CUIN 3323 LESSON PLAN

Name: Jenna Lynch

Lesson Plan Title/grade level: Identifying the four main two-dimensional shapes/ Kindergarten

Objective(s): Given a shapes worksheet, the student will recall the names of a circle, square, triangle,
and rectangle and will correctly indicate each shape by coloring circles red, squares blue, triangles green,
and rectangles yellow.

TEKS/State Curriculum Standards: (6) Geometry and measurement. (A) Identify two dimensional
shapes, including circles, triangles, rectangles, and squares as a special rectangle.

Context for Learning:

In this class there are children of different abilities, religions, cultures, genders, and race. This lesson will
equally impact the learning on each diverse child. The lesson is intended for kindergarten students. This
lesson includes student engagement, integrating technology, group activities, and an individual
assignment. This variety of instruction will reach every type of learner in the class. The teacher will
participate with students and walk around to make sure every student is on task and following along.
Formative assessments will be given throughout the lesson and a summative assessment will be given
after the lesson.

Resources:

The Shapes, Shapes, Shapes! worksheet

White boards

Dry-erase markers

Crayons

Set Induction:

Orientation set- Together, the students and the teacher will read aloud the objective for the lesson.
Following that, the teacher will engage the students by showing the you-tube video, Meet the Shapes:
Triangle, Circle, Square, Rectangle (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObXk5Ofk4ac). After the
video, the teacher and students will discuss how we can relate these four shapes to real world objects and

pictures. The teacher will ask students to give some examples of a circle, triangle, square, and rectangle.
Together, everyone will discuss how the shapes differ from each other and what their characteristics are.

Methodology:

1. Show the you-tube video, Meet the Shapes: Triangle, Circle, Square, Rectangle
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObXk5Ofk4ac). After the video, explain how we can relate shapes
to real world objects and pictures. Ask students what are a few examples of a square, circle, triangle, and
rectangle. Discuss with the students on how each shape differs from one another and describe the
attributes of each shape.

2. Each student will receive an individual white board and a dry-erase marker. The teacher will
call out shapes in random order and the student will draw the shape on their white board and hold
it up for the teacher to check their understanding.

3. The class will get into groups of four. Each group will go on a classroom scavenger hunt
and find one example of each of the four shapes. The students will be given 15-20 minutes to
find their examples. When each group is done, the whole class will go over each example
together.

4. The students will complete a worksheet on shapes, Shapes, Shapes, Shapes! and turn it in
for the teacher to assess the students understanding.

Assessments:

Formative:

- Each student will receive a white board and marker. The teacher will ask students to draw a
specific shape and hold up their white board. The teacher will assess each white board to assure
that each student understands the content.
- The students will get into groups of four. Each group will go on a scavenger hunt and look for
things around the classroom that resembles each shape (square, circle, triangle, and rectangle).
After every group has one example of each shape, as a class, we will go over each example that
was found to determine if students correctly know the material.

Summative:

- The teacher will read the directions aloud, therefore every student is aware of the expectations.
Independently, students will correctly complete the worksheet on shapes (attached below).

Differentiation:

Gifted and Talented-

Students will be put into small groups (mixed in with all students) to go on a scavenger hunt
around the classroom to find an example of each shape and explain why they chose that particular
item for their example. When students complete the task, the GT student will have alternative
projects or assignments to complete. In order to challenge the students, the teacher will then ask
them what are some items that can be found outside of the school or at home that represent the
shapes.

English Language Learners-

This lesson will reach English Language Learners because it involves peer work therefore
students can help each other. The home language will be incorporated on document if needed.
Also, the teacher will incorporate ideas from the students home culture. Alternative vocabulary
or language on the assessment or work sheets will be provided as well.

Students with IEPs-

Student with IEPs will be supplied with larger print, extra time to complete tasks, more visuals,
and/or alternate vocabulary. The teacher will read the directions, questions, and answer choices
aloud for the entire class. This lesson is also a hands on lesson and allows students to work in
groups to aid each other.

With these modifications and instructional ideas, the teacher will be able to accommodate to each child in
their class to the best of their ability.

Closure:

Once the activities come to an end, the teacher will hand out one index card to each students.
Individually, the students will write how the information they learned is relevant to their lives and
examples of where they can see the different shapes in the world on one side, and what they predict the
lesson be on the next day on the other side. In order to gain participation, each students must turn in an
index card. On the next day, we will cover octagons, hexagons, and pentagons.

Reflection:

1. Was the instructional objective met, how do I know?

2. Did the lesson catch the students attention and interest?
3. Did I provide students with enough resources that were needed?
4. Was I successful in accommodating to all students?
