Topic: Shapes Patterns.

I. Content and Standards: VA

o NCTM Standards: 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 13.

II. Prerequisites: know how to create a pattern.

o Vocabulary:

o Pattern: repeating something over and over.

o Shape: a shape is the way something looks or form.

III. Essential Questions:

o What comes next? Commented [Office1]: This is where I got the questions I
used when I was teaching.
IV. Instructional Objective:

 Students will identify, copy, and extend two-and three-element shape patterns. Commented [Office2]: Domain 3b. Using questioning and
discussion techniques. This is my objective of what students
will be learning. This is the content I taught my students as
V. Instructional Procedures: well. Students identify that “square, circle, square” is a
pattern because it repeats itself. I made a pattern on the
carpet and asked students to copy the patterns. Most of the
a. Before: 5 minutes
advance made a three-element shape pattern.

1. Invite students to the carpet.

2. Explain lesson and what students are going to learn by saying: “Today, we will

learn about shape patterns.” I will ask students: “What is a shape patterns?” I

will call on one student to share answer. Commented [Office3]: Domain 3a. Communicating with
students. I clearly communicate and I explained what they
are going to learn today and what they are going to do
3. I will explain the different activities students will participate in to help improve when they are back at their table.

their understanding of shape patterns. Commented [Office4]: What students will do.
 4. I will read a book Patterns by Michele Koomen.

b. During: 30 minutes:

1. I will model a shape patterns using animal toys with different shapes. Commented [Office5]: Domain 3c: Engaging students in

instruction. Student copy what I made. Students also
participate in reading shape patterns and help finish a shape
3. I will show Students how I did mine on the board and then students will copy pattern together. This went well because students helped
the students who got stuck creating a pattern up.
what I did.

4. Students will practice creating shape patterns with their math group during math

center

5. Activity #1: Patterns with shape worksheet. (Two tables).

6. Activity #2: Making shapes with magnet shapes on the white board. (Two tables).

Notes: Two table are going to participate in different activity to practice

creating shape patterns during math group and then they will flip flop

instead of rotating. Commented [Office7]: Domain 3e: Demonstrating

flexibility and Responsiveness. Students are engaged in
different activity that involve creating shape patterns.
C) After: 5 minutes Student discussed their shape with a teacher and then
create a different shape patterns. During math centers, I

I asked students to make multiple shapes patterns and then
2. How could you describe the shape of a pumpkin? (Round, curvy…). asked them to read it to me.

What about a flower? (pointed, curvy, and round). Commented [Office8]: Overall lesson was successful.
Afterward, they shared what they learned about shape
patterns. I review with them that a pattern repeats itself

student.

 Modeled shapes pattern to students and have him or her copy it. Have

students practice showing another way or organizing shapes pattern.
