2-D Shapes

 1. T: Good morning class! I would love it if everyone could clear off their desk completely and place your eyes on me so that I know that you are ready.
2. Students will clear off desk completely and place their eyes on me so that I know they are ready to begin.
3. T: Today we are going to be learning about 2-dimensional shapes. We are going to be talking about seven different 2-dimensional shapes. First let’s take a look at a circle.
4. Teacher will hold up a picture of a circle.
5. T: What do you notice about this shape?
6. Allow students time to express ideas.
7. Teacher will point out that a circle is round and has no sides.
8. T: Now let’s take a look at a square.
9. Teacher will hold up image of a square.
10. T: What do you notice about this shape?
11. Allow students to express ideas.
12. Teacher will point how that a square has four equal sides.
13. T: Now let’s take a look at a rectangle.
14. Teacher will hold up image of a rectangle.
15. T: What do you notice about this shape?
16. Allow students to express ideas.
17. Teacher will point how that a rectangle has four sides. Two sides are longer and equal, while the other two sides are shorter and equal.
18. T: Now let’s take a look at a triangle.
19. Teacher will hold up image of a triangle.
20. T: What do you notice about this shape?
21. Allow students to express ideas.
22. Teacher will point how that a triangle has three sides.
23. T: Now let’s take a look at a hexagon.
24. Teacher will hold up image of a hexagon.
25. T: What do you notice about this shape?
26. Allow students to express ideas.
27. Teacher will point how that a hexagon has six sides.
28. T: Now let’s take a look at a rhombus.
29. Teacher will hold up image of a rhombus.
30. T: What do you notice about this shape?
31. Allow students to express ideas.
32. Teacher will point how that a rhombus has four sides.
33. T: Now let’s take a look at a trapezoid.
34. Teacher will hold up image of a trapezoid.
35. T: What do you notice about this shape?
36. Allow students to express ideas.
37. Teacher will point how that a trapezoid has four sides.
38. T: Now that we have went over the differences between these 2-dimensional shapes and how to identify them, I am going to pass out a worksheet that I would like you to complete. If you have any questions while working raise your hand and I will come to you.
39. Teacher will pass out worksheets.
40. Allow students to work on worksheets for about 10-15 minutes.
41. Teacher will go over worksheet with the class.
42. T: Now I would like for you to create an image of your choosing on the construction paper I am about to hand out using AT LEAST four of the shapes we have discussed today. You could use the shapes to draw a garden, your room, something at school, a single object, etc.
43. Teacher will show their example to the class.
44. T: Does anyone have any questions before we begin?
45. Allow students to ask questions.
46. Teacher will pass out construction paper and markers/colored pencils. Students will have 20-25 minutes to work on their drawing.
47. T: I can see that most of us are finishing up. Who would like to share their drawing with the class, and point of the four shapes that they chose to use?
48. Allow students to share drawings.
49. I love how so many of you learned a lot about 2-dimensional shapes. You all did a great job and participated very nicely! It is now time to get ready for lunch. If you have a lunch box grab it. Wait for me to call your table to line up.
 

Extension: Pull for small group remediation as necessary. Provide students with cut outs of shapes and have them categorize/group together as shapes based on their attributes.

Differentiation: Increase the number of required shapes within the final product drawings. Consider introducing shapes with additional categorizations such as quadrillaterals.

Students will be assessed on how well they were able to complete the worksheet that was given. They will also be assessed on the art work that they drew based on the shapes that they chose to place in their drawings.
