GENERAL INFORMATION Name: Elizabeth Fiedler Lesson Title: Introduction & Review of 3-D shapes Grade level(s)/Course: Sophomores Date taught: March 25 INFORMATION ABOUT THE LESSON Content Standards: G.MG.1: Use geometric shapes, their measures, and their properties to describe objects (e.g., modeling a tree trunk or a human torso as a cylinder). Enduring Understanding and/or Essential Question: Visualizing and thinking about shapes in 3-Dimensional space help students structure their thinking about real-world objects. Instructional Objectives: After reviewing common three-dimensional shapes, students will begin to discuss what shapes they see in the world around them and why it is important to know properties of 3-D shapes. Prior Learning/Prior Thinking The students have encountered 3-D shapes in previous classes. We will be reviewing what they have learned to set up for the rest of the unit. They will have prior knowledge with 3-D shapes and 2-D shapes. They will also know what the face of a shape is. LESSON IMPLEMENTATION Anticipatory Set/Elicit Prior Knowledge Start the PowerPoint and ask the question What is 3-D? What does it mean if something is in 3D? Let the students share their answers and ideas. Focus/Purpose Statement Everything around us is made up of 3-Dimensional shapes. We study these shapes in class so that we can better understand how they apply to the objects in the world around us.
Classroom Management/Democratic Practices Because this is a lecture class, students will be expected to listen quietly and pay attention to the PowerPoint and the review of 3-D shapes.
