K.G.A. Identify and describe shapes (squares, circles, triangles, rectangles, hexagons, cubes, cones, cylinders, and spheres).

2. Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.

3. Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-dimensional (“solid”).

K.G.B. Analyze, compare, create, and compose shapes.

4. Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using

Language to describe similarities, differences, parts, and other attributes.

Evaluate: Students will do an exit ticket on a personal white board.

Instructional Activity: Students will draw example shapes, and write/label the different attributes. Teacher will show pictures of a few 2D and 3D shapes and on their whiteboard, student will write 2D or 3D.

Learning Objective:

TSWBAT: identify at least 7 of the 8 shapes provided are 2D and which are 3D.

TSWBAT: Justify their reasoning for determining which shape goes in which group at least 80% of the time.

Engage: What are the different attributes of 2D and 3D shapes? What are the different ways that you could sort shapes based off of the attributes?

Instructional Activity: Have a 3D model of a few shapes (cube, cone, sphere) and a few 3D shape pictures (circle, rectangle, triangle)

· Ask: What about these are similar? What is different? What is one way I could group them together? What is a different way? (maybe by color, real life, 2D or 3D, etc)

Learning Objectives: TSWBAT: sort (and compare) at least 7 of the 8 shapes into two different groups.

TSWBAT: identify at least 7 of the 8 shapes provided are 2D and which are 3D.

TSWBAT: Justify their reasoning for determining which shape goes in which group at least 80% of the time.

Explore: Cut & Sort Shapes

edcuhome — 2025-09-14 20:31:54 UTC

Instructional Activity: Students will be cutting and sorting shapes into 2 different groups. They get to decide how they want to sort them. There are 8 shapes total. They will have to think about why they are sorting them the way that they are.

Learning Objective: TSWBAT: sort (and compare) at least 7 of the 8 shapes into two different groups.

TSWBAT: identify at least 7 of the 8 shapes provided are 2D and which are 3D.

TSWBAT: Justify their reasoning for determining which shape goes in which group at least 80% of the time.

Explain: Students verbally explain reasoning to teacher of how and why they sorted the shapes the way that they did.

Instructional Activity: Students will finish their sort and explain to the teacher why they sorted the way that they did, based on the different attributes of the shapes.

Learning Objective: TSWBAT Justify their reasoning for determining which shape goes in which group at least 80% of the time.

Elaborate/Extend: Students will compare their way of sorting shapes with their classmates.

edcuhome — 2025-09-14 20:31:54 UTC

Instructional Activity: Students will compare their sorts with a partner's sort. They will discuss why they sorted the way that they did.

Learning Objective: TSWBAT Justify their reasoning for determining which shape goes in which group at least 80% of the time.
