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}

National Curriculum Alignment

The lesson aligns with the National Curriculum for Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) for mathematics, focusing on shape recognition and properties.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 minutes	Briefly introduce shapes using flashcards. Ask students if they can name any shapes they know.
2	Shape Activity	10 minutes	Distribute colored paper shapes. Guide students in sorting the shapes by type. Discuss the characteristics of each shape.
3	Shape Drawing	7 minutes	Provide students with paper and crayons. Ask them to draw their favorite shape and color it.
4	Class Discussion	5 minutes	Have students share their drawings and discuss the shapes they made. Reinforce shape names and properties during discussion.
5	Conclusion	3 minutes	Recap the shapes learned. Explain the homework task: to find and draw three objects at home that represent different shapes.

Homework

Students will be asked to find three objects at home that represent different shapes (circle, square, triangle, rectangle) and draw them on a piece of paper. Teachers will check completed homework without requiring students to present it in front of the class.
