Learning Objectives

Students will be able to identify geometric shapes in objects they use in their daily lives.

The adjustment to the whole group lesson is a modification to differentiate for children who are English learners.

Introduction

(10 minutes)

Tell students that today they are going to learn about 3D geometric shapes.
Show them examples of 2D and 3D shapes, such as a circle and a sphere.
List all of the names of the shapes that your students will be working on.
Ask them to name some shapes they see around them.
Read the book Shapes in Our WorldBy Moira Anderson.

Explicit Instruction/Teacher modeling

(10 minutes)

Make 3D shapes by folding paper.
Show the folded shapes to your students, and name each shape clearly.
Display the written name of the shape next to the corresponding shape.
Show them some everyday objects that correspond to these shapes.

Guided practise

(10 minutes)

Have your students explore the premade folded shapes, everyday objects, and names of the shapes.
Encourage them to count the number of sides of a 2D shape and compare with its 3D shape.
Ask them to look at the names of the shapes and say the names.
Give each student a copy of the Sort 3D Shapes worksheet, and go over the worksheet with them.

Independent working time

(15 minutes)

Instruct your students to complete the worksheet.

Differentiation

Enrichment:

Have your students write the names of the shapes without referring to the name tags. Give them directions to make the folded shapes.

Support:

Help your students by writing the name of the shape with a highlighter, and have them draw 2D shapes on paper.

Assessment

(5 minutes)

Ask questions about the shapes, their names, and commonly seen objects in the environment.

Review and closing

(10 minutes)

Go over all of the shapes and their names.
Give each student a turn to match the shape to its name.
Ask your students to name common objects in a shape that you call out.
