Checkpoint Solutions
SOL 3.14 The student will identify, describe, compare, and contrast characteristics of plane and solid
geometric figures (circle, square, rectangle, triangle, cube, rectangular prism, square pyramid, sphere,
cone, and cylinder) by identifying relevant characteristics, including the number of angles, vertices,
and edges, and the number and shape of faces, using concrete models.
Essential Knowledge and Skills
a. Identify models and pictures of plane geometric figures (circle, square, rectangle, and triangle) and solid geometric
figures (cube, rectangular prism, square pyramid, sphere, cone, and cylinder) by name
b. Identify and describe plane geometric figures by counting the number of sides and angles
c. Identify and describe solid geometric figures by counting the number of angles, vertices, edges, and by the number
and shape of faces
d. Compare and contrast characteristics of plane and solid geometric figures (e.g., circle/sphere, square/cube,
triangle/square pyramid, and rectangle/rectangular prism), by counting the number of sides, angles, vertices, edges,
and the number and shape of faces
e. Compare and contrast characteristics of solid geometric figures (i.e., cube, rectangular prism, square pyramid,
sphere, cylinder, and cone) to similar objects in everyday life (e.g., a party hat is like a cone)
f. Identify characteristics of solid geometric figures (cylinder, cone, cube, square pyramid, and rectangular prism)
