Subject:
Math
Date Taught: Monday 10th.Feb.2008 Grade: Two
Title: Geometry/ Solid Figures
Time: 45 min.
Objectives:
1-Revise the plane shapes e.g. square, circle, rectangle, triangle.
2-Name the solid shapes
3-Identify the faces of solid figures as plane shapes.
4- Identify the number of edges & vertices of solid shapes.
Standard:
6.3 Identify & name the cube, cuboid, sphere, cylinder, cone &
pyramid; describe simple properties of these shapes using every day
language.
Materials:
1-Flash cards to present the new
words such as: pyramid, cube,
cylinder, cone, cuboid, vertices
and edges.
2- Solid figures & plane shapes.
3-Real objects represent
different solid shapes e.g.
different sizes of boxes ,ball,
birthday hat
4- worksheet
Activating prior knowledge/focus:
1-Greet the children then introduce the new
lesson by telling them that they will learn
the names of some solid shapes & describe
some of their properties.
2- Revise the names of flat shapes by
holding them up & ask the students to name
them.
3- Ask the students to divide A4 paper into
8 by folding it in half 3 times. Ask them to
draw a square, circle, triangle & rectangle in
each part. Call out the name of one of the
four shapes e.g. triangle. Children should
cross out any triangles the have drawn.
Hold up the correct shape so they can check
if they’re correct. The first child who
crosses all the shapes wins.

Teaching Procedure:
1- Distribute different objects among the groups & ask them how
they’re look like? E.g. the cube look like a square, it has 6 square
Faces. The cuboid has 2 square faces & 4 rectangular faces.
2- Start introducing the names of each solid shape.e.g. This is
called a cuboid .How is it different from the cube? Can you see
any objects around the room that are this shape? Where in Doha
have you seen this shape? (The towers).
3- Hold up the pyramid .This is the pyramid where might you have
seen this shape? (In Egypt) you can show a photograph if possible.
4- Hold up the cylinder and say its name then ask: How is it
different from the cuboid?
5- Hold up the sphere and say: This is a sphere. How could you
describe it?
6- Point out to the flat surfaces, edges & vertex and explain the
meaning of each word.
7- Model how to count the flat surfaces, edges & vertex on a cube,
and record number of each on board.
8- Have group of children repeat with other solids.
9- Children can place a small piece of tape on each part to help keep
track as they count.
Students Activity:
Group work:
1- Give each group different net to cut it out & figure out which
solid shape would be made from their net. Then write the name
of that solid on the shape they made.
2- Each group will take a solid shape and a worksheet to fill the
blanks by writing the name of their shape and find how many
vertex, edge & faces does it have. Then groups will switch the
shapes.( w.sh number 1)
Closure:
1-Play “the mystery shape” with students. Ask the group to draw a
name of solid shape that are in the box, and then ask one student to
present her group by answering other groups’ questions who will try to
reveal the name of their shape.
Ask students which shape were easy to guess? Why? Which took more
questions? Why?
Which were good questions to ask?
2- Revise with students what was the lesson about, & what are the
names of the solid shapes we were talking about.

Lesson Extension and/or Modification:
Give each table at least one set of solid shapes: cube, cuboid, sphere,
cylinder, cone & pyramid.
 If we wanted to sort these shapes into two hoops, how could we
do that?
 Ask children to discuss this in pairs and to share their ideas with
another pair. Take feedback. Make sure that the ideas include
sorting according to whether the shapes have vertices or not, a
circular face or not, will roll or not. Ask the children to sort the
shapes into one of two categories.
Assessment:
Give each student a work sheet to circle the correct shape & write the
number of edges, vertices & flat surfaces for each shape.
