Overview & Purpose Education Standards Addressed

The students will learn what line segments are, New Concept: CC.K-
how to identify 2-D shapes, how to draw them, 12.MP.7,CC.K.G.4,CC.K.G.5
and how to form them on a geoboard. They will Lesson
learn how to draw the shapes as well as practice Practice:CC.K.G.1,CC.K.G.2,CC.K.G.4,CC.K.G.5
their handwriting skills. Handwriting Practice: CC.K.CC.3

Lesson Details

Objectives: Students will learn what a line Materials Needed:

segment , 2-D shapes ( square, ❏ Pencil
rectangle, triangle) are,what ❏ 1 Crayon of any color
their names are, how to ❏ Workmats
recognize them, and how to ❏ Geoboards
illustrate and form them on a ❏ Rubberbands (for use on
geoboard. Students will also geoboard)
practice writing the number 18. ❏ Handwriting handout
❏ Dry erase marker
❏ Eraser
❏ Dry erase board
❏ Clipboard

Information: Shapes and how to recognize

them.

Verification Students will watch as listen as

 Teacher will explain the three 2-
D shapes, and line segments
before teaching the students how
to draw them.Students will
complete their handout on
drawing a square, rectangle, and
triangle. Students will then
learn how to form the shapes
and line segments on the
geoboards.

Activity: After learning about line

segments and 2-D shapes
students will get to finish their
handout that was given to them.
Once the students finish they
may take a workmat, geoboard,
and rubberbands, they will use
these to form shapes and
patterns on the geoboards that
resemble those shown on the
workmat.

Summary This lesson is a hands on and fun

activity for students to learn
about shapes and line segments.
