The lesson introduces common 2D shapes to kindergarten students and teaches them to identify attributes like number of sides and vertices. It also compares 2D and 3D shapes.

Plane (2D) shapes like square, rectangle, triangle, rhombus, circle, hexagon, oval and trapezoid are introduced. Their attributes of number of sides and vertices are discussed.

Two-dimensional (2D) shapes lie in a plane or are 'flat' while three-dimensional (3D) shapes are 'solid'. The teacher compares a square and cube and a circle and sphere to demonstrate the difference.

Kindergarten Math Sophisticated Shapes


Kindergarten 23.G.2 name shapes correctly regardless of their orientations or overall size
Math Standards
24.G.3 classify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-
dimensional (“solid”)

Lesson Students will define attributes, describe and provide a means for comparing and
Objective: naming shapes regardless of orientation, size, or color.
Guiding What is an attribute?
Questions: What shape has three sides?
What is the difference between a two-dimensional and three-dimensional shape?
How can shapes be described and compared?
How are these shapes alike and how are they different?
Lesson: Day 1 Teacher will introduce plane shapes (square, rectangle, triangle, rhombus)
and discuss their attributes (how many sides & vertices)

Shapes video

Hold up a square. Ask: What shape is this? How many sides does it have?
How many corners does it have?

Hold up a rectangle. Ask: What shape is this? How many sides does it
have?
How many corners? Is it the same as the first shape, or is it different?

Hold up a triangle. Ask: What shape is this? How many sides does it have?
How many corners?

Teacher will teach shapes poem from website

Have children sort Pattern Blocks by color, number of sides, or number of


corners. Ask them to identify the shapes they know. Students will compare
a square and a rectangle, also identify how many sides and vertices each
shape has with a partner.

Day 2 Teacher will introduce plane shapes (circle, hexagon, oval, trapezoid) and
discuss their attributes (how many sides & vertices)

Hold up a circle. Ask: What shape is this? How many sides does it have?
How many corners?

have?
How many corners?

Hold up a hexagon. Ask: What shape is this? How many sides does it have?
How many corners?
