Shapes and Their Attributes

Colorful 2D shapes with names

Contributor: Destiny Williams Sample NearPod Lesson

In this unit, students will learn the names of shapes and how to identify triangles, quadrilateral, hexagons, and squares based on the numbers of angles and sides. The students may not know that the prefix of shapes will determine the number of sides and angles the shape has. The students understanding the meaning of the prefix will help them better identify what each shape is. The students will learn through using labeled models and videos about shapes. Using physical models will enhance the learning of kinesthetic and visual learners by giving them a hands-on experience to show their knowledge. The video will increase knowledge for auditory learners because it will have repetition and a catchy flow that will cause students to remember When students learn the different types of shapes, they can identify them in everyday life like seeing a stop sign and recognizing it is an octagon or noticing that a door is a quadrilateral. Shapes are also necessary for architecture or becoming an artist.

A. Reason about shapes and their attributes is stated in the Tennessee Standards of Math 2. G.A.1.

Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes. Draw two-dimensional shapes having specified attributes (as determined directly or visually, not by measuring), such as a given number of angles or a given number of sides of equal length.

This instructional video is very valuable. It gives a great explanation of quadrilaterals but I would have to skip certain shapes like circle and oval because we are not talking about those shapes. This also ties into the technology standards about citizens.

Curious about shapes

Curious about shapes is an app created for students to play entertaining games and puzzles that help the students learn about shapes and even begin patterns. This app can also help students break down a shape into smaller shapes like one of the questions that are in the Kahoot game. This app models digital literacy while promoting curiosity by causing the students to use their fine motor skills and causing the students to interact with different shapes.

Geometry games for 2nd Graders

This website can be valuable to the learners because it causes the students to learn through play. The students are following a storyline that causes the student to be amused but they are also learning about the different shapes and how to recognize them. This website also can help with fractions as talked about in the common core standards.

Montessori Geometry

This app teaches children how to recognize and name shapes in ways that will keep the attention of the student from kindergarten to elementary school grades. The types of games on this app are vocabulary exercises, 3D images, and matching games. This app will tie into the collaborator technology standard because it is used to help students make connections to the real world with this app.

Behavioral Objective:

Given a computer, the learner will access Nearpod to follow along with the lesson about 2D shapes and what the characteristics of each shape is in order to demonstrate the ability to identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and hexagons. You may use the following sentence frame:

Language Objective:

Key Vocabulary: 2-dimensional shape, vertex, quadrilaterals, rectangle, trapezoid, parallelogram, pentagon, and hexagon

Academic language functions: Students will express their understanding by using the terms to answer open ended questions.

Linguistic forms: Words that will show that the students understand the concept of the lesson is by the students using words like hexagon when speaking on a 6-sided hexagon.

The students will practice their writing skills when answering the open-ended question, the students will also write their response on the journals. The students will practice their oral language when they are think-pair-sharing about their notice and wonder during the number talk.

• Curriculum Materials

23 dry erase markers for students to draw the shapes on the table (student centered)

23 response journals for students to write their notice and wonder in their journal (student centered)

-Laptop to show video (teacher centered)

-23 Laptops (student centered)

-SMART board

Utilize media and materials Remember: If there is no student-centered technology, you DO NOT have an ASSURE plan The preparations that are required for media and materials is to make sure the laptop is plugged up and compatible to the Smart Board so that the students can see the videos being shown. The community laptops also need to be checked to see if the computers are charging so that none of the students have the issue of their computer being dead causing them to be unable to follow along with the lesson.

One way to prepare for the classroom is by teaching a set of the students how to get to the database that shows the Nearpod lesson so the students will not spend time trying to figure out how to get to the right part of the lesson.

A way to prepare the learner for the technological experience is by allowing the student to explore the database for their own before giving the students explicit instructions so the students can get a feel for the platform.

Evaluate and revise After the students have learned how to get to the database, Students will use the code to log into Nearpod. The students will stand up and watch a video about shapes that requires physical movement to help the kinesthetic learners. Then the students will do a notice and wonder about the shape shown on the number talk. The students were first discussing what makes a shape have a specific name then teach you will model what makes a two-dimensional shape. The students will put sides and vertex in their response journal. After the students have recorded their vocabulary students well respond to a poll that is on their Nearpod screen. Later the students will think peer and share about what they notice and wonder about the quadrilaterals being shown, at this time students will have the opportunity to draw the shapes on the table. Still result watch two videos about two dimensional shapes then highlight the sides of a shape. Finally, the students will have the opportunity to play geometry games individually before all the students interact in the Kahoot game.

The students will use their technology skills to follow along with the lesson on Nearpod and logging onto the Kahoot game. The students will know how to use Nearpod, how to type a response, how to answer a e-poll, and how to put in codes for lessons while they are learning about the different types of shapes and how to determine each shape based on their sides and vertices. Describe how/when artifact presentation, rubric scoring, and discussion of ideas for improvement will occur. Include the artifact rubric

Formative Assessment (Process):

The students will be assessed using the data shown by the poll and drawing. If 85% of the class got the correct number of sides then the teacher will move on if the class is having trouble with the poll, the teacher will revisit what make a shape have different names and guide the students to the correct answer. The teacher will also carry around a check list that checks when a student is getting a grasp of the concept. If 85 % of the students can draw and label the shapes with vertices and sides the teacher will give the students a check on her checklist, if less than 85% can label the shapes the issue will be noted on the checklist for the teacher to revisit during small group/ individual work time.

Summative Assessment (Product):

The summative for this lesson will be in the form of a game. The students will play the game, Kahoot, with their full names and the teacher will note the data that is created for each question. The questions align directly to the standards and objectives for the lesson while enhancing the technical skills of each student by instructing the students to play an interactive group game. Every question will give immediate feedback about what each student answered. If majority of the class receive the wrong answer the teacher will revisit how to accomplish the specific goal that is implemented for each specific question.
