1. Topic-
Geometric Shapes
 
2. Content-
Identifying Geometric Shapes in the Real World
cube
cylinder
hexagonal prism
sphere
square prism
hemisphere
square pyramid
octagonal prism
cone
triangular prism
rectangular prism
 
3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
1.Students will identify shapes by their attributes.
2.Students will match real world objects to the identified geometric shapes.
3.Students will relate real life to math and vice versa.
 
4. Objectives-
1.03-S4-C1-PO3. Identify and describe 3-dimensional figures including their relationship to real world objects: sphere, cube, cone, cylinder, pyramids, and rectangular prisms.
2.Students will observe geometric solids and share ideas about attributes.
3.Students will relate geometric shapes to real objects.
 
5. Materials and Aids-
1 set of Geometric Solids per table
Workbook pages 3-7
Magazines or pictures
 
6. Procedures/Methods-

A. Introduction-

Whole Class
1.Review discussion of attributes of geometric shapes (faces, edges, vertices.)
2.Introduce names of geometric shapes in each set.
 

B. Development-

Whole Class
1.Discuss difference between prisms and pyramids.
2.Using cube, discuss the attributes.
3.Brainstorm real life objects that are the shape of a cube. (box)
 

C. Practice-

Small Groups
1.Students explore geometric shapes and discuss attributes.
2.Students discuss real life objects similar to the geometric shapes.
 

D. Independent Practice-

Individual
1.Students open workbooks to page 3.
2.Students write names of real life objects that are the listed geometric shapes.
 

E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-

1.magazines/books to find pictures of real objects
2.partner some students
 

F. Checking for understanding-

Teacher Observation (During Lesson)
1.Listen to comments and ideas from students.
2.Observe student's workbook pages.
 

G. Closure-

Whole Class
1.Pick up shape and call on students to tell one attribute, taking turns.
2.Name a real life object and ask students to name the shape.
 
7. Evaluation-
1.Are all students able to give an example of one object in relation to a shape?
2.Ticket Out: On way to lunch today have student give one attribute or example for a shape you show them.
