Objectives -To sort shapes.-To create a graphic organizer.-To identify, draw and describe shapes.-To play "who am I" game
Key Question: How do we name, recognise and describe 2-D shapes? Aim: To teach learners how to name, recognise and describe 2-D shapes
Morning grade 2's. Lets get started on Mathematics. Let's settle down and look at 2-D shapes
Introduction
critical thinking- learners have to think what the shapes look like, similarities and differences.
Here are straws, I want each of you to make a circle, square, rectangle & triangle
18 October 2021 What do we call these shapes? 2-D shapes. Shapes that are flat.
These are 2-D shapes Ma'am
Principle 1: The making of shapes using straws and a discussion will prior knowledge to be revealed and linked to.
Introduction
18 October 2021 Discuss what the shapes look like. Can you see any similarities and differences between them?
Principle 2: learners are not given too much information. Principle 5:making the shapes& having a discussion will prompt learners to focus and pay attention to the lesson
Let's get into groups of 4 and have a discussion
communication - learners share what they know about shapes.

Engaging Phase
In pairs, fill in the sheet
Graphic Organizer
collaboration - learners work in pairs to achieve a goal.
18 October 2021 Let's learn about 2-D shapes attributes. Let us make a graphic organizer
Are the shapes similar? How are they similar? How many lines does a square have
Lets work Thabo
Principle 2: Information is presented in chunks and complimented with visual aids.
Engaging Phase
Principle 3: Tasks provide practice and keep learners engaged. Feedback can given when learners answer question.
It's a circle because it has no straight lines.
Graphic Organizer
18 October 2021 Play the "Who am I" game. Read the description and identify who the shape is.
It is a rectangle because it has 4 sides
Yes, the line is curved.
communication - learners will clearly articulate their reasons while playing the game.
I am here to help .
No, it's a square because all the sides are equal
Mmhh... i think this one is a square
Engaging Phase
I'm walking around to help you. Just raise your hand if you need help
18 October 2021 Individual task Read the description then identify and draw the correct shape
Principle 5: Tasks provided will keep learners attention focussed on the lesson.
