Module 2 Lesson Plan: Content Area

This document provides a lesson plan for a kindergarten geometry lesson on identifying shapes. The 25-minute lesson will use a smart board to do a pre-assessment and post-assessment of students' ability to identify and match shapes. During the lesson, students will use the smart board, iPads, textbooks, and shape games to practice identifying shapes. The teacher will record student assessments on the smart board and post them to the class blog for parents to view. The lesson aims to help students meet state standards around identifying, describing, analyzing, and comparing two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes.

Module 2 Lesson Plan

Identifying shapes using a Smart board to record and put in Blog


Miss. Bests Kindergarten Class
Mason Elementary
Lesson Duration: 25 Minutes
Pre-Assessment: Start a shapes worksheet/assessment- assess ability
Post-Assessment: Individual testing on the smart board- identifying and
matching
Resources and Tools: Grade level textbooks, Smartboard recordings,
iPads, and Shape games
Pros: Students can use the smartboard to assess skills, and can record
themselves to show to parents.
Cons: Students might feel pressured and might feel embarrassed

Grade:

Kindergarten Math

Domain:

Geometry

Cluster: - Identifying and describing shapes


- Analyze, compose, create, and compare shapes
Standards:

1. Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe


the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of,
behind, and next to.
2. Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.
3. Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, flat) or three-dimensional (solid).
4. Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and
orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g.,
number of sides and vertices/corners) and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal
length).
5. Model shapes in the world by building shapes from components (e.g., sticks and clay
balls) and drawing shapes.

6. Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes. For example, Can you join these two
triangles with full sides touching to make a rectangle?

NETS-T- Design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate


digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity
Develop technology-enriched environments that enable all students to
pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in
setting their own educational goals; manage their own learning and
assessing their own progress.

Shape Games
Procedure: The lesson is on identifying shapes. I have 6
different ability levels ranging from k-3rd grade. The story
problems will be geared toward those individual ability levels.
The teacher will introduce on the Smartboard and the students
will interact by taking turns coming up to the board. After that,
The teacher will give a formative assessment after the lesson
is introduced. She will do one on one at the Smartboard. She
will record the students using the Smartboard record and then
post the recording to the class Blog. The student can refer
back to the recording when home doing homework. While the
teacher is doing the one on one, the other students will be

practicing rounding using the Mathnook games on the iPads.


They could access these games at home for practice too.
Instructional: Group Introduction, Smartboard interaction, Individual
formative assessment, Parent HW- Classroom worksheet, use recorded
assessment for reference
Use shapes collected from students to begin the investigation into
basic properties and characteristics of two- and three-dimensional
shapes. Have students analyze and compare each shape with other
objects in the classroom and describe the similarities and differences
between the shapes. Ask students to describe the shapes while the
teacher records key descriptive words in common student language.
Students need to use the word flat to describe two- dimensional
shapes and the word solid to describe three-dimensional shapes.
Use the sides, faces and vertices of shapes to practice counting and
reinforce the concept of one-to-one correspondence.
The teacher and students orally describe and name the shapes found
on a Shape Hunt. Students draw a shape and build it using materials
regularly kept in the classroom such as construction paper, clay,
wooden sticks or straws.
Students can use a variety of manipulative and real-world objects to
build larger shapes with these and other smaller shapes: squares,
circles, triangles, rectangles, hexagons, cubes, cones, cylinders, and
spheres. Kindergarteners can manipulate cardboard shapes, paper
plates, pattern blocks, tiles, canned food, and other common items.
Have students compose (build) a larger shape using only smaller
shapes that have the same size and shape. The sides of the smaller
shapes should touch and there should be no gaps or overlaps within
the larger shape. For example, use one-inch squares to build a larger
square with no gaps or overlaps. Have students also use different
shapes to form a larger shape where the sides of the smaller shapes
are touching and there are no gaps or overlaps. Ask students to
describe the larger shape and the shapes that formed it.
In my classroom, the students will be trying to conduct a series of
different shapes and identifying them.

Differenation: All levels and ways of learning can be modified in my


classroom. They can either be simplified or may be more complex
depending on the direction the student may need to go.
Homework: Complete Worksheet at home with a parent, and return the
sheet the next day in the agenda with parents initials.
The lesson will be posted on my website!
