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 plan

Lesson Plan: Introduction to Basic Shapes

Subject:

Mathematics

Topic:

Basic Shapes

Grade/Age Group:

Preschool / Nursery (Ages 3-5)

Length of Lesson:

30 minutes

Number of Students:

20

Objectives:

• Students will be able to identify and name basic shapes: circle, square, triangle, and rectangle.
• Students will understand the concept of shape recognition and differentiation.
• Students will engage in a hands-on activity to reinforce the understanding of shapes.

Materials:

• Shape cutouts (circle, square, triangle, rectangle)
• A large drawing pad or whiteboard
• Crayons or markers
• Shape sorting toys (if available)
• Picture books featuring shapes

Lesson Structure:

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction to Shapes	5 min	Introduce the topic by showing shape cutouts. Ask students to name the shapes.
2	Shape Discussion	5 min	Discuss each shape briefly, explaining their properties and where they can be found in the real world.
3	Shape Coloring Activity	10 min	Distribute crayons and drawing pads. Instruct students to draw and color their favorite shape.
4	Shape Sorting Game	5 min	Use shape sorting toys, if available. Allow students to work individually or in pairs to sort the shapes.
5	Wrap-Up & Review	5 min	Review all the shapes learned. Ask students to share their colored shapes without presenting them formally.

Homework:

• Assign students to identify and draw one shape they find at home. This will be checked individually during the next lesson without a formal presentation.

National Curriculum Alignment:

• This lesson corresponds with the national standards for preschool mathematics focusing on shape recognition and spatial understanding.

Additional Notes:

• Ensure to create an inclusive environment where all students feel comfortable participating and expressing their ideas.
• Adapt instructions as necessary based on student understanding and engagement levels.
