Key Facts & Information

LEARNING OBJECTIVE

  • At the end of the lesson, students will be able to correctly name 10 2D shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size. Students will understand that 2D shapes are flat.

A NOTE FOR THE TEACHER

  • When teaching students the names and properties of 2D shapes, try the following in your lesson:
    • Start by establishing vocabulary for basic 2D shapes.
    • Once the vocabulary is established, then move on to describing the properties of each shape.
    • Then, introduce shapes of different sizes and orientations, and angles.

THEORY

  • Students may already be able to identify shapes and their names from practicing with flashcards; however, they may not know or understand the properties of each shape. It is important to focus on explaining why a given shape is the one it is. This way, it doesn’t matter what size or orientation a shape is; students will still be able to correctly identify it. Students must also understand that a two-dimensional shape is flat. You can demonstrate this by holding up shapes cut from colored cards.
