Kindergarten Lesson Outline- Voicethread Project

1. We are going to teach a kindergarten math lesson on shapes. We will introduce the shapes to the students, and then show pictures of the shapes to them. Also, we will talk about the characteristics of each shape, as well as helpful hints to remember them. 2. Indiana Common Core Standards-Math K.G.1 Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to. K.G.2 Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size. K.G.3 Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-dimensional (“solid”). 3. We are going to use Voicethread to both show and explain the shapes to the students, as well as provide them with helpful hints to help them remember the shapes and their names. Also, we will use the “doodling” tool to help emphasize certain characteristics and how they differ from other shapes.
