Instructional Materials

To deliver this lesson, the teacher will use the following materials:

• Chart showing basic shapes
• Colored construction paper
• Scissors
• Glue
• Drawing pencils
• Crayons or colored pencils
• Drawing paper

Rationale for the Lesson

Understanding patterns is crucial for developing problem-solving skills and creativity. This lesson lays a foundation for more complex design work and thankfulness of art in the habitat.

Prerequisite/Previous Knowledge

The teacher will begin by asking pupils to identify shapes they see in the classroom. The teacher will then show examples of patterns found in everyday objects, sparking curiosity about creating their own.

Lesson Content

Making Patterns With Shapes

We can create patterns and designs using basic shapes like squares, circles, and triangles. For example, we can use squares to make checkerboard patterns.

Identifying Basic Shapes

Basic shapes are essential geometric forms that serve as building blocks for more complex designs. They are:

1. Squares: They have four equal sides and four right angles.
2. Circles: they are round and have no corners.
3. Triangles: They have three sides and three angles.
4. Rectangles: They have four sides and four right angles, with opposite sides being equal.
5. Ovals: They are elongated circles.

Creating Patterns

Creating patterns involves arranging shapes in a repeating sequence to form a design.

We can create patterns using cut papers of different shapes. Arrange them in a repeating pattern on a drawing paper and use glue to secure them.

Designing Patterns

Designing patterns involves using shapes and colors to create visually appealing arrangements.

We can also design patterns by drawing basic shapes on paper. Use pencils to draw the shapes and then color them in.

Lesson Keywords

• Shapes – basic geometric forms like squares, circles, and triangles.
• Patterns – Arrangements of shapes in a repeating sequence.
• Designs – Visual arrangements created using shapes and colors.
• Cut-out – Shapes cut from paper or other materials.
• Drawing – Creating patterns by sketching shapes on paper.

Lesson evaluation

to evaluate the learning, the teacher asks pupils to:

1. What are some examples of basic shapes?
2. how do you create patterns using cut papers?
3. Why is it fun to make patterns and designs?
4. can you describe a pattern you have seen in your daily life?
5. What are some other ways to create patterns besides using shapes?

Assignment/Homework

1. Create a pattern at home using materials you find around the house.
2. Draw and color different shapes on a sheet of paper.
3. Find examples of patterns in your environment and describe them.

Differentiation

• For slower learners: Provide one-on-one assistance and simpler pattern examples.
• For advanced learners: encourage them to create more complex patterns and explore different design techniques.
• For visual/auditory/kinesthetic learners: Use visual aids, verbal instructions, and hands-on activities to cater to different learning styles.

note for Teachers

Encourage creativity and exploration. Provide ample materials and guidance to support pupils in creating their own unique patterns and designs. Observe pupils’ ability to identify basic shapes, their creativity in creating patterns, and their participation in class discussions.
