Lesson Structure

Step Number Step Title Length (mins) Details
1 Introduction 5 Introduce the topic of shapes. Briefly discuss the importance of shapes in everyday life. Use visual aids to engage students.
2 Shape Identification 10 Present various 2D and 3D shapes using flashcards. Ask students to identify and describe each shape's properties (sides, angles, edges, etc.).
3 Group Activity 10 Divide students into small groups. Give them worksheets to classify and draw shapes. Provide modeling clay for them to create 3D shapes.
4 Class Discussion 3 Ask each group to share their findings. Facilitate a discussion on different shapes and their characteristics.
5 Conclusion 2 Summarize key points about shapes and their properties. Reiterate the importance of shapes in math and real life.
6 Homework Assignment 0 Assign students a shape-finding mission at home. Instruct them to find and photograph different shapes in their environment. Submit photos for review.

Homework

Students will conduct a shape-finding mission in their home and photograph various shapes they encounter (e.g., doors, windows, books). They will submit their photos along with a short description of each shape's properties. Homework will be checked based on submission, with feedback provided individually rather than in front of the class.
