Lesson Plan: Discovering Shapes through Real-world Examples

Objective:
 Students will be able to recognize and describe different shapes.
 Students will be able to identify shapes in real-world objects.
 Students will be able to create their own shapes using various materials.

Materials Needed:
 Pictures of everyday objects with different shapes (e.g. clock, book, pencil)
 Chart paper
 Markers
 Craft materials (e.g. paper, crayons, pipe cleaners)

Warm-up Activity:
1. Show students pictures of everyday objects and ask them to identify the shapes they see.
2. Discuss the characteristics of each shape and how they relate to the real-world objects.

Lesson Development:
1. Introduce different shapes (circle, square, triangle, rectangle) with examples from the
students’ environment.
2. Discuss the unique features of each shape and why they are important in everyday life.
3. Have students identify and categorize objects with similar shapes based on their
characteristics.
4. Allow students to create their own shapes using craft materials and encourage them to
explain the attributes of their creations.

Hands-on Activity:
1. Provide each student with craft materials and ask them to create a collage or sculpture
using different shapes.
2. Instruct students to label the shapes they used and explain why they chose specific shapes
for their artwork.
3. Encourage students to share their creations with the class and discuss the shapes they
used.

Conclusion:
 Review the different shapes and their characteristics.
 Reflect on how shapes can be found in various aspects of the students’ daily lives.

Assessment:
 Observe students during the hands-on activity to assess their understanding of shapes and
ability to create their own shapes.
 Ask students to describe the attributes of a specific shape and provide real-world
examples to evaluate individual comprehension.

Extension:
 Challenge students to identify and sketch shapes they encounter in their surroundings.
 Integrate technology by using shape recognition apps or online shape games for
additional practice.
By exploring shapes through real-world examples and engaging in hands-on activities, students
will deepen their understanding of shapes while fostering creativity and observation skills.
