y (Identifying 2D shapes- Real world connections) Curriculum Standard Addressed Domain: Geometry Cluster: Identify and describe shapes (circles, squares, triangles, rectangles, hexagons, cubes, cylinders, and spheres). Standard: K.G.1. Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative position of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to. ELA-Literacy.SL.K.1a. Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions (e.g., listening to others and taking turns speaking about the topics and texts under discussion). ELA-Literacy. SL.K.2. Confirm understanding of a text read aloud or information presented orally or through other media by asking and answering questions about key details and requesting clarification if something is not understood. Lesson Objectives The students will be able to identify 2D shapes based on their attributes. The students will be able to make connections between shapes and real world objects. The students will continue to develop listening skills. Students will display understanding by asking and answering questions. Connection to Student Background Knowledge Having a whole class discussion will give me an idea of the students prior knowledge of basic shapes. We will make connections with shapes and objects in the environment based on their prior knowledge. Assessment for lesson objectives Prior to teaching the unit a pre-assessment will be given that will have students identify and describe shapes, and make connections to real world objects. This assessment will be done through observation and discussion. Assessment through observation and discussion will be ongoing. A formative assessment will also be given in which students will have to draw a line to match shapes of different orientation. Model(s) of instruction used Whole class discussion- guided practice-teacher center-student centered Level of Understanding (e.g. Blooms Taxonomy) Blooms Taxonomy X Knowledge / Pre-assess prior knowledge X Comprehension / discuss material read by the teacher. Giving examples of real world objects.

Differentiated Instruction This lesson is appropriate for learners of various levels; however my lowest level learner will be given hand over hand assistance for tracing shapes if needed. Students who are reluctant to participate will be prompted in answering questions and encouraged to participate in activities. Reading Strategy Teacher will read aloud and students will think-pair-share when appropriate. Teacher will ask comprehension questions during the reading to ensure students understanding. Prompting will be provided for reluctant students. Technology Use Elmo Instruction Computer- video www.youtube.com Harrys Kindergarten Shapes

Procedure: 1. Pre-assessment discussion regarding prior knowledge about shapes in the environment, and objects that they are familiar with. Students will identify shapes when they are held up. Observation and discussion will be done as a pre-assessment. Discuss shapes and their attributes. Read book Mouse Shapes by Ellen Stoll Walsh. Discuss the story as it is read to check for comprehension, and to encourage thinking skills. Students will be given dry erase markers and will trace shapes. Students will listen to and watch video on www.youtube.com

Standard: K.G.1. Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative position of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to. Standard: K.G.2. Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientation or overall size. ELA-Literacy.W.K.2. Use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to compose informative/explanatory texts in which they name what they are writing about and supply some information about the topic. ELA-Literacy.SL.K.1a. Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions (e.g., listening to others and taking turns speaking about the topics and texts under discussion). ELA-Literacy. SL.K.2. Confirm understanding of a text read aloud or information presented orally or through other media by asking and answering questions about key details and requesting clarification if something is not understood. Lesson Objectives The students will be able to identify 2D shapes based on their attributes. The students will be able to identify shapes regardless of their size or orientation. The students will use verbal clues to draw and color shapes in their math journals. Students will display understanding by asking and answering questions. Connection to Student Background Knowledge Now that students have been exposed to shapes in the previous lesson, we will continue our discussion on shapes that we see in our environment. Students will use shapes to create pictures. Assessment for lesson objectives The assessment will be done through observation as they work at various labs, class discussion, and their ability to correctly name the shapes on the worksheet that will be completed prior to the lesson on the following day.

Model(s) of instruction used Teacher centered Student centered Guided practice Level of Understanding (e.g. Blooms Taxonomy) Knowledge / Pre-assess prior knowledge Comprehension / Group discussion. Giving examples of real world objects. Application / Labs Analysis / Compare and contrast Synthesis / Creating with shapes Evaluation / Group discussion/journal writing Differentiated Instruction This lesson is appropriate for learners of various levels; however my lowest level learner will be given more one on one direction in completing their math journal. Students will be working in groups while in labs. This will maximize learning for all students. Above level students will be encouraged to draw additional shapes and their number of sides in their math journal. Students who are reluctant to participate will be prompted in answering questions and encouraged to participate in activities. Reading Strategy Reading Strategies: Teacher will ask comprehension questions to ensure students understanding. Prompting will be provided for reluctant students. Creating a T-chart of shapes covered. While writing in their math journals the students will use strategies such as drawing pictures, making lines, and using resources around the room for words they cannot spell. Technology Use Elmo-Instruction Community Resources www.teachingchannel.org Public Library Materials Materials: Paper for T-chart.

Procedures: 1. Pre-assessment discussion regarding prior knowledge about shapes in the environment, and objects that they are familiar with. Teacher will hold up shapes and call on students to name them, and their number of sides. Students will do a shape matching worksheet that will serve as a formative assessment for the prior days instruction. (During MTSS time) Teacher and students will create a T-chart with learned shapes and attributes. Students will participate in labs that will allow them to practice what they are learning about shapes and their attributes. Trace the shape lab Zap (shape game) Foam shapes (used to make creative pictures from shapes) Pattern blocks and picture templates Students will draw shapes in their math journals and write the name for each.
