Pre Planning

Big Idea(s): To help students understand and identify different 2D geometricshapes.

Essential Questions: Can you identify a circle, square, rectangle, and triangleand be able to describe characteristics of each?

Objective: VA SOL 2.16 The student will identify, describe, compare, and

contrast plane figures

VA SOL 1.12 The student will identify and trace, describe, and sortplane geometric figures (triangle, square, rectangle, and circle)

according to number of sides, vertices, and right angles.

Summative Assessment: Students will complete Animoto video activity (detailedin the Closing section.

Lesson Opening Lesson Opening (The Hook): Students will be introduced to the unit/lesson on

geometric shapes. Examples can be shown and drawn on a SMARTBoard. A

teacher may identify examples in class. To get students thinking about these

shapes, they may play one, two, or all three of the following apps. These are

tangram puzzle apps that help students see what shapes look like and how they

may fit together. There are additional shapes in the Toy Tangrams app that were

learned in previous grades (heart, star) and one that will not be covered in

second grade (pentagon).My First Tangrams HD Toy Tangrams

Lesson Body Explanation: Students will use the Geometry 4 Kids app to explore the

characteristics of each shape. This app has quick check questions to review with

students as they go along. Students will explore the 2D shapes, polygons, and

triangles sections.

Geometry 4 Kids

Check for Understanding: Students may work individually or in groups andcomplete the 10 question assessment in the 2

ndGrade Splash Math app. When

students open the app, they will have to navigate to the geometry section. Upon

completion, students should show their instructor the screen that has the grade

on it. Students may wish to retake the assessment at the discretion of the

teacher.

Extended Practice: For students needing additional practice, they may want toexplore the Learn Shapes app. This app is geared for kindergarten and first grade

students but this remediation may be necessary and helpful to get students onto

the current grade level knowledge

Closing Lesson Closing: Students with use their knowledge of shapes to create a video

using Animoto. There are four main shapes (circle, square, rectangle, and

triangle). Students will be placed in one of four groups and will go around the

classroom and school taking pictures of real examples of their assigned shape.

When they have put enough pictures into their video (10 or more), they can editthe theme. When this is completed, the teacher can assist with publishing the

video.

Animoto

*Alternative: If students are more advanced in using the app the groups couldcreate videos that have all 4 shapes in them (40+ pictures) that would need to be

separated by text slides. This would be at the discretion of the teacher.
