Single/Multi-Day Lesson:
Single day lesson
b. I will have several students answer the question and as a class come up with an effective
way to know how to identity the differences in shapes.
Step #3 Students will compare real life objects to the shapes.
a. Can we think about real life objects that look like a triangle? Circle? Square?
b. Students will compare answers with their partners. Together, we will name real life objects such as
pizza, cone, and television set etc.
c. Step #4 Students will be able to use visual characteristics to name shapes.
a A rectangle is a rectangle because? It has four sides, opposite sides are parallel, opposite
sides equal, four right angles. What visual characteristics does a triangle have? Lets find
shapes around the room and name them. Example, the board, windows, desks, balls, books,
etc.
b Students will respond verbally to my questions.
Step #5 Students will understand how to classify shapes based on their visual features.
a How are rectangles and squares the same? They are parallel. What is parallel? Teacher
answers: two lines that go side-by-side and never meet. Volunteer a student to draw a square
and rectangle.
b We will have a group discussion that leads to Application Activity.
D APPLICATION ACTIVITY (Practice and/or Reflection):
Applying what they have learned by asking them to color in their worksheets all the triangles
greens, rectangles red, circles yellow, and circles blue.
MATERIALS & RESOURCES: TPE 9
Worksheets with shapes.
Posters with pictures identifying shapes.
Pencils
Math journals
Youtube.com
Manipulatives
IV.
ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES (Methods for Obtaining Evidence of Learning):
Formative: List in journals the shapes they have learned. In math journals, students will draw
shapes out that I will be naming randomly. For example, Can you draw a triangle? Students
will refer to a word bank of shapes on the board that matches the shape. Use worksheet from
application shapes Listen to students responses and check their work for understanding.
(facts)
Summative: Draw shapes in journal, write out description for shapes. A square has four
sides that are equal in length. Students will reflect the lesson taught in their math journals.
They will answer questions like: What did you learn today? What did you like? Was my lesson
easy and fun to understand?(See Step #5) See application Activity
