De Jesus, Harriet Tubman Learning Center - Public School 154M, New York, N.Y. After students have glued the shapes onto the construction paper, they can create a background with makers or crayons.Įnd the activity by having students write a short journal entry or a brief description on writing paper about what they did with their shapes and strategies they used to create their shapes.Įvaluate children on their classroom discussion, cooperative learning abilities, shape awareness through artwork, and journal entries or written descriptions. For example, a child might make a boat using a trapezoid and three triangles. Encourage them to tie their shape awareness with what they see in their environment. Ask students to create another shape out of those shapes they have received from you.Provide glue, scissors, markers, and crayons. Give each child four to six pre-cut geometric shapes and a sheet of construction paper.Have children glue their categories of shapes onto chart paper so the other children can see their work. Elicit children's views on how they categorized the geometric shapes.Let children think about what categories are they going to use.Distribute pre-cut two-dimensional geometric shapes, at least ten shapes per group.Show students a chart with the drawings of geometric shapes to introduce new terms: rhombus, trapezoid, etc.
#Problem solving make new two dimensional shapes lesson 12.5 windows#
Follow-up the activity by asking the children to identify a shape within a shape, for example, small windows in a door are squares within a rectangle.Ask the children to identify what shapes they see inside the classroom.Also ask the children how they developed the ideas for their shapes. Ask children to explain the shapes they made and how many tiles they used.
Give children geometric tiles, and let them make their own shapes. The reference I use for the geometric tiles is the program Math Trailblazers by Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company. Teacher's comments: The size of the shapes depends on what measurement you are targeting to achieve in your lesson. teacher-cut two-dimensional geometric shapes.
Students participate in hands-on activities to learn about the shapes in their environment. Subject: Visual Arts, Mathematics, Geometry, Process Skills See our guidelines to submit your lesson plan! The submitter of our highlighted lesson received a $50 honorarium.
