Lesson Plan Geometric Solids Kindergarten
Lesson Plan
Name: Geometric Solids
Content Area: Math
Grade Level: Kindergarten
Time Frame: 45 min
Prior to this lesson the students had a lesson on attributes. The children defined and identified attributes in different two-dimensional shapes.
MA Framework Standard: Geometry K.G Identify and describe shapes (squares, circles, triangles, rectangles, hexagons, cubes, cones, cylinders, and spheres). 2. Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size. Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-dimensional (“solid”).
Student Learning Objective:
CONTENT OBJECTIVE: Student will be able to identify the following geometric solids: cube, sphere, cylinder, and cone. LANGUAGE OBJECTIVE: Student will use the following terms when identifying geometric solids: cube, sphere, cylinder, and cone.
Interdisciplinary content area: Language
Materials necessary for today’s lesson:
For Students: For Teacher
Colored Pencils or crayons -Geometric solids
Pencil -Cube, sphere, cylinder, cone Enough sets for each group of four students to have a complete set -Pictures of cubes, spheres, cylinders, and cones. -Tally sheet one for each group -Worksheet one per student
Academic Vocabulary:
Cube, sphere, cylinder cone, attribute, geometric solid, three-dimensional
The Learning Activity:
Invite the children to circle. Ask the children if they remember when we talked about attributes. Remind the children of the attribute lesson when we described shapes such as triangles, squares and circles. Tell them that today we will look at some shapes similar to those, but that all share a specific attribute. Place the geometric solids in the center of the circle. Ask the children to name some attributes of the geo solids. Lead them to the discovery that they are all three-dimensional. “Do you remember when we discussed the
