Students will be able to identify the shapes in the book. (circle, triangle, square, and rectangle)
Students will be able to make real world connections to the shapes in the lesson using every day objects.
Students will be able to apply their learning when creating posters of these shapes.
Students will be able to identify these shapes in various objects of differing shapes and size.
Students will know the difference between circles, triangles, rectangles, and squares.
Students will know that size and orientation do not change the shape.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION(S) -

How are circles, triangles, rectangles, and squares different?
What makes them different?
Does size or orientation change the shape?
Can these shapes be found in every day objects? …show more content…

These questions are intended to review the material and prepare them for the exercise.
How many sides do squares and rectangles have?
How are squares and rectangles different?
What makes the circle different from the other shapes?
How many sides does a triangle have?
Does size change the shape?
Does orientation (flipping it around) change the shape? (can use the book to show flipping the shapes on the front cover)
Once the students have answered all of the questions, it is time for the application activity.
The teacher will show the students the four posters on the walls and the tape that were placed before the book share activity began.
Each poster is labelled either “Circle”, “Triangle”, “Square”, or “Rectangle”.
The teacher will then prompt the students to look at their photos they received at the beginning of the lesson. These photos will be objects they know well and should appeal to their interests.
The teacher will then tell the students to find which poster their object should be placed under and tape it there.
While the students are working to tape their objects to the wall, the teacher should be observing the students. The teacher will assist those in
