2d and 3d Shapes Sequence Lesson Plan

Subject/Grade: 3 - Mathematics Lesson/Date: Thursday, Jan13 and Fri Jan 14th Time: 60 min
Stage 1: Desired Results

Lesson Students will review what they have learnt in the previous couple of days with Ms. Mawani.
Overview: Students will practice identifying faces, edges and vertices on 3D shapes by solving a problem.
Students will act as detectives to find the shape that fits the description. Students will also
review polygons and sort them into categories
GOs: Students will:
Describe the characteristics of 3-D objects and 2-D shapes, and analyze the relationships
among them.
SOs: Students will:
Specific Outcome 6
Describe 3-D objects according to the shape of the faces and the number of edges and vertices.
Specific Outcome 7
Sort regular and irregular polygons, including:
● triangles
● quadrilaterals
● pentagons
● hexagons
● octagons
according to the number of sides.
Learning Students will:

Objectives ● Students will sort shapes according to the number of sides, edges and vertices
● Students will develop understanding for different shapes, both 2D and 3D
● Students will work as a group to determine shapes based on descriptions
● Students will sort 2D shapes, including triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons into
boxes based on the # of sides they have.
Stage 2: Assessment Evidence

Formative Students will hand in their 2D shape Summative
Assessment sort as formative and possibly Assessment
summative assessment.
Stage 3: Learning Experience

Prior to Print off activity sheets. Resources: 2D Side Sort
Lesson: Print off shapes for detective
Create powerpoint for shape detective Be a Shape Detective

Introduction:
7 Review of Previous Concepts/New Learning:
minutes ** We will review concepts that Ms Mawani has taught them in the last 3 days
1.) Review the terms
Face
Edges
Vertices
- Ask students to define and label an example we will have on the board.
- Is this a 2D or 3D shape?
#2 How many sides does this shape have?
Transition - handout 2D shape sort.

Body:
20 Learning Activity 1:
minutes
2D Shape Sort.
Students will demonstrate their understanding for counting and determining
number of sides on 2D shapes by completing this activity
Students will be given a sheet that has a number of boxes starting at 3 sides all
the way up to 8 sides, on the second sheet will an assortment of shapes for
students to cut and then glue in the correct box for the number of sides it has.
EX:
Students will also be given a small piece of coloured paper in order to create
their own shape, which they will then number the sides in the last box.

Transition - have students hand in there shape sort

Learning Activity 2: FA - holding up
shapes…
Shape Detective - Reviewing 3D Shapes,
Now that we have reviewed our 2D shape we will now move on to an activity
regarding 3D shapes.
- Students will work in groups of 2 or 3 to complete this activity.
- Each group will receive a set of 3D shapes that have been cut out.
- On the board will be a clue that students need to match the shape to.
- For example it will say this shape has ..
2 faces, 2 edges and 2 vertices
- Give students time to solve with their partners/ group upon which shape
matches the description
When told, students will then hold up the shape they believe fits the riddle.
I will then pull the shape up on the board and have one group volunteer to come
up and show each: faces, vertices and edges
We will continue through the 7 slides.

Transition - have students hand shapes in and prepare for the next class.
Consolidation:
Review of Key Concepts/Point to Next Class:
To review and close up I will have students answer the question through
discussion
What is the difference between a 2D shape and a 3D shape?
Let students know we will be playing a game to solidify our understanding for
shapes!
Stage 4: Reflection
1. How the students responded to the lesson as planned and taught:
2. Specific strengths of the lesson plan and delivery:
3. Specific weaknesses in the lesson plan and delivery:
4. What must be addressed to improve this plan?

DAY 2
Stage 1: Desired Results
Lesson Students will review what they have learnt in the previous couple of days with Ms. Muwani.
Overview: Students will be practicing what they know through a fun game. Students will create riddles for
3D shapes and then work with another student/group to create the shape that is being described
in the riddle out of playdough. Students will demonstrate understanding of mathematical
geometrical language while creating the riddles
GOs: Students will:
Describe the characteristics of 3-D objects and 2-D shapes, and analyze the relationships
among them.
SOs: Students will:
Specific Outcome 6
Describe 3-D objects according to the shape of the faces and the number of edges and vertices.
Specific Outcome 7
Sort regular and irregular polygons, including:
● triangles
● quadrilaterals
● pentagons
● hexagons
● octagons
according to the number of sides.

Prior to Have sample riddles ready for Resources:
Lesson: students to get an idea.

Introduction:
7 Review of Previous Concepts/New Learning:
minutes
I will let students know that we will be doing a fun activity in order to use the
concepts that we have learnt within the last couple days.
Transition - hand out riddle template
Body:
20 Learning Activity 1:
minutes
Students will receive a riddle template, it will contain two places for students to
record/create riddles, students will think of a shape and create a riddle to
accompany it. Students may work on their own or in pairs.
** Create RIddle Template, Before letting students begin I will give them an
example, one that I created and one Ms Muwani created
- I have 6 faces,
- I have 12 edges
- I have 8 vertices
- I am used for common things such as games and keeping drinks cold
- What am i?
I have 5 faces, one of them is a square
i have 5 vertice
I have 8 edges
I am typically seen in egypt..
What am i?
Transition - when students are all finished with at least one riddle.
Learning Activity 2:
Once students have completed at least one riddle, we will be working with
others to solve them!
Hand out playdough, one per group
Students/groups will pair up with others in the class and read/show the other
group their riddle.
Students must then build the shape they are describing with playdough, switch
partners and complete the other groups riddle.
Have students switch groups ⅔ times.
By allowing students to build, they will be using different thinking and applying
their knowledge as well.
Transition - have students pack play dough up and head back to their desks.
Consolidation:
Review of Key Concepts/Point to Next Class:
Ask students if 2 or 3 of them would like to share their riddle - remind students
that have already guessed not to spoil it for those who have not.
