3D Shapes


Lesson: Math

Subject: 3D Shapes

Grade: 4th grade

Duration: 1 hour

  1. Target Outcomes:

 

Cognitive Process Outcomes:

 The outcomes of the center discipline:

Obj1. To name the characteristics of the 3d shapes ;

Obj2. To establish similarities and differences, using the Venn diagram;

Obj3. To recognize, in architectural constructions, the geometric shapes used;

Obj4. To reproduce, with the given materials, the studied geometric bodies.

 

Outcomes of other STEAM disciplines:

Art

To build different types of buildings using the given materials.

1.2. Social Product Outcomes:

• Working in a team,

 • Communicating,

 • Being able to share problem and solution-oriented ideas,

• Fulfilling their duties and responsibilities,

• Presenting the product effectively,

• Understanding the importance of cooperation and collaboration .

2. Materials Used:

Paper, cardboard, ducktape

 

3. Resources

 

 Laptop, videoprojector,

 

4. Learning Methods and Techniques

Argumentation Based Learning Method

collaborative work

 

5. Groups Considered to be Formed During the Activity:

Mixed groups

 


6. Implementation Phase;

6.1 Preparation Phase:

Children are being presented images with up-side-down buildings

 

6.2: Presenting the problem situation to the student :

Each building is associated with a geometrical shape.


6.3: Obtaining Information (Leading Questions)

Students are being asked how was possible to build and how can people live there.

 


6.4: Idea Development

 

Working in groups, students describe the given shapes. They compare the shapes, two by two,  completing the Venn diagram.

 

6.5: Product Development:

 

 Using GeoGebra app, students apply the knowledge about shapes, inserting different elements to embellish the work.

 

Making the Prototype:

 

Using cardboard  and duck tape, students build shapes necessary to reproduce the buildings in a town.

 

6.6. Sharing and Mirroring

Children reproduce the model of a city using the cardboard buidings.

 

6.7 Evaluation:

 

Students have to fulfill the “Shape book”, a worksheet that evaluates the lesson.
