corners (vertices). ||
 * * 0006.4.4 Sort solid figures into groups, name and describe the attributes of the shapes. ||
 * * 0006.4.5 Use basic shapes and spatial reasoning to model objects and construct more complex shapes. ||
 * GLE 0006.4.2 Use positional terms to specify locations with simple relationships. ||
 * * 0006.4.6 Identify positions (such as beside, inside, outside, above, below, between, on, over, under, near, far, forward, backward, top, middle, bottom, left, right) using models, illustrations, and stories. ||
 * **Common Core Standards:** ||
 * K.G.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. ||
 * K.G.2. Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size. ||
 * K.G.3. Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-dimensional (“solid”). ||
 * K.G.4. Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/“corners”) and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length). ||
 * K.G.5. Model shapes in the world by building shapes from components (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes. ||
 * K.G.6. Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes. For example, “Can you join these two triangles with full sides touching to make a rectangle?” ||
