lesson.
o Objective: Reinforce prior knowledge before classifying shapes.
2. Lesson (15 min)
o Instruction:
▪ Teach how to classify shapes based on their properties, such as the number
of sides and angle measures (e.g., regular vs. irregular polygons).
▪ Introduce key terms like “parallel,” “perpendicular,” and “symmetry.”
o Objective: Ensure students can classify shapes based on their sides and angles.
3. Interactive Activity (20 min)
o Activity: Students work in groups to sort a variety of shapes into categories based on
their properties and explain their reasoning.
o Differentiation: Provide simpler or more complex shapes depending on student
needs.
o Objective: Deepen understanding of geometric properties through collaborative
classification.
4. Closure (15 min)
o Discussion: Share group classifications and discuss the reasoning behind them.

o Discussion: Go over any challenging concepts from the week and answer students'
questions.
o Objective: Clarify any areas of confusion before the assessment.
3. Assessment (20 min)
o Activity: Administer a short quiz covering angles, measuring angles, and classifying
shapes.
o Format: Include a mix of multiple-choice, short answer, and diagram-based
questions.
o Objective: Assess students' understanding of the week's material.

further review.
Weekly Reflection:
• What worked well this week?
The hands-on use of protractors and rulers kept students engaged and made abstract
concepts like angles and shapes more concrete. Group activities also fostered collaboration
and allowed students to learn from each other.
• Which activities engaged the students the most?
Measuring angles and classifying shapes through group work and interactive activities were
particularly engaging. Students enjoyed the real-world application of geometry, especially
when working with physical tools like protractors.
• Were there any unexpected challenges?
Some students struggled with using protractors accurately. More guided practice on using
this tool will be beneficial. A few students also needed more time to grasp how to classify
irregular shapes.
• How can I adjust for next week’s lessons?
Provide additional one-on-one support or small group instruction for students struggling
with protractor use. More visual aids and practice problems will help clarify how to classify
irregular shapes.
This Week 4 lesson plan introduces geometry concepts while ensuring ample time for practice and
review. The activities remain hands-on, fostering both engagement and understanding.
