THEME: Shapes and Geometry

TOPIC: 2 and 3-Dimensional Shapes

SUB-TOPIC: Constructing and Identifying 2D and 3D Shapes

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the lesson, the pupils should be able to:
1. Construct 2D shapes (square, rectangle, circle) using cardboard, scissors, and rulers.
2. Construct 3D shapes (cube, cuboid, cylinder) using cardboard, scissors, and rulers.
3. Identify cubes, cuboids, and cylinders as types of prisms.
4. State the properties of cubes, cuboids, and pyramids (faces, edges, vertices).

PREREQUISITE KNOWLEDGE:

The pupils are familiar with basic shapes (square, rectangle, circle) and have seen 3D shapes (like a box or dice) in real life.

INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS:

1. Cardboard sheets
   2. Scissors
   3. Rulers
   4. Tape
   5. Markers or pens
   6. Pictures of real-life 3D shapes (cube, cuboid, cylinder, pyramid)
   7. 3D models of cubes, cuboids, and cylinders (optional).

LESSON DEVELOPMENT

INTRODUCTION:

TEACHER’S ACTIVITIES:
The teacher begins by asking the pupils: ‘What are 2D and 3D shapes? Can you name some examples?’
The teacher also gives a brief explanation of the difference between 2D and 3D shapes.
The teacher shows a few examples of 2D shapes and 3D shapes to the students.

PUPIL’S ACTIVITIES:
The pupils respond by naming shapes they know and give examples of 2D and 3D shapes they have seen in real life.

LEARNING POINTS:
The difference between 2D and 3D shapes and their real-life applications.

PRESENTATION:

STEP I:

TEACHER’S ACTIVITIES:
The teacher explains that 2D shapes are flat and have only length and width, while 3D shapes have length, width, and height.
The teacher introduces the concept of constructing 2D and 3D shapes using cardboard and scissors.

PUPIL’S ACTIVITIES:
The pupils watch as the teacher demonstrates the construction of a 2D square and a 3D cube using cardboard and scissors.

LEARNING POINTS:
To understand the distinction between 2D and 3D shapes.

STEP II:

TEACHER’S ACTIVITIES:
The teacher guides the pupils in constructing 2D shapes like squares, rectangles, and circles using the materials provided.

PUPIL’S ACTIVITIES:
The pupils work individually or in pairs to create 2D shapes using cardboard, scissors, and rulers.

LEARNING POINTS:
To develop skills in constructing 2D shapes.

STEP III:

TEACHER’S ACTIVITIES:
The teacher explains how to construct 3D shapes such as cubes, cuboids, and cylinders. Demonstrates with cardboard and tape.

PUPIL’S ACTIVITIES:
The pupils construct 3D shapes (cubes, cuboids, and cylinders) using cardboard, tape, and scissors.

LEARNING POINTS:
To practice constructing 3D shapes.

STEP IV:

TEACHER’S ACTIVITIES:
The teacher discusses the properties of cubes, cuboids, and cylinders: number of faces, edges, and vertices.
The teacher asks pupils to count the number of faces, edges, and vertices on their 3D shapes.

PUPIL’S ACTIVITIES:
The pupils count the faces, edges, and vertices on their constructed shapes and write down the findings.

LEARNING POINTS:
To understand the properties of cubes, cuboids, and cylinders.

EVALUATION:

TEACHER’S ACTIVITIES:
The teacher evaluates the pupils by asking questions about the properties of the shapes: ‘How many faces does a cube have?’ ‘What is the difference between a cuboid and a cube?’

PUPIL’S ACTIVITIES:
The pupils respond to the teacher’s questions, demonstrating their understanding of 2D and 3D shapes.

LEARNING POINTS:
To assess pupils’ understanding of the properties and construction of 2D and 3D shapes.

CONCLUSION/SUMMARY:

TEACHER’S ACTIVITIES:
The teacher summarizes the lesson by reviewing the key points: the difference between 2D and 3D shapes, the process of constructing shapes, and the properties of cubes, cuboids, and cylinders.

PUPIL’S ACTIVITIES:
The pupils respond to the teacher’s review questions and copy down the summary notes.

LEARNING POINTS:
To consolidate learning and clear any misconceptions.

HOME FUN:

The teacher gives the following questions to the pupils to take home for further understanding on the topic:

1. Draw a cube, cuboid, and cylinder and label their faces, edges, and vertices.
2. Find one real-life example of a cube, cuboid, and cylinder around your house and describe its properties.
