2. Content-
|
| In this lesson, students will effectively distinguish the difference
between various types of shapes (task completed by counting the number
of sides). Students will color-coordinate and cut them out on the
worksheets provided. |
| |
|
3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
|
1. Students will be able to complete this activity in a timely,
orderly manner.
2. Students will work cooperatively to help one another if questions
arise.
3. Students will put materials in the correct location after their
use is satisfied.
4. Students will follow all of the directions given. |

|
4. Objectives-
|
1. Students will be able to identify the following shapes by deciphering
the number of sides (where applicable) or the familiarity: circle,
square, hexagon, diamond, triangle, and heart.
2. Students will be able to color the shapes with Crayons according
to how the object appears to them in real life. (Example: Heart =
red)
3. Students will be able to effectively utilize safe-end scissors
without hurting themselves. They will carry the scissors back to their
seats, holding the blades together, facing toward the floor so the
handle is facing up to the ceiling. Students understand this is safe
so their friends do not get hurt.
4. Students will be able to quickly identify one of the shapes listed
above if shown one at a quick moment.
5. Students will utilize these shapes as Flashcards and quiz their
partners throughout the next week. |

|
5. Materials and Aids-
|
| Students will need: Worksheets provided by teacher (one large shape
on each sheet with a black outline of it - simple), Safe-end scissors,
12-pack of Crayons. |
| |
|
6. Procedures/Methods-
|
|
A. Introduction-
1. Introduce the topic by asking, "What is a shape?"
2. Also ask, "How do we decide what is a shape and what isn't?" |
| |
|
|
B. Development-
1. The next step is to show the students the handout and have a
class discussion on the various shapes.
2. Ask the class easy ways to remember the shapes.
3. Explain to the students what is going to be completed for class
today. (Color and cut out shapes). |
| |
|
|
C. Practice-
1. The next step is to pass out the 6 sheets of paper per student
and the crayons.
2. Students will color all of the shapes and perhaps work on their
alphabet and write the name of the shape on the back (white side)
so it can be utilized as a flashcard. The words will be spelled on
the board.
3. Once the student has completed the coloring and the writing, they
will come up to the supply desk and pick up a pair of scissors and
carry them safely in the correct manner back to their seats. |

|
|
D. Independent Practice-
1. The teacher will walk around and ask the student questions such
as, "Why did you pick the color blue for the square, Johnny?"

aspect of the lesson. |

and ask the students to put their supplies away and continue the group
discussion on shapes.
|
| |
|
|
Closure-
1. The group discussion on shapes will consist of the colors used,
the cutting job with "cutting on the lines," and their handwriting
and spelling.
2. The teacher will hold up his/her set of shapes and quiz the class
and ask them to raise their hand to answer the shape name. Some new
shapes will be introduced at this time. This will allow students to
ponder about the new shapes until the next class. |
