Comparing Solid Shapes

I. Standard: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.K.3 a. Use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to narrate a single event or several loosely linked events, tell about the events in the order in which they occurred, and provide a reaction to what happened. Objective/Benchmark a. I can identify and compare three-dimensional shapes. Anticipatory Set a. Capture i. The teacher will capture the students by playing a 3-D shape sort and demonstrate the difference between rolls, slides, and stacks with objects that are in their everyday environment. b. Access Prior Knowledge i. The teacher will access prior knowledge through their schema of food packaging and 3-D shapes. Input a. Task Analysis i. Gather students on the outside of the rug while singing Flat on Pockets. Once they have gathered, the teacher and students will begin the shape sort. 1. The teacher will review sphere, cone, cube, and cylinder. We will describe the shapes in mathematical terms (vertices, angles, sides, points, ect.) 2. The teacher will give each student an object from the mystery bag. 3. Students will be asked to identify their object with the person sitting next to them. 4. The teacher will ask that all the cubes be put in the middle of the rug and we will discuss why we know it is a cube. This will be done for all the shapes. 5. The teacher will then demonstrate what roll, stack, and slide are. The students will decide which shapes roll, slide, or stack. 6. Students will be asked to clean up. 7. Students will be asked to go back to their seats and get a basket of crayons. 8. The teacher will model how to identify rolls, stacks, and slides, as well as shapes. 9. Students will independently complete On My Own and Problem Solving. 10. Students will clean up. b. Learning Styles/Multiple Intelligences i. This lesson compliments many different learning types. 1. The meeting area and group sort promote social interactions (interpersonal), listening (auditory), and modeling the activity (visual). 2. The math packet promotes independent learning. c.

Denise Hawley Observation Lesson Plan 12/13/2013 i. Methods 1. Knowledge will be delivered through whole group discussion, whole group work, and independent work. ii. Materials Needed 1. Meeting Area a. Rug b. Dry-erase board and markers 2. Mystery bag with shapes 3. 3-D Wooden Shapes 4. Math Packet 5. Crayons V. Modeling a. Visual Input i. The students will visually observe the group sort and modeling of the math packet by the teachers model. b. Verbal Input i. The students will verbally be involved through singing the songs, whole group discussion and independent work. c. Engaging Students i. Students will find this lesson engaging because they will make connections between items from their personal experiences (snacks and other packaging) and geometric shapes. Check for Understanding a. Students work will be monitored as they are working and reviewed as a whole group. b. Response i. If the review appears to be a struggle the teacher will differentiate the lesson by reviewing geometric terms, shapes, and taking a walk around the school to find examples of 3-D shapes. Guided Practice a. Group Sort b. Modeling rolls, slides, and stacks, in addition to identifying 3-D shapes Independent Practice a. On My Own b. Problem Solving c. Homework Closure a. Wrap-Up i. Clean up crayons and put papers in cubbies. Homework gets detached and sent home. Assessment/Reflection a. Assessments

Were they engaged? ii. What worked well? What needs improvement? iii. How can I better myself as a facilitator and less as a teacher for the benefit of my students? XI.
