circle in shape”

“Can you give other examples of things around (the children will give examples)
your environment that is circle in shape?”

“very good!”

“now lets go to the next shape triangle”

“triangle has three sides.”

“I’ll show you some picture of things you see

in your environment that is triangle in shape”
 “now, can you give me some examples of (the children will give examples)
things that are triangle in shape”

“okay kids very good!”

“the last that I will dicuss is square.”

“I have here a box.”

(the teacher will let the children examine the

box)

“This box is an example of a square because it

has four equal sides.”

“I have here pictures for more examples of

square”

(the teacher will show some pictures)

(the children will give examples)

“now, can you give me again another
examples of things that are square?”
C. GENERALIZATION

“The shapes we tackled today are; circle,

triangle and square”

“circle has no sides and circle is also called as

round”

“the next is the triangle. It has three sides”

“and lastly, the square. It has four equal

“as you look around to your environment you

can notice that shapes are everywhere”

V. Assignment

Cut some pictures of the basic shapes you can see inside your house and paste it in your
