Unit 3: Identify and Describe Shapes

Unit 3: Identify and Describe Shapes Grade Level/Course: Kindergarten Teacher: McCants Learning Goals (Question 1) Complex The student will understand or be able to :  Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes  Describe the relative positions of objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to.  Describe shapes using attributes such as corners (angles) and sides  Compare and contrast shapes two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) and three-dimensional (“solid”). Simple The student will understand or be able to :  Identify shapes of objects in their environment  Spatial directions/Positional words including above, below, beside, in front, behind, beside, etc.  Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.  Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-dimensional (“solid”).

Planning for Question 2 Planning for Question 3 Planning for Question 4 Preview Critical Input Chunk Actively Process Assessment (2.0) TSW describe shapes using environmental objects.

Given oral positional directions, TSW manipulate objects.

Given shapes, TSW describe the shapes by attributes.

Compare & Contrast-Assessment (3.0) Using environment objects, TSW compare and contrast shapes two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) and three- dimensional (“solid”).

Comparing Food Shape Chart Using cut outs, TSW cut out food to compare their shapes before and after it is cutting up.(pizza-circle then triangles)

Classifying Using pattern or attribute blocks, TSW classify shapes by attributes

Constructing Support-Assessment (4.0) Are all 4 sided objects a rectangle?(Support your answer orally or picture)

Brainstorming  What is a shape?

Picture Walk- Big Book- What’s the Shape  Predict Picture Walk- Big Book- Goldilocks and the Three Squares(put on Mimio)  Predict Game  Simon Says (positional words) Songs  Hokey Pokey

Six Step Vocabulary-

Shared Reading- Big Book- What’s the Shape  Discuss Picture Walk- Big Book- Goldilocks and the Three Squares(put on Mimio)  Discuss

Show videos (Safari Montage)  Sesame Street: “In Great Shape” Song-Geometric Forms  Geometry

Observe teacher comparing and contrasting two shapes  Anchor chart  Guided questions  Positional Words (model skill and process)
