| Summary | The students were introduced to 2D shapes. They worked together to be investigators finding objects around the room that matched the shapes they learned. They also worked with geo boards to practice making various shapes. |
| Vocabulary | |
| STANDARDS AND DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION: |
| Standards | 2.G.A.1. Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes, such as a given number of angles or a given number of equal faces. Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes. (Sizes are compared directly or visually, not compared by measuring.) |
| Differentiated Instruction | During the time they are making the shapes on the geo boards, the students who need more assistance will receive help from me one-on-one. The students who are advanced will be helping students who need assistance.
|
| EEI (ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF INSTRUCTION) - LESSON PLAN ELEMENTS REQUIRED |
| Objective | The students will be able to define geometry and know what 2D shapes are. |
| Anticipatory Set | Informing the students I have a problem and need their assistance by being detectives and helping me create a list of 2D shapes found around the classroom. |
| Teach Lesson/Model | I will introduce the topic of the lesson. The students will be asked if they know what we study in math that deals with shapes. I will have the definitions on the board and go over them with the students. I will then inform the students of the problem that I have; which is that I had made a list of 2D shapes, but lost it. Therefore, I need their help in finding various 2D shapes around the classroom. They will then become detectives and help me. I will inform them of which shapes to find by showing them a video. After being informed of a shape, the students will work with their table partner to find that specific shape and write it on their paper. This same process will be conducted until all the shapes have been found. Once they have found examples of all the shapes, I will have the students tell me their examples and I will make a new list on the board. After completing the list, I will show them the poster of the various shapes and how many sides they have. I will say the name of the shape along with the number of sides it has. The students will then repeat the name of the shape and the number of sides it has. The students will then receive geo boards and rubber-bands to practice making the shapes on the poster with their table partners. They will have time to quiz each other about the shapes’ names and how many sides the shapes have. At the end I will ask students what they have learned about geometry during the lesson.
|
| Guided Practice | Students are taught the shapes and sides they have. The students will work along with the video to be informed of the shapes needing to be found. Assistance will be given during practice time with the geo boards on how to make certain shapes.
|
| Independent Practice | |
| Closure | Review what was learned about geometry and continue practicing making the shapes on the geo boards. |
| Evaluation Assessment/Rubrics | Informal observation: Students finding the shape examples around the room during the video. Students practicing making the shapes on the geo boards. Students answering what was learned about 2D shapes.
