Key Facts & Information

LEARNING OBJECTIVE:

  • At the end of the lesson, students will be able to compose two-dimensional shapes (rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-circles, and quarter-circles) to create a composite shape and compose new shapes from the composite shape.

A NOTE FOR THE TEACHER:

  • When teaching composition of 2D and 3D shapes, remember the following:
    • This lesson is about developing the spatial sense and intuition about shapes to discover their relationships to one another.
    • Use pattern blocks or attribute blocks and ask students to put together blocks to make a new shape.
    • For 3D shapes, start with concrete materials before moving to printed images to get 3D experience.

THEORY:

  • Your students have learned about basic shapes and even some composition and decomposition in kindergarten. Now it’s time for them to expand on their knowledge. They must understand that combining basic shapes can result in new shapes and that even basic shapes can be broken down into smaller shapes.

THEORY AT WORK

  • Instruction:
    • What shapes can you see here?
    • How many rectangles can you see in this shape?
    • First, draw a line around each big rectangle you see. Then color the smaller ones their own color.

  • Instruction:
    • What shapes can you see here?
    • How many triangles can you see in this shape?
    • First, draw a line around each big triangle you see. Then color the smaller ones their own color.
