Standard:
o K.3.1.1 Recognize and sort basic
two-and three-dimensional
shapes; use them to model realworld objects.
Content Objective:
Language Objective:
Materials:
Patterned Blocks
Placemats
5 Tin Buckets
Colored Construction Paper
White Boards
White Board Markers
Shape Sorting Learning Center
Geometry Task Cards
Instructional Plan:
o Give each child a handful of
pattern blocks and a placemat.
Explain that these are called
patterned blocks, and allow
children time for guided
discovery.
o After children have had time to
explore the blocks, introduce the
five different shapes and colors of
the patterned block shapes
(triangle, square, rhombus,
trapezoid, hexagon). Have
students find blocks that match
the ones you hold up. Have
Getting Ready:
Teacher: One, two, three, eyes on
me! Class we are going to start our
math lesson and today we are going
to learn about patterned blocks.
Lets come together at the magic
carpet and we can begin.
Task:
(I Do)
Teacher: Kindergartners Im
handing each of you a placemat and
what is called patterned blocks.
Please keep your hands in your lap
until I say go and then you can
explore.
Evaluation:
o Informally observe which shapes
children can recognize and name
correctly, but do not expect that
all children can do this for all the
pattern-block shapes yet. If
students can complete the
geometry task cards at station
four, I will know they
comprehended the lesson.
o If students can participate in a
discussion with their partner
about how many sides, the color,
and what the name of one
particular shape is from the
lesson, I will know it was
successful.
