Lesson Plan Math & Science

Learning Area/Theme: Math, Music
Age: Kindergarten
Materials:
1. Colored felt shapes (ex: blue, orange, yellow, brown, etc.)(circle, square, triangle, oval,
diamond, etc.)
Objectives:
1. K Mathematics 1A- Use one-to-one correspondence and language such as more than,
same number as, or two less than to describe relative sizes of sets of concrete objects.
2. K Mathematics 9C- Describe, identify, and compare circles, triangles, rectangles, and
squares (a special type of rectangle).
3. K Physical Education 7C- share space and equipment with others.
Procedure:
1. Cut out shapes with different colored felt pieces. For instances orange circles. Make
enough felt shapes for every child in your class. Try to at least use the major shapes such
as triangle, circle, rectangle, square and oval. Other suggestions are diamonds,
semicircle and hexagons for more challenges.

2. Have precut shapes of felt on the floor in front of each child. Explain to the kids that
youre going to teach them a new song and when they hear a certain shape they need to
find that shape in their pile and hold it up and do the actions in the song.
a. Song: Sing to the Hokey Pokey Song
Put your circle in, put your circle out put your circle in and you shake it all about,
You do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around, thats what its all about.
Put your rectangle in your rectangle out, put your rectangle in and you shake it
all about, You do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around, thats whats
its all about. Put your triangle in put your triangle out put your triangle in and
you shake it all about. You do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around,
thats whats its all about.
3. After you have sang the Hokey Pokey Song then review the shapes with the students.
Have them tell you how many sides a triangle has, something in the classroom that is
shaped like a square, etc.
Evaluation:
1. Students will be able to identify shapes and follow directions.
Follow-Up:
1. Have students use cut out shapes to create a picture. All the shapes should be identified
on the picture.
2. Read The Shape of Me and Other Stuff by: Dr. Suess.
