Learning area Numeracy

Lesson topic Reviewing 2D shapes

Date and Time Tuesday 25th October 12pm

Overall duration (time) 1hr

Curriculum links Reviewing 2D shapes before introducing 3D shapes (ACMMG063)

ACMMG044 (Year 2) Describe and draw two-dimensional shapes, with
and without digital technologies.
Elaboration:
● Identifying key features of squares, rectangles, triangles, kites,
rhombuses and circles, such as straight lines or curved lines,
and counting the edges and corners
Objectives By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
1. Identify key features of a 2D shape.
2. Describe 2D shapes using their key features
3. Select shapes that represent 2D models.

Student, prior Students can recognise classic shapes, for example; a square, circle and
knowledge triangles by their geometric features, corners and sides.

Using a PowerPoint slide, breakdown 2D shapes as an reviewing lesson
● Slides will include:
- shapes, describing terminology; vertices, sides, faces, shape,
line, 2-dimensional.
- Go through each shapes; Triangle, square, circle, rectangle,
rhombus, trapezoid and hexagon
- Properties of shapes
- Different shapes seen in world
- What Shape am I: descriptions of shapes based on their
properties
- Instructional slide to the next activity 2D shapes properties
and Keynote.
● Students will use their whiteboards during the What Shape Am I
activity, to write their answer down reveal them.
Second Activity
Students put their whiteboards away. Handing out helps hand out Math work
books while I distribute the worksheets.
Worksheet 1 : 2D shape properties.
● Students will fill out the 2D shape properties based off the
understandings they gained from the PowerPoint.
Instruction
When you can see students are starting to finish remind them to glue the
sheet in their math workbooks and put the books on the orange table.
Shapes in the Classroom set for them.
Keynote: Shapes in the Classroom.
● Students are assessed an activity on keynote where they need to take
5 different photos around the classroom of shapes they can observe.
For example, their whiteboard is a rectangular shape and the clock is
a circular shape.
Third Activity
Finishing up the lesson, instruct students to pack away their iPad and place
their books on the orange table for marking.
Gather students to the mat and have a different What Shape Am I on the
board as an exit ticket to students before going on break.
For students struggling grasping the activities and lesson, explicitly instruct
 and model each shape property to students and where to locate them on the
shapes being provided on the worksheet and PowerPoint. Thorough and clear
definitions that simple for students to understand the shapes properties and
geometric terminology.

Key questions 1. What is a shape?

2. How can we tell the differences between shapes?
3. What is a two dimensional shape.

Assessment of student Diagnostic Assessment: Discussing before introducing the powerpoint,

learning “What are shapes”?
Formative Assessement: Testing students understanding through the course
learning, “What shape am I” activity.
This relates to the lesson objectives; identifying key features, describing and
selecting shapes.

Reflection 1. How did the student grasp the lesson?

2. Were they any misconceptions present in the students learning and
understanding?
3. How can I improve my lesson?

Next lesson Introduction into 3D shapes.
