Standard
This lesson plan will fulfill the LPS standard for math under the
objective of basic shapes. After this lesson students will be able to
name and describe basic shapes.
Introduction
This lesson will allow the understanding of basic shapes.
Technology
Students will use paper and crayons to draw the shapes they
Uses/Materials learned in the iMovie.
Objectives
Objective 1: Teach them the square, circle, triangle, and rectangle.
Objective 2: Take the paper and crayons to practice drawing the
shapes they learned in the video.
Objective 3: Have students point out shapes that can be found in the
classroom (ex. Circle, Clock).
Preparing the
To prepare for this lesson you will need to help the students
Student
understand that shapes are important and that they can be found
everywhere.
Assessment of Students will be learning through the stages of Blooms Taxonomy:
Create: Students will use what they have learned from the
Student
Learning
iMovie about shapes to practicing drawing shapes and
identifying them around the classroom.
Evaluate: Students will evaluate their own work, and compare
their shapes with other students.
Analyze: Students will analyze the information learned to
draw shapes.
Apply: Students will apply what they have learned practice
drawing the shapes, and then recognize and identify shapes
around the classroom.
Understand: Students must understand these shapes to
identify them, and how different shapes can make up different
objects.
Remember: Students will need to remember the key
characteristics about each shape.
Overall, students will learn by doing. They will practice drawing and
identifying the shapes after they learn them by viewing the video.

Lesson
Sequence

Measurement
of Success

1. Students in kindergarten will watch an iMovie to learn about

the key characteristics that will help them to identify shapes.
2. Students will be given a piece of paper and crayons to be
guided through drawing the shapes they just learned from the
iMovie.
3. After guided practice, each student will be asked to draw
each shape.
4.
Once the students have had practice drawing these shapes
they will then identify shapes around the classroom.
Success in this project will be measured on how well they can draw
and later identify the shapes that they learned. This project will be
useful because shapes are something that they will use for the rest
of their lives, and need to understand for future lessons.
