Date:

January 28, 2020

Unit/Subject:

Math – Geometry

Instructional Plan Title:

Shapes in Our World – I can correctly identify shapes in our environment

.

Lesson Summary and Focus:

In this lesson students will learn to identify shapes. Shape recognition is essential to math and everyday life. Students will strive to identify the many different shapes in order to construct (make solid foundations), compare describe spatial relationship (block is above the box), compose, and decompose. Students will be able to sort the shapes correctly and describe the shape regardless of their orientation.

.

Classroom and Student Factors/Grouping:

The kindergarten classroom is inclusion. It consists of 3 students with IEPS. The classroom total is 15 students. A certified teacher and two paraprofessionals are always in the classroom. The classroom profile ranges from below level, average, and above level. Students who need accommodations receive accommodations. Each lesson provided has differential instruction and activities to ensure equality and fairness amongst all students. Each students’ needs are to be met most lessons consist of hands on activities, visual, auditory, technology, group work independency etc.

National/State Learning Standards:

Content Standard Geometry: recognize, name, build, draw, compare, and sort two- and three-dimensional shapes

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.G.A.1
Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.G.A.2
Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.G.B.5
Model shapes in the world by building shapes from components (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes.

Specific Learning Target(s)/Objectives:

During the lesson students will be able to identify and recognize shapes using shape charts, shape games, and match up cards. Students will view pictures of everyday life in the world such as viewing stop signs, traffic lights, foods (pizza, ice cream cone, donut etc.) students will make the connection of the use of shapes in their environment. Once students recognize shapes, they will create shapes using play dough. Learning will be measured using observations and strategic questioning along with assessments such as shape worksheets, homework, and learning related tasks etc.

.

Academic Language

Shapes: circle, square, rectangle, star, diamond, hexagon, trapezoid, oval

Position Words: above, below, besides, in front, over, under, left, inside, outside

The unit vocabulary will be placed on the board in front of the classroom. Shape posters will also be visual. Students will have a math bin to place unit vocabulary each shape will have a picture and title. Students will become familiarized with the unit vocabulary using games, technology and unit quiz.

Resources, Materials, Equipment, and Technology:

· Read the book “Shapes Are Everywhere” by Charles Ghigna

· Shape puzzles

· Playdough

· Flashcards

· Smartboard

· Shapes

· I-Pad

· Math Journal

· Pencil

Anticipatory Set

· Students will read Shapes are Everywhere to discuss that shapes are in the world along with visually seeing the shapes to gain shape recognition and vocabulary.

· Students will listen to shape songs via YouTube they will draw the shape they see on the board from the video and mention the shape they heard from the song.

Time Needed

Multiple Means of Representation

· Students will read Shapes are Everywhere to discuss that shapes are in the world along with visually seeing the shapes to gain shape recognition and vocabulary.
· Students will listen to shape songs via YouTube they will draw the shape they see on the board from the video and mention the shape they heard from the song.

· Students will play shape games for interactive learning

· Vocabulary terms will be on display board

· Hands on manipulatives of shape to visually see the shape, count corners, recognize the shape and match it to outside things with shapes in environment

· Making shapes using playdough

· English language learners (ELL): Manipulatives, shape chart, copies of Math vocabulary terms and help from instructor or partnered (peer to peer tutoring) to have help when struggling.

· Students with special needs: Students will receive extra assistance from certified teacher or paraprofessional; and will also have student interaction. Students may use manipulatives to visually see shapes.

· Students with gifted abilities: Flash cards. Students choose flash cards from the pile. The group, using the cards, recite the shapes write the shape draw the shape and write how many sides it has. Students can even incorporate shape patterns make shape visuals such as flowers, pets, etc with use of shapes and state how many shapes they used to create an image

15 minutes

Multiple Means of Engagement

· To assist students with the learning of the lesson, they will be allowed the opportunity to play online games involving shapes

.

· Using their Math notebooks, students will write out unit vocabulary terms from the Display board, creating a Math vocabulary page for the unit on shapes.

· Unit handouts will be given to the students for added practice on shape recognition

· Students with special needs: These students will have visual, tiered, and interactive games geared toward their learning. Instructor will mode expectations and assist the student when needed. For those with IEP’s, various tools and manipulatives will be provided to assist in their learning of the lesson. Both paraprofessional and instructor are there to help.

30 minutes

Multiple Means of Expression

During instruction, students will show their mastery skills of the lesson through completion of shape sheets, playdough building of shapes, interactive games, and shape match up. Students will receive exit tickets and allow for both paraprofessional and teacher to formatively assess each individual student to see how well they comprehended the lesson

45 mins

Extension Activity and/or Homework

Students will have shape worksheet to take home regarding the lesson objective or play with puzzles hands on practicing shapes (special needs) or use of technology.
