LESSON PLAN OF TWO DIMENSIONAL FIGURES

 

LESSON PLANNING OF TWO DIMENSIONAL FIGURES

Subject Mathematics

Grade 2nd

Students` Learning Outcomes

  • Students will be able to:
  • Identify the figures like square, rectangle, triangle, circle, semi-circle and quarter circle.
  • Identify vertices and sides of a triangle, rectangle and square.

Information for Teachers

  • Students already have a good idea of different basic shapes so start the lesson by using these ideas.
  • The shapes having only length and width are called two dimensional (2D) shapes e.g. square, rectangle, triangle etc.
  • The shapes having length, width and height as well are called three dimensional (3D) shapes e.g. book, box, geometry box, cupboard, door etc.
  • Circle and oval shapes have no corners and four sides.
  • Triangle has three corners and three sides.
  • A vertex is the corner of any shape. Its plural is called vertices.
  • It is necessary for teacher to understand comprehensively the mathematical terms e.g. e.gcorners or vertices, sides, circle, semi-circle, quarter circle.
  • During this lesson teacher should concern the textbook where and when needed.

Material / Resources

Writing board, chalk / marker, duster, glass, card sheet, scissors, 2D shapes model (triangle, rectangle and square), sign board, electric board, charts, cover of lunch boxes, slate, bed sheets, doppatta, plastic sheet, textbook

Introduction

  • Ask following questions from the whole class:

What is the shape of the board of classroom?

  • Identify the corners of this board.                (4)
  • How many sides does this board have?       (4)
  • Show them one note book, ask about its shape, corner and the number of sides it has.
  • Repeat the same with different objects of different shapes.
  • Give them few cutouts of square, rectangle and triangles and ask them to sort out similar shapes.
Development

Activity 1

  • Show the students cut outs of different shapes like square, rectangle and triangle.
  • Ask them to tell the names of these shapes.
  • Help them in telling name of shapes.

  • Ask them to give examples from their surroundings of the objects similar to these shapes.
  • Draw a “shapes house” and ask them to identify shapes.

Activity 2

  • Demonstrate to the students how they can make a circle, semi-circle, and quarter circle by using a card sheet or piece of paper.
  • Take a card sheet or piece of paper and draw a circle with the help of a glass. Cut this circle with the help of scissors. 
  • Show and tell them that this is called circle.
  • Ask one of the students to fold this circle into two halves. Now open the circle and cut it into two equal parts along the folding line.
  • Show both half`s circle and tell them that each part is called a semi-circle.
  • You may refer back to the concept of fractions at this point.
  • Tell the students that each semi-circle is ½ or half of the original circle.
  • Ask two of the students to take a semi-circle and fold it into two halves. Cut each semicircle into two equal parts along the folding line. Show cut part of a semicircle to students and tells them that each part is known as a quarter circles.
  • You may remind them of fractions at this point.
  • Remind them that in fraction term “a quarter” is written as ¼.
  • Sum up the activity by explaining that a circle is equally divided in two parts.
  • Each part is called semicircle and each of those two semicircles is further divided into two quarter circles and hence / there are four quarters in a circle. 

Activity 3

  • Divide the class in groups of four.
  • Provide each group with different shapes cards e.g.
  • Tell each group to highlight / colour the corners of each shape.
  • Give them some time for discussion within groups.
  • Ask any two groups to present their work for whole class and point out corners in each shape.
  • Encourage other students to ask different questions from presenters to clear the concept further.
  • Sum up the activity by explaining that a corner of any shape is called vertex, explain about the sides of shapes as well. Be sure about the use of Mathematical vocabulary. 

Activity 4

  • Show a plate of square shape to the student. (Carton)
  • Ask students to tell sides and vertices of the plate.
  • Put a mark or a line on the vertex which they have already counted to avoid from second time counting.
  • Facilitate if they find difficulty in identification of vertices and sides.
  • Repeat the same procedure by showing them different 2D objects e.g. sign board, electric board, charts, cover of lunch boxes, slate etc.

Activity 5

  • Divide the class in four groups.
  • Provide each group different 2D objects e.g. paper, plastic sheet, bed sheet, doppatta etc.
  • Ask them to identify and explain the sides and vertices of these objects to each other within group.
  • Sum up the activity by asking following questions:
  • How many sides and vertices does a square and a rectangle has?
  • How many sides and vertices does a triangle has?

Activity 6

  • Provide them a work sheet with different shapes drawn on it, or draw these on the board for the students to copy on their notebooks.

Sum up / Conclusion

  • Square and rectangle have four corners and four sides.
  • Triangle has three corners and three sides.
  • A vertex is the corner of any shape. Its plural is vertices.
  • If we divide whole circle in two parts, the two semi-circles are formed and if a semi-circle is divided in two parts, two quarter circles are formed.

Assessment

  • Draw different shapes on board and label them with the help of students.
  • Ask following questions from students:
  • What is the appropriate word for corner? (Mathematical vocabulary)
  • How many sides and vertices does your class room wall have?
  • Teacher is also required to involve the students in solving the problems given in the exercise at end of unit / chapter.

Follow up

  • Ask students to draw different shapes e.g. square, rectangle, triangle, circle, semi-circle and quarter circle in their note nooks.
  • Ask them to colour their vertices and write how many sides each shape have?
  • Ask the students to solve the questions given in their textbook.
  • Ask the students to draw things which are found in kitchen.

  Lesson Planning of Ascending & Descending Order Subject Mathematics Grade 2 nd Students` Learning Outcomes §   Arrange numbers up to 999, written in mixed form, in increasing or decreasing orders. §   Identify numbers given in ascending or descending orders.   Information for Teachers §   Ascending order means the arrangement of numbers from smallest to greatest. §   Descending order means the arrangement of numbers from greatest to smallest. §   With the help of the concept of comparison we arrange numbers in ascending or descending orders. Material / Resources Writing board, chalk / marker, duster, textbook Introduction Tell the students, that sometimes backward counting is very useful for the identification of numbers. Specifically when we are moving towards a destination ascending order and descending order are very important. Tell them that in descending order we move from greatest number to smallest number and in ascending order ewe move from sma
