INTASC Principle 4
My Artifact:
Every lesson taught is provided in many different styles, there are visuals, audio, hands-on and many more ways for student to experience learning. The best technique is incorporating all different mediums into each lesson.
Unit Title: Crafts & Games in Education Lesson Topic: Matching Shapes
Academic Content Standard(s): 2.9 Geometry; 2.9.3A Name and label geometric shapes in two and three dimensions and 2.9.3.B Build geometric shapes using concrete objects,
Interdisciplinary Connections: Art
Objective: Students will be able to identify and construct geometric shapes.
Methods & Application: Model & Application.
Resources: Plastic straws (short, long, wide, tiny), Paper clips, Wooden blocks, different shapes
Introduction: (10 minutes)
*Motivational Device- Hold up wooden block, show children al blocks.
Allow the children to pass around wooden blocks, to touch and
look at them.
*Prior Knowledge-
Hold up wooden block:
What shape is this?
Good! Give block to child who answers correctly.
What other shapes make up that cube? Give another block to the child
who answers correctly.
*Relevance to Learning- This will help students review shapes learned in
previous lessons and build upon the same concepts.
*Objective- Students will be able to identify geometric shapes in two and
three dimensions and build shapes using concrete objects.
Content: (25 minutes)
Students will construct geometric shapes and demonstrate concepts of two dimension shapes and how they build into three dimension shapes.
1) Demonstrate construction of two dimension shapes.
2) Demonstrate construction of three dimension shapes.
3) Illustrate the relationship of two dimension shapes in building upon them to
create three dimension shapes.
4) Students will compare their shapes with one another.
5) Students will convert squares into cubes, circles into sphere, rectangles into
prisms, and triangles into pyramids.
Differentiated Learning Activities:
Enrichment activity identifying the shapes they have created in other objects in the classroom and outside the classroom.
Summary: (10 minutes)
Restate - Students will be able to identify and create two dimension and three dimension shapes.
Have planned activity~ Show two spheres (rectangles, pyramids, triangles) of
different size. Are these the same shapes? How do you know they’re the
same shape? How are they different? What other shapes make up this shape?
Mention future activity~ Students will create a game which purpose is to review
and teach shapes to others.
