7E Lesson Plan: Exploring Shapes

Grade Level: K-2 Duration: 45-60 minutes Topic: Introduction to 2D Shapes

Materials Needed

 Various shape cutouts (circles, squares, triangles, rectangles)

 Shape flashcards

 Chart paper or whiteboard

 Colored markers

 Shape hunt worksheet

 Construction paper

 Scissors

 Glue

 Shape sorting mats

Objectives

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

1. Identify and name basic 2D shapes (circle, square, triangle, rectangle)

2. Describe basic properties of each shape

3. Find examples of shapes in their environment

4. Create pictures using different shapes

7E Learning Cycle

1. Elicit

 Begin by asking students: "What shapes do you know?"

 Have students share their prior knowledge by naming shapes they're familiar with

 Record responses on chart paper or whiteboard

 Ask students to describe what makes each shape unique

 Question: "How do you know something is a circle/square/triangle/rectangle?"

2. Engage

 Gather students in a circle on the carpet

 Show a "mystery bag" containing various shape cutouts

 Pull out one shape at a time, asking students to identify it


 Lead students in a "Shape Song" (to the tune of "If You're Happy and You Know It"):

o "If you see a shape with 3 sides, it's a triangle!"

o "If you see a shape with 4 equal sides, it's a square!"

o "If you see a shape that's round with no corners, it's a circle!"

o "If you see a shape with 4 sides, 2 long and 2 short, it's a rectangle!"

3. Explore

 Divide students into small groups

 Distribute shape sorting mats and collections of shape cutouts

 Have students sort shapes according to their properties

 Circulate and ask guiding questions:

o "How many sides does this shape have?"

o "Does this shape have corners? How many?"

o "Are all the sides the same length or different?"

 After sorting, lead a "Shape Hunt" around the classroom

 Students use worksheets to record shapes they find in the environment

4. Explain

 Gather students back together

 Create a class chart of shape properties:

o Circle: round, no corners, no straight sides

o Square: 4 equal sides, 4 corners

o Triangle: 3 sides, 3 corners

o Rectangle: 4 sides (2 pairs of equal sides), 4 corners

 Model correct mathematical vocabulary (sides, corners, equal, straight, curved)

 Have students share discoveries from their Shape Hunt

 Discuss real-world examples of each shape

5. Elaborate

 Students return to their tables for a shape art activity

 Provide construction paper, scissors, and glue

 Challenge students to create a picture using only the shapes they've learned
 Encourage students to use multiple shapes and colors

 Extension: Have advanced students create patterns with their shapes

6. Evaluate

 Gather students for a gallery walk of their shape artwork

 Students take turns explaining which shapes they used in their creations

 Informal assessment through observation:

o Can students correctly identify shapes?

o Do they understand basic properties of each shape?

o Can they apply their knowledge in creative ways?

 Quick formative assessment: Show a shape, have students show thumbs up/down for various
properties ("Show thumbs up if this shape has 4 corners")

7. Extend

 Provide differentiated extension activities:

o Shape riddles: "I have 4 equal sides and 4 corners. What am I?"

o Shape scavenger hunt at home (homework)

o Introduction to 3D shapes (cube, sphere, cylinder) for advanced learners

o Shape pattern creation and identification

o Shape books for reading center

Assessment

 Formative: Observations during activities, responses during discussions

 Summative: Shape identification quiz, shape property matching worksheet

Accommodations/Modifications

 Visual learners: Extra visual supports, color-coding for different shapes

 Tactile learners: Provide textured shapes to touch and feel

 Language support: Picture cards paired with shape names

 Advanced learners: Introduce more complex shapes (hexagon, trapezoid)

Reflection Notes

(To be completed after teaching the lesson)

 Which activities were most engaging?


 What misconceptions did students have?

 How well did students meet the objectives?

 What changes would improve the lesson next time?
