TEKS: (C2) Objective: (C3)

6.A Geometry and measurement: At the end of the lesson, students will sort two-
Identify two-dimensional shapes, including circles, dimensional shapes (circles, triangles, squares and
triangles, rectangles, and squares as special rectangles) through a cut and paste sorting
rectangles activity
Specific __ Measureable __Attainable___ Relevant____Time ____
Grade: Kindergarten Subject: Math

Task Analysis: (C4) What lang. must be taught: Names of shapes with Strategy to teach Language: (C4)
the symbol/picture, the
side and corner of a Interactive Word Book/ Vocabulary Journal
What skills must be taught:
shape
How to use scissors/glue and how
to identify the shapes to sort

Assessment: (C5)
Students will complete a worksheet where they will cut out different shapes and have to paste them in the
corresponding box that is labeled for that shape
Example: if they cut out a circle they will paste in the box that is labeled “circle” with a picture of one

Strategies for Success: (C6) Element of Technology: (C6)

Anchor Chart App: ThingLink

Learning Styles Addressed: (C6) Resources / Materials needed: (C6)

1. Screen to play shape videos
Visual – View shapes on chart for reference 2. Paper and markers for anchor chart
3. Interactive word book with glue, scissors and crayons for
Auditory – Listen to song about shapes everyone
4. Ipads with the App ‘ThingLink’
Kinesethic – Find shapes in classroom & take pictures 5. Sorting worksheet with scissors and glue for everyone
6. Recall cards of the shapes in the lesson

Higher Order Questions to ask: (C6)

1. How would you describe a triangle?

2. Who can give an example of a circle in the real-world?

3. How would you compare and contrast a square and a rectangle?

Hook: (C7) Closure: (C7)

Use Recall Cards of the shapes in the lesson (triangle, Thumbs up/Thumbs down activity - pose questions or
circle, square, rectangle) to generate prior memory of statements that can be answered thumbs up or down.
the topic
Examples: a circle is round, does a triangle have three
sides, a door is an example of a rectangle
 1. Teacher Input / Direct Instruction / Modeling: (C6)
Play video “2D Shapes I Know" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDQDyx59QY4)
After ask students what shapes they saw in the video and if they noticed how they said you can tell what
shape it is (counting the number of sides and corners)

Then tell students that you are going to make an anchor chart with each of the shapes they just learned and
list their characteristics. Teacher will draw a circle, ask students the name, write the name and the number
of sides and corners. Then repeat for the remaining three shapes.
2. Student Activities / Guided Practice: (C6)
As a class, make an interactive word book for the different shapes that they just learned that they can use
to reference later. Each student will get their own materials and the teacher will make one in front with the
class following along to make theirs.

3. Independent Practice: (C6)

First students will work in pairs to find examples of shapes in the classroom and use the App ‘ThingLink’ to
take pictures of them and make a recording stating what shape they found.

Next they will work independently on worksheet where they will cut out different shapes and have to paste
them in the corresponding box that is labeled for that shape.
Ex: if they cut out a circle they will paste in the box that is labeled “circle” with a picture of one

Modifications / Accommodations: (E6) Comprehensible Input Techniques: (R9)

Difficulty - Cut out materials ahead of time for the 1. Appropriate Speech
student 2. Explanation of Academic Tasks
3. Use of a Variety of Techniques
Participation - simplify the tasks in the partner activity

Quantity - reduce the number of items they do on the

assessment activity

DELIVERY PLAN (C8)
OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, students will sort two-dimensional shapes (circles, triangles, squares and
Rigor rectangles) through a cut and paste sorting activity

Purpose: we learn about shapes because they are the building blocks for future lessons like patterns

OPENING: Use Recall Cards of the shapes in the lesson (triangle, circle, square, rectangle) to generate prior
Retrieval memory of the topic - to make it more interesting use both cartoon pictures of shapes and examples
of shapes in the real world like a window for a square - soon they will be able to recognize shapes all
around them

Play video “2D Shapes I Know" - After ask students what shapes they saw in the video and if they
TEACHER INPUT: noticed how they said you can tell what shape it is (counting the number of sides and corners)
Relevance Then tell students that you are going to make an anchor chart with each of the shapes they just
learned and list their characteristics. Teacher will draw a circle, ask students the name, write the
MODEL: name and the number of sides and corners. Then repeat for the remaining three shapes.
Routing
Give each student their own set of materials to make an interactive word book. The teacher
will model how to start by doing the first page step by step with class. The student will
follow along making their own. Then release students to finish independently.
GUIDED PRACTICE:
Students will make their own interactive word book for the different shapes that they just
Retaining / Rehearsing
learned that they can use to reference in the following activity. The teacher will monitor the
students as they complete the activity and provide individual remediation as needed

INDEPENDENT PRACTICE: Students will work in pairs to find examples of shapes in the classroom and use the App
‘ThingLink’ to take pictures of them and make a recording stating what shape they
found. Ex: take a picture of a poster and make a recording saying that is a rectangle

CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING : After the students have found examples of shapes. Ask these (higher order thinking)
Recognizing questions to make sure they have a good understanding: How would you compare
and contrast a square and a rectangle? Who can give an example of a circle in the
real-world? How would you describe a triangle?
ASSESSMENT: Students will complete a worksheet where they will cut out different shapes and have to paste them
in the corresponding box that is labeled for that shape. These papers will be collected to be graded.
The goal is to get at least three quarters of the shapes correct in each section.

RESOURCES / MATERIALS: Recall cards of the shapes, a screen to play shape videos, paper and markers for anchor
chart, interactive word book with glue, scissors and crayons for everyone, Ipads with the
App ‘ThingLink’, sorting worksheet with scissors and glue for everyone

CLOSURE: Thumbs up/Thumbs down activity - pose questions or statements that can be answered thumbs up/
Re-exposure down. This will help students think critically about what they learned. For best results with this age have
them do it with their head down so that they are giving honest answers and not just copying their table
mates.
