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}

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction to Shapes	5 min	Explain the importance of shapes in everyday life. Introduce 2D and 3D shapes.
2	Shape Identification	10 min	Use flashcards to teach students to identify various shapes and their properties.
3	Group Activity	10 min	Divide students into groups. Have them create shape posters, including examples and properties.
4	Individual Practice	5 min	Distribute worksheets for students to practice identifying and classifying shapes.
5	Review and Wrap-Up	5 min	Go over the worksheet answers as a class, clarify any misunderstandings. Ensure homework is collected for feedback.

Homework

• Assign students a worksheet that requires them to find and classify shapes in their home environment, drawing examples and noting their properties.

Assessment

• Monitor student participation during group activities and discussions.
• Review completed worksheets for understanding of shapes and properties without student presentations. Provide feedback individually later.
