Instructional Plan:
o Display the shape cards for
children to see. Show card HH
and have them describe the
shape. Invite children to point to
the part they are describing. If
they cannot think of a word,
encourage them to show you
what they noticed about the
shape using their hands, bodies,
Getting Ready:
Teacher: Hocus Pocus
Students: Everybody Focus!
Teacher: Do you remember
when we introduced pattern
blocks yesterday?
Students: Yes!
Teacher: Lets review the names
of the shapes for practice. Lets
say them all together out loud.
Students: Triangle, square,
or gestures.
o As children share a list of
descriptive terms they use.
Create an anchor chart of terms
and pictures that students can
use in the future to describe
shapes in detail. Gradually you
can build from students natural
informal language to introduce
more formal terminology.
o Invite each student to look at a
shape card closely and describe it
to his or her partner. Encourage
them to refer to the list the class
created.
Discourse:
Conclude by having a few partnerships
show their shapes and share how the
characteristics of their shapes are
similar or different.
