LESSON PLAN TEMPLATE

In this lesson… The students will be able to identify the differences between
Overview quadrilaterals by recognizing, organizing, drawing and different shapes.
4.12 The student will classify quadrilaterals as parallelograms, rectangles,
Standards of squares, rhombi, and/or trapezoids.
Learning
What are the differences between each shape? How can we compare and
Essential Questions contrast each shape?

Students will be able to classify the key differences between each shape.
Objectives Students will be able to draw and organize the different shapes into their correct
category.
I can compare and contrast the key differences between quadrilaterals as
Learning Target parallelograms, rectangles, squares, rhombi, and/or trapezoids.
How to identify parallelism. How to contrast plane and solid figures according
Necessary Prior to their characteristics (number of angles, vertices, edges, and the number and
Knowledge shape of faces) using concrete models and pictorial representations.
Paper, markers, pencils, rulers, Promethean Board, shape toys.
Materials
“We all know about shapes but do we know what quadrilaterals are?” “Can we
Introduction/Hook name the different types of quadrilaterals?”
- Entry question seen above^
- Brainstorm what kind of shapes/quadrilaterals there are
Instructional - Brainstorm what makes them different
Activities & - Have presentation
- Have students practice their knowledge of quadrilaterals with IXL
Strategies - Go around and help students if they are having trouble understanding
- Having a short review, then an go back to students completing IXL
Key Vocabulary or Shape, quadrilateral, parallel lines, parallelograms, rectangles, squares, rhombi,
trapezoids, acute angles, obtuse angles, right angles, number of faces
Concepts
Formal: Quiz,
Assessments Informal: Verbal Questioning, IXL (teacher can see scores)
Closure Activity A short review and IXL
A student with hearing issues- Have a page with powerpoint and notes already
printed out
Accommodations A student who has trouble retaining information and needs reassurance with
questions- Adjust the powerpoint to have bolded words and point out what’s
important for her to remember instead of having the need to ask questions
