SOL: 5.13 The student, using plane figures (square, rectangle, triangle,
parallelogram, rhombus, and trapezoid), will
a) develop definitions of these plane figures; and (Bloom's Level: Evaluate and Create)
Content Outline: All students should:
Understand that simple plane figures can be combined to make more
complicated figures and that complicated figures can be subdivided into simple
plane figures.
Rationale:
Objective of the lesson:
Day 1 Day 2

Today I will develop a definition of regular
polygons so that I can understand the
various quadrilateral shapes. Ill know Ive
got it when I have completed the flow
chart correctly.
Today I will investigate the varying
characteristics of regular polygons so that
I can identify and compare different
quadrilaterals. Ill know Ive got it when I
have correctly completed the polygons
worksheet.

Connection: Effective mathematicians are able to recognize four sided shapes are
quadrilaterals. As students complete the notesheet they will become familiar with the
characteristics of the shapes.
Instructional Strategies/Processes:

Day 1 Day 2

WHOLE GROUP: WHOLE GROUP:

9:55-10:15: Teacher will hand out quadrilateral flow
chart as an introductory note page. Students will
follow along and fill out definitions of quadrilateral
shapes as well as drawing them.
SMALL GROUP/CENTERS:
10:15-11:05: Students will be called to the teacher
table. Students will be given cut out shapes and
9:55-10:15: Teacher will place cards on different
desks that will review the concept of classifying
quadrilaterals. The teacher will explain the game
Scoot where students bring a piece of notebook
paper and rotate around each desk with a note
card. Students will be at the designated desk for
about 2 minutes before they must switch.
they must work together to classify them as a kite, SMALL GROUP/CENTERS:
trapezoid, parallelogram, rectangle, rhombus, and 10:15-11:05:
square. Once students have completed classifying
these shapes, students will glue shapes onto a
chart that will be hung in the classroom.
-Students not at the teacher table will be
completing desk work as well as rotating through
different centers focused on preparing for the SOL
testing.

Differentiation: Students are taught new material as a whole groups. Students then
break up into smaller groups, everyone meeting with the teacher in order to ensure the
student has more personalized instruction.
