Changing Shape Changing Shape 1
PURPOSE Why am I teaching this lesson? What do I want the students to know/to be able to do by
the end of the lesson that they could not do before? (LOs and SOs)

Students will be able to:

Sort materials according to whether their shape can or cannot be changed.
Identify which skills used for changing each shape.
GROUPING: What is the group size? How is every student going to be able to participate? Will you
be differentiating and how?

Group size: Each group consists of 6 students unless one group has 8 students. (one
low level group, two middle level groups, and two high level groups).
How is every student is going to participate? I will give each student the chance
to answer, there is an individual work for students to do, and I will choose randomly
from the name list or throwing the dice.
The differentiation worksheets:
- Low: will have four pictures in the worksheet to classify.
- Middle: will have five pictures in the worksheet to classify.
- High: will have five pictures in the worksheet to classify (two pictures will be for materials that
they didn't observe with the teacher).

Key terms with definitions (and pictures if appropriate):

word glossary definition image

Squashing Crush or squeeze

(something) with force so
that it becomes flat, soft, or
out of shape.

Bending Shape or force (something

straight) into a curve or
angle.

Twisting Form into a bent, curling, or

distorted shape.

Stretching (of something soft or

elastic) be made or be
capable of being made
longer or wider without
!
tearing or breaking.

Students Prior Knowledge:

Students already know the four skills used for changing shapes (bending, twisting,
stretching and squashing).
Students already know that some materials that can change shapes and others cannot
change shapes but don't know which ones and how do we change each one.
Possible Problems :
Students may not follow directions.
Students may complain about each others.
Solutions for the Possible Problems:
I will specify my classroom rules clearly before I start and saying that not following
directions and complaining will cause removing a gum from the groups gum machine.

Misconceptions:
Students may misunderstand the worksheet.
Solutions for Misconceptions:
I will explain it well before I give it to them.
