TEKS Based Lesson Plan
Subject: 4th Grade Math
Weeks: 3rd Nine Weeks Group 2
Unit of Study: Geometry: 3D Shapes
Essential Questions:
1. What is the difference between 2D and 3D geometric figures?
2. What are the attributes of 3D shapes?
TEKS/Essence Statements:
4.8) Geometry and spatial reasoning. The student identifies and describes attributes of
geometric figures using formal geometric language. The student is expected to:
(A) Use essential attributes to define two- and three- dimensional geometric figures.
Critical Skills/Postsecondary Goals:
This section needs to be completed based on the students in your class.
Instruction/Classroom Activities:
Small Group Instruction:
• The teacher will show the students the following song by Harry Kindergarten 3 D shapes
I know (songs for kids) on YouTube.
• The teacher will show the students the following shapes sphere, cylinder, cube and a
cone.
• The teacher will discuss the attributes of each shape.
• The teacher will then present a Birthday hat
• The teacher will hand the birthday hat to a student and ask them to place that item by the
correct 3D shape.
• The teacher will continue to present various objects and have the students match them to
their correct 3D shape.
• The teacher will show the students the following song by Harry Kindergarten 2D shapes
I know (Songs for kids) on YouTube.
ü The teacher will show the following shapes square, circle, triangle, and rectangle.
ü The teacher will discuss the attributes of each shape.
ü The teacher will then present the following objects:
ü The teacher will hand an object to the student and ask them to place that item by
the correct 2D shape.
Stations/Centers:
Station 1: File folder on 3D and 2D shapes. Have the student sort them accordingly.
Station 2: Provide a bin with a variety of shapes. Have students sort the shapes (i.e. put all
spheres together; put all cubes together, etc).
Station 3: Provide magazines or pre-cut pictures of different objects and several sheets of blank
paper with the names of 3D shapes (i.e. sphere, cube, cone, etc.). Have students cut pictures or
sort pre-cut pictures and glue under the correct label.
