Lesson: 3D Shapes School:
Date: Teacher:
Class: Primary 2 Class size:
Learning Identify and describe 3D shapes
Objectives:
Lesson -Identify, describe, sort and name the 3D shapes by their properties (number
objectives: and shapes of faces, edges, vertices)
Vocabulary: cube, cuboid, cylinder, sphere, square-based pyramid, face, edge, vertices,
surface
Previous cube, sphere, cylinder
learning:
Plan
Activities Resources
Beginning - Choose 3D shapes they already know A set of 3D shapes
(5 mins) and ask them questions. Cube
- Give Learners to discuss what they Sphere
understand and know.
Cylinder
Eg. What shape is this?
Who can tell me about this?
Does the cube have four or six faces?
Are the faces all the same size or are they
different?
Middle
(30 mins) - Explain about cuboid, square-based pyramid Cuboid
(face, edges, vertices) Pyramid
- Show that 3D shapes are made of 2D shapes 3D shapes and a sheet with
(drawing round the face of cube to show the the outline of 2D shapes
square) Bamboozles
- Let them watch the YouTube video YouTube video
-Do the Learner Book Exercise 2.1 question 1 ,2
and 3
- Play bamboozles
End
(10 mins) - Play the game “What am I?
Additional Information
Assessment Health and safety issues?
Differentiation
ICT access?
For slow learners: Play the game “What am I?” Bamboozle games
-Use real object to learn YouTube video
-Discuss with other students Both self-assessment and peer
about the shapes assessment can be used for
For Confident learners: this activity, where learners are
-Additional work sheet with able to hear and see what other
3D shapes have done and can use this to
support or challenge their own
ideas.
Reflection and evaluation
Reflection:
Were the lesson objectives Yes
realistic? -3D shapes and their properties
What did the learners learn -students participated in learning actively
today? - preparing additional work is great idea
What was the learning - preparing two games is not enough time for lesson
atmosphere like? Did my planned
- reduce the game activity
differentiation work well? Did I
stick to timings?
What changes did I make from my
plan and why?
Summary/Evaluation
What two things went really well? Consider both teaching and learning.
1. learners know 3D shapes well
2. can connect between 3D shapes and 2D shapes
What two things would have improved the lesson? Consider both teaching and learning.
1. using 3D shapes to build towers
2. explain which 3D shapes they use in their tower.
What have I learned from this lesson about the class or individuals that will inform my next
lesson?
Learners understand the lesson more when they see the real 3D shapes instead of
playing games.
