Lesson objective: Compose two-dimensional shapes by drawing them to represent real-world objects.
This lesson provides an opportunity for students to apply their knowledge and understanding of two-dimensional shapes to a real life situation. Students are asked to draw a house using at least five different shapes and labeling them to showing understanding of how to compose two-dimensional shapes.
Key Concept students will use:
- draw shapes to model shapes in the environment.
Skills students will use:
- prior knowledge of 2D shape attributes (Grade K, Unit 8)
- prior knowledge of builiding 2D shapes (Grade K, Unit 11)
Students engage in Mathematical Practice 4 (Model with Mathematics) as they draw two-dimensional shapes to represent different parts of a house.
Key vocabulary:
- circle
- hexagon
- octagon
- oval
- pentagon
- rectangle
- rhombus
- square
- trapezoid
Special materials needed:
- pattern blocks (optional)
