Lesson Content
MAFS.K.G.1.2 Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.
MAFS.K.G.1.3 Identify shapes as 2-D (flat) or 3-D (solid)
MAFS.K.G.2.4 Analyze and compare 2-D and 3-D shapes, in different sizes and
orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts
(e.g., number of sides and vertices/corners) and other attributes (e.g., having sides of
equal length)
How can you name and describe prisms?
Given a group of shapes, students will be able to identify prisms using their knowledge of
prism parts and other attributes.
This is part of a larger unit on 3-D shapes. Students have already learned to identify

Address the following
questions:
Why are you teaching this
objective?
Where does this lesson fit
within a larger plan?
Why are you teaching it
this way?
Why is it important for
students to learn this
concept?
Evaluation Plan- How will
you know students have
mastered your objectives?
Address the following:
What formative evidence
will you use to document
student learning during
this lesson?
What summative evidence
will you collect, either
during this lesson or in
upcoming lessons?
What Content Knowledge
is necessary for a teacher
to teach this material?
What background
knowledge is necessary for
a student to successfully
meet these objectives?
How will you ensure
edges, vertices, and faces, as well as several other 3-D shapes. This lesson prepares
them for further study in geometry to compose real world objects using 3-D shapes and
to use positional vocabulary to describe shapes in the real world.
Formative: Class discussion, HOT questions, observing during turn and talks and partner
activity, and notes (checklist) during partner activity.
Summative: Written assessment in which students identify prisms in a mixed group of
shapes.
Students need to know what a face, edge, and vertex/vertices are. These lessons were
taught previously.

Teaching Methods
(What teaching method(s) will

Step-by-Step Plan
(What exactly do you plan to
do in teaching this lesson? Be
thorough. Act as if you needed
a substitute to carry out the

find a prism, click on it, and tell how they know it is a prism.

Say Now we are going to play a partner game so you can practice
saying the names of the prisms and describing them. Move into a
circle so you can see how to play. (wait) Say, In this game, you
are working together to move the shapes from one plate to the
other. The first friend will choose a shape for the other friend to
move. The other friend cannot move the shape until s/he tells how
s/he knows it is the right shape. (partner with a student to show
one move of the game) Say Now, the other friend chooses a shape
and the first friend tells which one it is and how they know. You
might need to help each other remember the names of the shapes!
Lets practice them. Show each shape of the game and have
students repeat the name. Partner with same student and show
another move. Say When you have moved all the shapes to the
other plate, you win! Now you can play again. Partner students
heterogeneously. Circulate with checklist and mark if students can
identify a prism.

finding all of the prisms on this page. (show page) Write your name

at the top, and circle all of the prisms that you can find. Pass out
leveled assessment.
Wrap Up: If time, draw rectangle on the board and say Today we
learned about prisms, can you tell me how a rectangle (point) is
different from a rectangular prism?
a student struggles with the content?
Student will be supported by other student during partner work, and will receive
remediation if indicated by assessment.
a student masters the content quickly?
Lesson is paced to engage all learners, even those who grasp the content quickly.
Students will have a more challenging assessment to more accurately assess their
understanding and guide instruction for future lessons.
If applicable, how does this lesson connect to the interests and cultural
backgrounds of your students?
3-D shapes are all around students in and from every culture. All cultures identify and
describe the physical world around them.
If applicable, how does this lesson connect to/reflect the local community?
