Francis Marion University Lesson Plan

By: Hayley Pate

DAY: 4/15/16 SUBJECT: Math TIME: 8:10 to 8:55

TOPIC: 2D and 3D shapes UNIT TITLE: Geometry

STANDARD(S)/OBJECTIVE(S)/ASSESSMENT(S):
STANDARD(S)/INDICATOR(S):
K.G.5 Draw two-dimensional shapes (i.e., square, rectangle, triangle, hexagon, and circle) and
create models of three-dimensional shapes (i.e., cone, cube, cylinder, and sphere).

OBJECTIVE(S): Students will be able to create models of two-dimensional and three-

dimensional shapes.

ASSESSMENT DETAILS: Students will create 3D shapes using marshmallows and

toothpicks. They will create a 2D triangle and square and a 3D pyramid and cube. And they will
answer questions about what they created.

CRITERIA FOR MASTERY OF ASSESSMENT(S): Students will be able to create a 2D

triangle and square, 3D pyramid and cube (100% accuracy)

KEY VOCABULARY/CONCEPTS:
2-Dimensional (2D): a flat shape
3-Dimensional (3D): a shape that looks realistic
Edges: where 2 surfaces meet
Points: the pointed corners of a shape
Faces: the flat surfaces/sides of a shape

MATERIALS:
TEACHER MATERIALS NEEDED:
Smart Board
2D printed shapes
3D inflatable shapes
Worksheets (to give students)
Pencils, scissors and glue (to give students)
Tooth picks and marshmallows (to give students)

STUDENT MATERIALS NEEDED:

Independent practice worksheet
Pencil
Scissors
Glue
Tooth picks
Marshmallows
STEP BY STEP PROCEDURES:
INTRODUCTION:
Attention Getter:
Watch a youtube video about 3D shapes.

Lesson overview with a focus on the lessons expected learning outcomes: In todays
lesson I will teach students about 2D and 3D shapes. They will learn the names of the
shapes and the difference between 2D and 3D.
Activation of prior knowledge/Follow-up instruction: Before this lesson, students have
learned their regular 2D shapes and know them.
Purpose for learning todays skill:
Relevance of todays skill to the students:
Expectations for student learning and behavior:
I expect students to listen quietly, not to talk when I am talking.
I expect students to sit in their spot on the rug.
I expect students to follow my directions.
I expect students to use materials appropriately.

LESSON DEVELOPMENT:
Modeling:
I will have examples of laminated 2D shapes to show and talk about with the students. I
will also have examples of 3D inflatable shapes.
Guided Practice:
I will have an interactive computer game about 3D shapes pulled up on the smart board,
which has 3Dshapes that move around and asks you to click on a specific shape. I will
control the computer mouse, land on random shapes and ask Is this the (shape)?

Independent Practice: Students will independently complete a worksheet, where they
will cut out shapes and glue them in the correct category.

ASSESSMENT/CLOSURE:
Assessment: Students will create 3D shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks. They
will create a 2D triangle and square and a 3D pyramid and cube.
Closure:
Summary of lesson: I will ask students questions about the lesson to refresh their
memory, like What 3d shapes did we make today? I will hope cut outs of 2D shapes
and ask them What is this shape called? (The answer I am looking for is a triangle and
a square, because I want them to know the names of these 2D shapes and not to confuse
them with the names of 3D shapes.) I will hold up 3D shapes and ask for the names of
those as well. ( To make sure students know the difference between a triangle and a
pyramid and a square and a cube.)
Connections to future lessons: We will learn about more 3D shapes another day.

SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS:
RATES OF LEARNING/ABILITY LEVELS:

Tasks for early finishers: I will have a work sheet where students can circle the 3D
 shapes out of pictures of 2D and 3D shapes.
Provisions for those who need more time: Students who do not finish, eill have
more time to finish while the other students are at center.

LEARNING STYLES:

VISUAL: This lesson is good for visual learners because they get to see the 3D shapes in
person.

AUDITORY: This lesson is good for auditory learners because students get to hear me
talk about the characteristics of a pyramid and cube.

KINESTHETIC: This lesson is very good for kinesthetic learners because they get to
build 3D shapes. Its very hands on.

SPECIAL NEEDS:

IEP: none

504: none
