Xiang has demonstrated sound knowledge of two-dimensional shapes. A computer program has been used to produce a picture containing two-dimensional shapes. Two shapes have been correctly named but there is no description of how they have been used. To progress further, Xiang could use a wider variety of shapes and describe how they have been used. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at the expected standard midway through Kindergarten.
