Date: Lesson 2
I. Objectives
What is the main focus of this lesson?
The main focus of this lesson is how different shapes come together to create new shapes. (this goes
along with tessellations, symmetry, and similarities)
How does this lesson tie in to a unit plan? (If applicable.)
This lessons builds off of the past one. We take our knowledge of shape attributes and characteristics and
tie them into creating new shapes with many different shapes.
What are your objectives for this lesson? (As many as needed.) Indicate connections to
applicable national or state standards. If an objective applies to only certain students write the
name(s) of the student(s) to whom it applies.
I can.
Distinguish between defining attributes (e.g., triangles are closed and three-sided) versus nondefining attributes (e.g., color, orientation, overall size); build and draw shapes to possess
defining attributes.

N/A The classroom will be set up as it usually is. We will be having a math
workshop time, so the students will be moving around the room to different
stations throughout math time.
The description of (script for) the lesson, wherein you describe teacher
activities and student activities
Begin
Ask the students if they can see any similarities and differences between the
shapes.
Put the foam letter manipulatives under the ELMO
Are there any patterns we see with these shapes?
Developm
ent
Have some students come up to the ELMO and show what other shapes are creating
a different shape.
Example: triangles making a hexagon, squares making a rectangle,
pentagons making a hexagon, half circles making a circle.
Then introduce the activity to the students as well as the other rotations/centers.
After they have an idea of what to expect at each station, gradually release them to
their first rotations.
Leveled Group:
High
o Go over completed activity sheet
o 3D shapes introduction
o Fill out large poster
Anchor chart on the faces, vertices, and edges of 3D shapes.
o Vertices, faces, edges
Vocabulary introduction.
Middle
o Shapes that make other shapes
o Original shape
What were the original shapes we used to create the new
shape?
o What new shapes can we make?
o Activity Sheet
Introduce it and begin it together. Then release them to work
on it independently.
Low
o Shape attribute review
What is a square? Rectangles? Triangle? Circle?
o Draw a shape with ____________(fill in characteristic)
Show me a shape with 3 sides.
o Shapes that make other shapes
Using manipulatives
o Activity sheet
Introduce it and begin it together. Then release them to work
on it independently.

Activity:
See worksheets attached
A bell will be the sign of center changes, and the students should have their voices
at a whisper or completely off.
At the end of the lesson, we will come back together and go over the I can
statements we began the lesson with. We will then share 3 things we learned, 2
things we found interesting, and 1 question we still have.
Closure
Then we will add our I can statements to our learned portion of the KWL.
Then we will put our materials away and prepare ourselves to go to one of our
specials.
