Shapes Around Us
(Maths, Technology, Art, English)
Objective: Students will:
I can see a circle,
I can see a square,
I can see a triangle
Sitting right there.
I can see a rectangle
Blue as can be.
A diamond and an oval
Looking right at me.
To play “I Spy” one student finds objects which are different shapes. The student should say “I spy with my little eyes something square”
Other students might guess, “Is it a clock?” or “Is it a pencil sharpener?” Students keep guessing until somebody identifies the object correctly. Continue playing the game with other shapes.
Break students into pairs and ask them to show different shapes with the help of their hands.
Break students into pairs and give them a set of different shapes. Tell students they will be creating their own “shape animals”.
When the group has finished ask them to complete the table:
What did you create? |
|
What shapes did you use? |
|
Do you like this animal? |
|
Where does it live? |
|
What can it do? |
|
The aim of this activity is to guess the name of animal which was created by students. So the pair should answer different questions. Possible questions may include the following:
Have students create a poster about animals they created. When students have finished their poster have a poster presentation.
