Lesson Plan: Three Dimensional Shapes
Overview:
Through this lesson my students will be learning the different types of three-dimensional
shapes. This is a very important concept for students to learn because once
they get into the higher grade levels, they will eventually start to learn how
to measure the volume and size of the shapes. These shapes are like cones,
cylinders, and cubes. These are all shapes that they will find in the real
world and will need to understand how to measure them.
Materials and Resources:
- Worksheets
- 3D
printed sphere, cylinder, cube, cone, square prism, triangular
prism.
- Smart
Board
- 3D
printing supplies
- Colors
- Glue
Instruction
a. Introduction
Day 1: To
begin this lesson I will ask my students if they can tell me what a
three-dimensional shape is. I will take a few minutes and wait for their
responses. If no one can tell me then I will tell them that a three-dimensional
shape is a shape that has three different dimensions to be measured, height,
width, length. Then I will tell my students how this is different from two
dimensional shapes because you only have two things to measure.
Day 2: To
begin this lesson I will first talk to my students about what we learned the
day before about cones, cylinders. and spheres. After that I will tell them
that today we are going to talk about our last three shapes that are part of
this unit. I will tell them that these shapes will be a cube, triangle prism,
and square prism.

Process
Day 1:
Activity 1:
At this time I will get out my cone,
sphere, and cylinder that I printed out of the 3D printer before class. The
students will then pass these shapes around the room for about five minutes and
look at the different things about them. Once all my shapes have returned back
to me, I will start by pulling out the sphere. I will then tell my students
what this shape is and then ask them to tell me what two dimensional shape it reminds
them of. I will give them a minute to tell what they think it is and then I
will tell them that a circle is the closest. Next, I will ask my students to
tell me what is different about a sphere from a circle? As they give me their
ideas, I will write them on the board and then I will talk to them about how a
sphere is round and a circle in flat. (Visual Spatial, Linguistic,
Kinesthetic)
Activity 2: Next, I will pull out the cylinder. I
will then tell my students what this shape is and then ask them to tell me what
two-dimensional shape it reminds them of. I will give them a minute to tell
what they think it is and then I will tell them that a oval is the closest.
Next, I will ask my students to tell me what is different about a cylinder from
a oval? As they give me their ideas, I will write them on the board. Finally,
we will talk about what the different things that are in life that are
cylinders. Such as a coffee can and oatmeal container. Then I will explain to
my students how we fill these with things and how ovals would just be flat. (Visual
Spatial, Linguistic)
Activity 3: Our last shape of the day will be a cone. I will pull out
the cone and tell my students what the name of it is. Then I will ask my
students what two-dimensional shape that this reminds them of. Then I will take
their guesses for a while and then tell them that it is kind of like a circle
and triangle to together. We will then discuss how it is different from the
circle and triangle. Next I will ask them what life items might be cone shaped.
They will have three minutes to give me some ideas and I will also contribute
some as well. (Visual
Spatial, Linguistic)
Day 2
Activity 1:
At
this time, I will take out my cube, triangle prism and square prism models that
I previously printed from my 3D printer and pass them around the room. The
students will pass these around for five minutes and look at the different
things about the shapes. After the shapes have returned back to me then I will
hold up the cube. I will then tell my students that this a cube and then ask
them to tell me what two-dimensional shape that it reminds them of. I will
listen to their ideas and then tell them that it is close to a square. We will
then take this time for the students and I to discuss what the different item
in our lives that our cubes. I will then explain to them how a cube is able to
be filled, but a square is not. (Visual Spatial, Linguistic, Kinesthetic)
Activity 2: Next,
I will hold up a triangle prism. I will tell my students that this is a
triangle prism and ask them to tell me what two-dimensional shape it reminds
them of. I will then listen to their answers and then I will tell them that it
would be closest to a triangle. Then we will talk about what in our lives would
be in the shape of a triangle prism. We will talk about these for a while and
then we will move on to our last shape. (Visual Spatial, Linguistic)
Activity 3: Our final shape will be a square prism. I will hold up the
square prism and tell my students what it is. Then I will ask my students to
tell me what shape two-dimensional shape that it reminds them of. I will listen
to their answers and then I will tell them that it is like a triangle. Then we will
talk about what in our lives would be in the shape of a square prism. (Visual
Spatial, Linguistic)
Activity 4: The
students will get their chrome books out and we will play a game of kahoot.
This kahoot will be over three dimensional and two dimensional shapes. After we
are done with this I will hand out their worksheet. (Visual Spatial,
Linguistic, Kinesthetic)
Activity 5:
The students will work on their worksheets. This worksheet will have then color
and sort two dimensional shapes from three dimensional shapes. https://www.learningyay.com/first-grade/two-or-three-dimensional-shapes-worksheet/(Visual

c. Closure
At the end of day two we
will look over their worksheets and then review on what a three-dimensional
shape is. Then I will ask them to tell me a few of the shapes that we went over
the last two days.
Assessment
I will assess my students learning by grading their
worksheets. This will allow me to see what they learned from the last two days
of learning.
Brianna, I loved your Lesson Plan. Very well organized, great integration of the all materials for the students, and apps. I think this lesson will be great for the students that are tactile, vision, and kinetic learners. I really enjoy reading it, I can't wait for you to get to do it in class!
ReplyDeleteGreat lesson plan Brianna! The 3D shapes are hard to learn and teach when you only have paper to do it. This is a great way to incorporate the 3D printing. This will help the students learn this a lot easier and it hands-on. Your Kahoot is a great way to see if students understand what a 3D shape is.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great lesson plan over shapes. Having the 3D shapes to go with the lesson plan makes it easier for them to learn. What I really liked about this lesson plan is that you can relate the shapes to real life. This makes it a fun learning experience for the students. They can look around the classroom to see what they can find.
ReplyDeleteBrianna, You have such a sweet smile and the sweetest voice. You are going to be the kind of teacher kids feel very loved by. Your lesson was Great and I think you presented it VERY WELL. It was organized and put together in such a smooth manner! Great Job Girl!!
ReplyDeleteI thought your lesson plan was very organized and thought you did a great job of presenting it today! It will be a lesson your kids remember for a long time.
ReplyDeleteThis lesson about three dimensional shapes so innovative and productive. You did a great job presenting it to the class. I really enjoyed how you used the Kahoot! as a quiz. Great job
ReplyDeleteI like how you broke up the three dimensional shapes into separate lessons that were focused on the 2d shape. Breaking down the lesson really simplifies the shapes enough for the students to truly grasp the concepts of each shape.
