Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

Variety of 3D shape models (plastic or foam shapes)
Shape sorting activity sheets
Whiteboard and markers
Glue and scissors
Large cardboard boxes or paper for building shapes
Worksheets for drawing shapes
Shape hunt checklist (for the environment activity)

20 students

Duration

30 minutes

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (minutes)	Details
1	Introduction to 3D Shapes	5	Begin with a brief discussion about what shapes are. Show models of 3D shapes and name them.
2	Shape Hunt Activity	10	Students will go on a mini shape hunt around the classroom or schoolyard using a checklist.
3	Group Discussion	5	Gather students and discuss the shapes they found. Ask questions to stimulate thought and engagement.
4	Shape Sorting Activity	5	Provide students with shape sorting sheets to match shapes with their names and images.
5	Hands-On Building Activity	5	In groups, students use cardboard boxes/paper to create their own versions of 3D shapes.
6	Review and Conclusion	5	Quickly review the 3D shapes learned. Reinforce the names and characteristics of each shape.

Homework

Students will be given a worksheet to draw their favourite 3D shape and write a sentence about where they see it in real life.
Homework should be checked at the next lesson without asking students to present it in front of the class to maintain a comfortable environment.

Assessment

Informal assessment during group discussions and activities based on participation and engagement.
Review homework for understanding and creativity.
