Lesson Plan 2 September 24, 2015 Mathematics Kindergarten 30 Minutes Preliminary Planning Topic/Central Focus: Students will continue learning about 2D shapes with the key focus being on the attributes of triangles in this lesson. They will also learn that triangles can be represented by many real world objects. They will show them triangles can be represented in many different orientations Prior Student Knowledge: The students have been working with shapes and have been assessed on their current knowledge of the basic shapes. I used a pre-assessment that I created called Which Does Not Belong, to assess their current knowledge of the attributes of triangles. The assessment showed that students are familiar with triangles, but …show more content…

This school is in a diverse suburban town south of Chicago. The curriculum, as well as the Illinois Common Core for kindergarten are followed to provide the proper education for all students.

Explain, “You will be doing the same thing. You will be exploring with your elbow partner some everyday things and match them with a triangle that has the same size and orientation just like I have shown you.” 7. Ask the students, “Come and get your cut outs and find your elbow partners and sit down in your chosen areas.” 8. Explain, “I suggest that you sort the cut outs by size first and then try to find the object that has similar size. Then turn them in different ways holding them together to see if they fit.

Tell the students when they have a few minutes left. 12. Say, “Friends, you did great! Everyone found most of the matches and can work with these at a later time. Put all everything in the bags and when done go to your assigned seats.” Transition: Say, “Now we’re going to work on a worksheet. We’ll explore triangles more and practice writing the number
