Ayee!! We classifying (x3)

Is it different or alike? Aye

We classifying (x3)

Is it different or alike? Aye

We classifying (x3)

Is it different or alike? Aye

When you classifying things see it’s all about the shapes

You got to figure out which ones are the same

Which one is different let me take you a mission

We got a circle two triangles which one is different

One is circular two has the corners

Which shapes the same?

What’s different from the other?

The circle shape is different but the circles are the same

And that is how you figure out what’s different and the same

With the shapes!

We classifying (x3)

Is it different or alike? Aye

We classifying (x3)

Is it different or alike? Aye

We classifying (x3)

Is it different or alike? Aye

We classifying (x3)

Is it different or alike? Aye

We classify we classify it’s all about the size

Tell me which one look different?

Which one look alike?

If they don’t look the same those shapes are not in an order

They got to have the same sides and the same border

We classify we classify it’s all about the shape

If they don’t match up in size those shapes are not the same (x2)

We classifying (x3)

Is it different or alike? Aye

We classifying (x3)

Is it different or alike? Aye

We classifying (x3)

Is it different or alike? Aye

We classifying (x3)

Is it different or alike? Aye

Standards

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.G.B.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).
