    Bill,

    2.G.1 states that second graders should “recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes, such as a given number of angles or a given number of equal faces. Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes.” Are second graders expected to draw cubes?

    I don’t read it that way. Between the two bold faced parts of the sentence there is that “such as”. I read this as saying that “a given number of angles or a given number of equal faces” are examples of attributes, not a list of requirements that apply to both the verbs “recognize” and “draw”. So I think curriculum writers get to use their own judgement here.

    Thanks, Bill. This makes a lot of sense.
