DESIRED RESULTS:

Big ideas/Key concepts:

My students are in second grade. They have prior knowledge with shapes from their math
classes. Their abilities include identifying shapes and objects that match those shapes. They
behave well in the classroom and know the shapes very well.
Desired Results: I would like the students to be able to identify different shapes and patterns
outside of the classroom. I hope my lesson would help the children see that things we learn
outside of the classroom is also relevant in the real world. In order to teach this lesson, I need to
know different places outside the classroom where I see different patterns and shapes so the
children are able to identify them.
Objectives:
1.) At the end of the lesson, I want the students to be able to see that there are shapes and patterns
all around them. Throughout the lesson, the students will identify shapes and patterns that they
see outside of the classroom. They will realize that we can see these patterns and shapes in the
classroom and outside of it. 2.) This lesson fits into our unit because in the museum exhibit there
were quilts with patterns and we had to identify the shapes.

Curriculum Standards:
Standard - CC.2.3.2.A.2: Use the understanding of fractions to partition shapes into halves,
quarters, and thirds. Standard - 9.3.2.G1: Recognize that works of art have meaning.

EVIDENCE:
What data will you collect to assess the extent to which the desired outcomes were
achieved? Explicitly state how the collected data are linked to the big
ideas/concepts and objectives identified above. You can consider the following
questions:
After we go outside looking for shapes and patterns, we will label them with contraction paper
and the students will identify what it is. For example, if they are looking for a circular object,
they could label a rock. If students can label these shapes and objects correctly, then I will know
that they have understood our lessons of shapes and patterns. During the lesson, I will monitor
their understanding by watching the children pick out different shapes outside of the classroom.
I will know the students have gained understanding of the lesson once we go over the things we
have found when we were outside. I will know they are able to do this after we have a in depth
lesson on different shapes and patterns.
LEARNING PLAN:

Pre-requisites: As necessary, list any prior skills that students will need to use
during this lesson.
The students need to have a background knowledge in shapes and patterns. Being
able to recognize these things is important to the lesson.

Materials and Technology:

List all the materials, equipment, resources needed for this lesson, including
technology. If you have used other sources to develop your lesson, please cite them
here (use APA citation style). List specific art works, music passages, websites, etc.
The students will use construction paper to label the different objects. Before they label
anything, I will show them on an iPad different things they may see outside, but will have them
figure out the shape or a pattern of them on their own.

Rationale:

Prior lessons we have had in our classroom helped in this situation because I knew the students
were able to identify the shapes. We have talked about how the earth is round and our doors are
rectangles. This will help all my students because they will be able to identify these things not
only in the classroom, but outside of it.

Differentiation: Be specific. Explain how your lesson will help ALL

students, including your special education and linguistically diverse
students, develop the big idea(s) and key concept(s).

Step-By-Step Procedures: (although these lesson phases are listed separately, we

expect that students will be engaged in and exploring the content throughout the
lesson; that they will be explaining their ideas and thinking throughout the lesson;
and that teachers will be evaluating students performances and learning
throughout the lesson)

The students will first be taught a refresher lesson on some shapes and patterns that we see in
every day life. After, we will walk around the classroom, in the hallway, and outside of the
classroom and label what we see that is relevant to our lesson. Once we are all done outside, I
will have the students discuss in small groups about what they saw. After the small groups, we
will discuss it as a whole class.

1. Engage: To get the students attention, I will show them things we often see in the real
world. They will identify them and then discuss things that we are likely to see outside.

2. Explore: We will review shapes and patterns that they already know so they are ready
for the lesson. 2.) Instruction: a.) Explicit instruction or Worked Example: i.) I will begin
by asking the students about different things they see in the classroom. I will then ask

 what shapes are these things? ii.) I will tell the students that this lesson will help them
have a better understanding of the world around us. iii.) Common mistakes that may be
made during this lesson would be having a hard time identifying objects if the shapes are
not particularly clear. For example, most children may think of rocks as circles, but their
shapes can vary.

3. Explain: During this part of the lesson, students discuss their solutions as
well as the strategies they used to approach the problem. Have individuals
or pairs share their learning. The role of the teacher is to highlight important
ideas and to explicitly add any key ideas that were omitted by the students.

I will model these examples by showing objects in the outside world on the iPad. c.)
Guided practice: If students seem to be struggling, I will make sure to help refresh their memory
on shapes we have previously talked about. I would like the students to discuss what they have
seen in small groups before we talk as a whole class. This way, the students who have struggled
will find guidance from their classmates.

4. Elaborate: It is required for students to have full understanding in shapes and patterns.
Application: In the future, students will be able to identify these shapes outside of the
classroom. Their knowledge in shapes and patterns will grow and we will continue to go
over shapes that they have seen. I will have them write down a few objects they have
seen at home and describe them.

5. Evaluate: : I will close the lesson by reviewing the things we saw during our day of
looking for shapes and patterns. They will answer by telling me what they have learned
in the lesson and how they will further their knowledge in the real world.
Evaluation: All the evidence I collected will help me understand the children's knowledge of
shapes. It will help them in the future when their math lessons include shapes with geometry.

REFLECTION (AFTER THE LESSON):

Analyze the evidence you collected and reflect on how the lesson went:
What did the students learn? How do you know? After my lesson, my
students had a better understanding about the shapes around them
What went well? What makes you think so? It went well because I saw
them enjoying doing this lesson. Taking them outside for a change is
something I like to incorporate in their lessons every once in a while.
What would you change if you were to teach the lesson again? Why? I
would have them do more group work because that is where they
really succeed in my class.
Explain how the evidence that you collected is also useful in thinking
about something more than the success of this particular lesson. For

 example, consider how your data support or conflict with theory and
research that youve read.

TEMPLE TEACHING STANDARDS (TTS):

Review your lesson plan to make sure you have addressed the six
TTS
o Deep Content Understanding: I made sure students had deep
content understanding about the subject by evaluating the
lesson at the end of the class.
o Coherence & Continuity: I connect the lesson with things that
the students have been learning throughout the school year.
o Real World Connections: I have connected the lesson to the
real world by letting the students go outside and explore the
different shapes we see.
o Active Learning: We explore the outside and then the students
talk about what they saw to their peers.
o Critical & Creative Thinking: It is important to ask the students
open ended questions about what we did for our lesson.
o Teacher Reflective Thinking: I tested to see what the students
have learned during the lesson by observing them while they
work.
Revise, if necessary, to ensure all standards are included.
Be prepared to explain how your lesson plan addresses the TTS.
