Developing visual images of 2-D shapes and language for describing their defining attributes
Drawing 2-D shapes
Describing and comparing 2-D shapes
Description:
Students will get out slates. Using the Teacher Presentation the Shape Card will be displayed for 5
seconds. Then the shape will be hidden and students will be asked to draw what they saw. The shape
will then be displayed for another 5 seconds, after which students will be able to revise their sketch.
Finally, the image will be displayed, and students will make any final revisions. They will then be
asked to share their strategies for remembering the shape. Repeat with additional shapes. Once
students have drawn all three triangles, ask: What is the same about these shapes? What is
different? Students will then be asked to draw a different shape that has 3 sides.
Before Phase/Anticipatory Set
Look around our classroom; see if you can identify any of the shapes that we have been talking
about. Turn to your neighbor and tell them two of the shapes that you have found. Are they triangular
prisms or rectangular prisms?
During/After Phase:
