2D Shapes
Name: Gabriele Johannsson

Gr. Kindergarten Topic How do different shaped wheels

affect movement?
Date December 13 Allotted
Time

Rationale: How is this lesson relevant at this time with these students? Why is it important?
How does it fit with the rest of the unit?
Now that the students are familiar with the attributes of each shape they can explore how shape affects
movement.

Learning Intention: I can record my observations from the activity

What will students learn? I can begin to understand how shape affects movement
( what do I want them to
learn?)
Evidence of Learning:
How will students show their Recording on the observation sheet
learning? Discussing observations with class
products

observations
conversations
Criteria: Teacher modeling
What criteria will help
students know how to be
successful?
(What will I look for in the
evidence?)
Planning for diversity (adaptations, extensions, other): In what ways does the lesson meet the needs of ALL
learners? How will you plan for students who have learning/behaviour difficulties or require enrichment?

ELL: teacher modelling, kinetic support

Hearing: repetition, use of microphone
Behaviour: Try the activity if unsuccessful Give M time to play with the car afterwards with EA Res
support, offer shape cards during the activity our
ces, Material and Preparation: What resources, materials and preparation are required?
Wooden car, interchangeable wheels for each shape, ramp, observation sheet

Organizational/Management Strategies: (anything special to consider? How will you organize the activities,
the materials and the students so that things run smoothly? )

Students will likely move closer and closer to see, remind them to sit on the outside of the mat to allow
for peers to see

intention!
My friend gave me this car but it didn’t
have any wheels on it. When I asked for
the wheels, I just got this box of wheels
and I’m not really sure which ones will
Process: work best. Suggest what wheels to try first
Observe
What wheels should we try first? Record on observation sheet
Attach the wheels suggested and place
the car on the top of the ramp
Transform: Repeat Discuss observations

What wheels worked? Which wheels

sort of worked? Which wheels did not
Closure: work? Discuss ideas after raising hand
Go over sheet

Why do we think these wheels worked

and these didn’t?

Reflection What was successful in this lesson? If taught again, what would you change to make this lesson
even more successful and inclusive for diverse and exceptional students?
