Students mentally compose and decompose familiar two-dimensional shapes, complete simple spatial puzzles, and recognize matching shapes after turns, slides, or flips. They describe relative position, distinguish left and right from different orientations, follow and describe paths, and read simple maps using keys, directional language, and step-based distances. They identify front, top, and side views of simple three-dimensional objects and recognize quarter, half, and full turns and reflections.
