1Compare defining attributes and non-defining attributes of two- and three-dimensional shapes; build and draw shapes that possess defining attributes.

# data[].attributes.body
Instructional Activity:

Give students physical manipulatives of a variety of shapes to look at. I will then claim different defining attributes.

However, I will define the wrong ones for the wrong shapes.

This is aimed at getting students engaged, paying attention, and having a little fun. Students love correcting my "mistakes" and it shows me what they know/their misconceptions.

TSWBAT

Identify defining attributes for 2-4 shapes such as triangles, circles, rectangles, and squares.

# data[].attributes.body
Instructional Activity:

Give students cutouts of shapes with different attributes and have them pick out defining attributes.

Think pair share with a partner and talk about what attributes they noticed and what their partner may have had differently.

I will be asking probing questions throughout to get students thinking critically and further developing their thinking/ exploring.

Instructional Activity:

Now that students have come up with some of their own definitions, we will come back all together and I will confirm what they have been thinking.

I will be presenting in a lecture format providing them with definitions for the defining and non-defining attributes and how they work.

I will be telling students the "why" as well as showing helpful videos on the content.

I will be providing multiple means of representation throughout this.

Instructional Activity:

Students will now be switching to non-defining attributes. They will all be tasked with finding 5 real objects from our classroom that represent shapes.

They will then have to discuss in their groups what the non-defining attributes of the different shapes are.

This is aimed at showing students that we have shapes all around us in the real world that make up everything.

Instructional Activity:

Students will now play an online sorting game that categorizes the different defining and non-defining attributes.

Once students have placed all attributes in their categories they will discuss what similarities and differences they have noticed.

Students will finish off and show me what they have learned by creating a written (or typed) short answer about how the defining and non-defining attributes are different and any commonalities they have.
