    Strand: Mathematics Unit of Study: Grade: 4 Date:: Academic Critical Thinking

    Uploaded by

    api-306210108
    This 4th grade geometry lesson focuses on identifying congruent shapes. Students will cut out shapes and sort them as either congruent or not congruent on a worksheet, explaining their reasoning. The lesson begins with a minds-on activity reviewing geometric shapes and discussing congruency. Students will then be introduced to the learning goal of identifying congruent figures and their properties. For the body of the lesson, students will independently complete the sorting activity while the teacher circulates. The lesson concludes with a group reflection on identifying congruent shapes. Assessment will include observation, work samples, and student explanations. Modifications are provided for one student.

    Curriculum
    Expectations:

    Unit of Study:
    Geometry
    Background
    information:

    Chart paper, Shape cut


    outs for class
    discussion, work sheets
    and cut out sheets

    Unit launch & lesson 1

    Geometry and spatial


    sense: identify and
    compare different
    types of quadrilaterals

    Learning Expectations:
    Academic

    Critical Thinking

    (Big Idea) Students will understand Critical Thinking Prompts:


    how to identify whether two or more
    figures are congruent and explain
    Perform to specs
    why they know so.
    (Content/ideas) Students will know
    that congruent figures are the same
    size and shape.
    (Skills) Students will be able to
    identify and compare different types
    of quadrilaterals and identify if they
    are congruent.

    Students will apply their knowledge of


    congruency from whole group discussion
    to individual work identifying whether or
    not groups of figures are congruent. They
    will describe how they know this.

    Essential Questions:

    Are these shapes congruent?


    How do I know?
    How can I know?

    Assessment Strategies
    Observation

    Learning Log

    Presentation audio-visual presentation

    Anecdotal notes

    Self-assessment

    Oral presentation

    Work samples

    Interview/conference

    This is an introductory lesson designed to focus students in on some key terminology that will
    be necessary throughout the rest of the unit.

    Summative Assessment

    Knowledge of content?

    How do you know each student has Uses correct vocabulary in


    grasped the big idea?
    explaining their work.
    Students can accurately distinguish
    between congruent and noncongruent figures and provide an
    explanation for how they know this.
    This will be visible through their
    produced work sheets and their
    ability to apply the knowledge
    throughout the course of the unit.

    Mastery of skills?
    Can effectively explain how to
    identify whether or not two or more
    figures are congruent.

    Social Justice/Critical
    Consciousness

    Delivery & assessment


    modifications

    Some students will have a wider


    range of knowledge. Students can
    look to one another as sources of
    information.

    Anchor chart on congruent figures


    will be discussed and displayed for
    reference at the front of the room.
    Youssef will be provided with a
    shorter work sheet and an
    explanation of congruent figures will
    be provided at the top of his work
    sheet.

    We practice geometry in different


    ways because students are learning
    in different ways (visual, oral)

    Personal notes/Reminders/Homework/Other considerations:


    Set up large cut outs for group discussion, bring worksheets.
    LESSON

    Timing

    Materials

    Minds on:
    Review: brainstorm geometric shapes. 2D, 3D. congruent figures --> what does
    congruent mean?
    Ask students to identify geometric figures in the medieval construction site
    picture. Their responses will be recorded on chart paper. Discuss the shapes
    they have found, modeling mathematical language.

    10:25
    (15 /20
    minutes)

    I will describe rectangles as having 2 opposite sides that are equal. All 4 angles
    have right angles, as do squares. Equilateral triangles - all 3 sides are equal.
    Reword student responses using mathematical language.

    What shapes can you find in the classroom? Take 2 minutes to look around.
    Return to group. What did you see?

    Purpose/explaining the lesson:


    Congruent shapes:
    Today we will be investigating congruent shapes. Reminder: Congruent shapes
    have the same shape and size. Demonstrate on board with samples. Introduce
    anchor chart for congruent figures.

    5
    minutes

    Today we will be cutting out sets of shapes and deciding whether they are
    congruent or non-congruent figures. You will glue the shapes onto the side of
    the chart that says congruent or not congruent depending on what you
    decide. You will have a third column to explain how you know that it is congruent
    or not. You can work with an elbow buddy but we are remaining in our seats for
    this part of the lesson.

    Body:

    Students will be provided with handouts - one sheet with shapes to cut out, one
    sheet to sort, glue, and explain. During this time, I will be circulating the room.

    10:45

    Work sheets

    (45
    minutes)

    Cut outs
    Word
    seraches

    Students who finish work early will be instructed to grab a geometry word
    search.
    Consolidation:
    Return to whole group to recap congruent shapes. Take up work sheet. Discuss
    how students were able to decide if shapes were congruent or not. Math Talk.

    Reflection:
    What worked?

    What didnt?

    Changes for next time?

    Next steps:
