Title
2D AND 3D SHAPES
Lesson Overview
This lesson is to designed to scaffold off the students prior knowledge of shapes. The
students will learn the difference between flat and solid shapes, ultimately labeling
them as two/three dimensional. Once they understand the difference, they students
will be able to identify these shapes in a real-world context. To assess their
understanding, worksheets will be provided, in which the students choose whether a
particular shape is two-dimensional or three-dimensional.
Central Focus (Enduring Understandings)
Students know how to identify between 2D and 3D shapes in a real-world context.
Essential Question(s)
How do you test between 2D and 3D objects?
How do you identify real-world objects as 2D or 3D shapes?
Content Standard(s)/Benchmark
Standard/Common Core

Benchmark
-Identify shapes as twodimensional (lying in plane,
flat) or three-dimensional
(solid)
Performance Indicator
Using the worksheet provided,
the students will accurately
place the shapes under the
proper column.

Instructional Strategies and Learning Tasks
1) Students will first name different 2D shapes like circles, squares, triangles etc.
Pull up the worksheet on the smartboard and start by putting facilitators first
and last name and date. Do the first problem and explain to students that we
will be sorting the two different 2D and 3D objects in two different columns.
Remind students that we will be cutting out on the lines of the different objects
and gluing it to the worksheet that has the columns 2D and 3D. Remind
students of the rule for gluing, dot, dot, not a lot. Allow the paper passers to
pass out the paper to every desk and have students transition to their desks
quickly and quietly.
10) As students complete their work, monitor students learning and ask questions
regarding their work. If necessary, allow struggling students to work with you
on the back table.

Lesson Plan Reflection
Next time, I would like to change the lesson by incorporating more of the 3D objects names in
my lesson. I feel that the students still had trouble of naming their 3D shape and had to keep
referencing to the anchor chart. I would also like to change my lesson by allowing students to
discuss in small groups since it was difficult for students to pay attention when each individual
student was talking because they were easily distracted with other things around them.
My next steps for teaching are to give students the opportunity to learn more about 3D
objects. I would like to teach students how many points does each shape have, what are the
names of each shape, and what 2D shapes can be seen in the 3D object. This will hopefully
allow students to remember the names of the 3D shapes.
