Key Terms: !ircle, square, rectangle, triangle, sides, ertices, right angles, angles, identify Engage: (Time: 5 minutes "ollowing pre#assessment, hold up the $ shapes and tell the students that we are going to learn all about these shapes% Tell them that shapes are all around us, so we need to &now about them. 'e(re going to learn to draw them, trace them, find them, sort them, and identify them by their rules% E!plore: (Time: "# minutes )ass out plastic shapes to the class so that they can ha e something in their hand as we tal& about the shapes. Start with the circle and identify it, e*plain that it is a cur ed line that connects% Then show the other + shapes and identify them. ,o shapes one at a time so that students don(t confuse them. E!plain: (Time: $5 minutes -*plain and demonstrate what sides are, what ertices are, and what right angles are. Ma&e an anchor chart with the shapes listed, and columns for the sides, ertices, and right angles. .o through the remaining shapes and identify them, count sides, count ertices, and count right angles. !omplete anchor chart as you go. !ount each item se eral times and ha e students say it with you..
