Date 10/17/17 _ Subject/ Topic/ Theme Mathematics: the faces of 3D shape Grade ____K_____
I. Objectives
How does this lesson connect to the unit plan?
This lesson connect to the unit plan because students are learning different properties of 2D and 3D shapes.
Common Core standards (or GLCEs if not available in Common Core) addressed:
Standard (K.G.3) - Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, flat) or three-dimensional (solid).
Standard (K.G.4) Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal
language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/corners) and other attributes (e.g.,
having sides of equal length).
(Note: Write as many as needed. Indicate taxonomy levels and connections to applicable national or state standards. If an objective applies to particular learners
write the name(s) of the learner(s) to whom it applies.)

Your reflection about the lesson, including evidence(s) of student learning and engagement, as well as ideas for improvement
for next time. (Write this after teaching the lesson, if you had a chance to teach it. If you did not teach this lesson, focus on the
process of preparing the lesson.)
I made few changes as I was teaching. I planned to prepare a bag with 3D shapes and make students pick shapes out and tell what
each shape is called so that students can engage more, but I decided not to do it. Instead, I just showed them the shapes and the whole
group answered me by shouting out the names. Majority of students knew names of 2D shapes based on their learning, so they will
recognize a cube as a square or a sphere as a circle. Also, it was hard for students to understand how 3D shapes are drawn
on the paper. It is their first time learning this concept, but I wasnt sure what I could do to help them make connection between 2D
and 3D shapes. I was very thankful that students were listening and responding to me.
