LESSON PLAN (2017-2018)

Topic: Recap of TG equipment, circles and polygons.

Student Name: Martin Hopkins, Daragh Keady, Gary Donnelly, Sean O’Donnell
Date: 6/12/2017
Duration of Lesson: 40 minutes

1. AIMS

The main aims of this lesson are to:

 Reinforce previous learning from groups 1, 2 and 3 about TG equipment, circles and
polygons.
 Ensure students can recognise and distinguish between various types of polygons; circles,
triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, septagon, octagon, nonagon, decagon.
 Individualise and construct 3D models of polygons and circles so that they may visualise
the development from 2D to 3D.

2. MAIN LEARNING OUTCOME & CORRESPONDING ASSESSMENT

Learning Outcomes (LOs) Assessment of LOs

At the end of this lesson the students will be (Note: each LO has an assessment. Include a variety
enabled to… of types.)
Distinguish between the different types of  Questioning
TG equipment (45 and 30/60degrees set  Use of specific equipment during the
squares, protractor, T-square, compass) recap game.

Differentiate between the various types of
polygons (circles, square, triangle,
pentagon, hexagon, septagon, octagon,
nonagon, and decagon).
Recognise the development of 2D shapes to
3D shapes.
 Construction of polygons during game and
3D model making.
 Naming of polygons during game and 3D
model making through questioning and
writing.
 The correct construction of a 3D polygonal
model.
