5-E MODEL LESSON PLAN

Teacher Name: Karen Bartnicki Subject Area: Mathematics

Lesson Title: Shapes and Solids 1st
TEKS
(6) Geometry and measurement. The student applies mathematical process standards to analyze attributes
of two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional solids to develop generalizations about their properties.
The student is expected to:
(A) classify and sort regular and irregular two-dimensional shapes based on attributes using informal
geometric language;
(B) distinguish between attributes that define a two-dimensional or three-dimensional figure and
attributes that do not define the shape;
(C) create two-dimensional figures, including circles, triangles, rectangles, and squares, as special
rectangles, rhombuses, and hexagons;
(D) identify two-dimensional shapes, including circles, triangles, rectangles, and squares, as special
rectangles, rhombuses, and hexagons and describe their attributes using formal geometric language;
(E) identify three-dimensional solids, including spheres, cones, cylinders, rectangular prisms (including
cubes), and triangular prisms, and describe their attributes using formal geometric language
ELPS
 Listening: 2.C Learn new language structures, expressions, and basic and academic vocabulary
heard during classroom instruction and interactions
 Speaking: 3.D Speak using grade-level content area vocabulary in context to internalize new
English words and build academic language proficiency 3.E Share information in cooperative
learning interactions 3.G Express opinions, ideas, and feelings ranging from communicating single
words and short phrases to participating in extended discussions on a variety of social and grade-
appropriate academic topics
 Reading: 4.F Use visual and contextual support and support from peers and teachers to read grade-
appropriate content area text, enhance and confirm understanding, and develop vocabulary, grasp of
language structures, and background knowledge needed to comprehend increasingly challenging
language
 Writing: 5.B Write using newly acquired basic vocabulary and content-based grade-level
vocabulary

Lesson Length

 Safety and Precautions Technology
Students must be supervised at all times and A minimum of 7 tablets for the Kahoot Online Game will
mainly when using electronic devices and clay. be required (or a computer lab if tablets are not available)
and an Elmo for teacher use during the Pyramid Game.
Gifted Students
Students will Peer Tutor a classmate in each task.
Special Needs Students
Students will be given extra time to finish each assignment or task without compromising their grades, they will
be allowed to go to Content Mastery, they have the option to work in groups or individually and work can also
be shortened.
ESL Students
Students will be given extra time to finish each assignment or task without compromising their grades and they
will have the option to work in groups or individually.
ENGAGE: Each pair of students will receive 4 sticks of clay. Teacher will write on the board the instructions:
“Use half of each stick of clay to build a square, cube, cylinder and circle. Use the other half of each stick of
clay to build a sphere, cone, rhombus and triangle. Teacher will monitor their thinking and prior knowledge as
she walks around the classroom during the activity. After 10 minutes, teacher will project the pictures on the
screen and will let them try again. Students will make connections and do better once they see the visual.
EXPLORE: Students will be given a worksheet to match the name of shape and solid with the picture and
color according to instructions. After they are done and have shown their work to the teacher, they will get in
groups to play the Pyramid Game. The teacher will draw a pyramid in the white board with ten levels and
students will try to reach to the last one to get extra points in the next formal assessment. Teacher will describe
the solid or shape in a sentence shown through the ELMO on the screen and each group will write down the
answer in a mini white board. The groups with the right answer will move up and the groups with wrong
answers will remain in the same level. There will only be a maximum of 10 descriptions, therefore 10 levels in
the pyramid, for a maximum amount of 10 points. At this point, when students have a wrong answer teacher
can scaffold for a better understanding.
EXPLAIN: Students will paste a handout in their notebooks that will be filled out by following a PowerPoint
Presentation explained by the teacher. After they finish this activity, students will get in groups. Using one
tablet per group, they will be shown how to go to kahoot.it which is an online game that contains made quizzes
by other teachers, or the option to create a new one. Kahoot also allows to place images for guidance. Students
will select an answer choice out of four to win points. The music that the program uses and its scoreboard offers
the students a feeling of competition. While they are playing the game, teachers have an opportunity to review
and clarify the material covered in the PowerPoint, worksheet, pyramid game and clay.
ELABORATE: Students will be given a reading passage about shapes and solids. The reading will contain key
vocabulary with pictures and definitions. Students will also receive a vocabulary template that needs to be
pasted in their notebooks. The table is divided in "Word, Picture and Definition". The words and definitions to
fill out this table will be taken out from the reading passage and the pictures will be cut and pasted. This activity
will be completed individually.
EVALUATE: Informal Assessment: Students will work on a "Build a House Project" during the weekend with
the help of their parents or any relatives. They will build a house using at least at least 5 two-dimensional
shapes and at least 5 three-dimensional solids and place it on a hard surface. They can use any crafting supplies
(with adult supervision) such as clay, popsicle sticks, toothpicks, cardboard, styrofoam, foam sheets, etc.
Students will be graded based on a holistic rubric as they present their final product. Formal Assessment:
Students will match pictures and definitions with different types of shapes and solids.
Conclusion of the Lesson
Students must have learned how to identify and classify two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional solids
and describe their properties.
