Compose/Decomposing 2D Shapes

Intern/Resident: Christina Rodriguez 50134098 Date: 2-6-18 Subject: Math Grade Level: 2nd

Projected Length of the Lesson: 45 minutes

Learning Objective (Learning Intention)

The student is expected to...
» decompose two-dimensional shapes
such as cutting out a square from a
rectangle, dividing a shape in half, or
partitioning a rectangle into identical
triangles and identify the resulting
geometric parts (8.E NEW)
» compose two-dimensional shapes and
three-dimensional solids with given
properties or attributes (8.D NEW)

Criteria for Success (How will you know if students master the learning objective? How will students know they were
successful?)
Students will discuss how
to compose and decompose 2D shapes
using geometric parts.

Relevance/Real World Application (Can your students explain to someone WHAT they are learning and WHY?)
Will review how different shapes are all around us. (if we have time we might do a shape walk around the school)

Interdisciplinary Connections (Other Subject Integration)

ELAR The Greedy Triangle

ELPS
ELPS: 74.4(c)(3) Students will discuss
and explain attributes of different
polygons.

Class Information
2 ESL students
5 Life Skills students (will not be in class during lesson)

Assessment Plans (Formal and Informal)

1. Assessing prior knowledge before the lesson:
Review and observation
2. Assessing understanding during the lesson:
Ask questions to assess student understanding / Observing
3. Assessing mastery after the lesson:

Lesson Procedures/Learning Activities:

Warm-up: Target Math/Number Talks - 2
digit number Expanders from the Number
Case to help students see subtraction with
regrouping in a different way. (32-28).

* Word Problem of the Day using the

attached powerpoint

Essential Questions: How can you put

two dimensional shapes together to make
a new two-dimensional shape?
How can you take apart two dimensional
shapes to make other shapes?

Instructional Strategies for High Student Engagement

Use questioning strategies that make ALL students think and answer, (thumbs up, thumbs down)

Differentiation (Content, Product and/or Process) Accommodations and Extensions

Math Rotations/Small Groups
Accommodations for SPED: Hand on activities, use of manipulatives (bag of 2D shapes in 6 different shapes for
composing and decomposing), use of notes in journal, teacher outlines and space for movement or breaks
Extensions: Have students make new shapes that have more sides than a pentagon, hexagon, or octagon. Have them
draw the shape in their math journals and list the attributes

Anticipated Student Difficulties or Misunderstandings:

Identifying new attributes of shapes once they are composed and decomposed
