Reference Materials

The following resources were used in planning this lesson:

9 Years Basic Education Curriculum
Abuja Educational Resource Centre Scheme of work
NAPPS National Unified Scheme of Work
Online information from: Wikipedia – Pattern
Relevant Textbooks

Instructional Materials

The teacher will teach this lesson with the aid of:

Samples of bedsheets and curtains with patterns
Charts showing shapes and patterns
Drawing papers
Pencils, erasers, and rulers
Colouring materials (crayons or markers)

Rationale for the Lesson

Patterns from shapes help pupils to develop creativity, observation skills, and appreciation of designs in everyday life.

Prerequisite/Previous Knowledge

Pupils have seen and used bedsheets, curtains, and clothing with different designs and are familiar with basic shapes like circles, squares, and triangles.

Lesson Content

Designing Patterns from Basic Shapes

Patterns are repeated designs made from shapes. We see them on our clothes, bedsheets, curtains, and even on walls. These shapes are arranged in a way that makes them attractive.

The following are examples of patterns found on bedsheets and curtains:

Lines repeated in straight or wavy form
Circles arranged in rows
Squares and rectangles in order
Flowers made from shapes
Zigzag and triangular lines

How to Draw Patterns from Shapes

We can make our own designs by arranging shapes. A pattern is formed when shapes are repeated.

Steps in drawing simple patterns include:

Draw a simple shape like a circle or square
Repeat the same shape neatly in rows
Add another shape to make it more beautiful
Colour the shapes with bright colours

Teaching Methods

Discussion, Lecture, Explanation, Demonstration, Group Work, Visual Aids

Instructional Procedures

To deliver this lesson, the teacher will adopt the following steps:

Step 1: Introduction

Time: 5 mins
Teaching Skill: Set Induction

Learning Point: Pupils become interested in the lesson.

Step 2: Patterns on Bedsheets and Curtains

Time: 7 mins
Teaching Skill: Explanation
Teacher’s Activity: Teacher explains the meaning of patterns and describes how they appear on bedsheets and curtains.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils listen and identify patterns seen on materials.
Learning Point: Pupils understand what patterns are and where to find them.

Step 3: Examples of Patterns

Time: 7 mins
Teaching Skill: Demonstration
Teacher’s Activity: Teacher draws and displays examples of common patterns using shapes on the board.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils watch and mention other examples they know.
Learning Point: Pupils learn different types of patterns.

Step 4: How to Draw Patterns

Time: 10 mins
Teaching Skill: Demonstration and Guidance
Teacher’s Activity: Teacher demonstrates step-by-step how to draw patterns using basic shapes.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils practice drawing simple patterns on paper.
Learning Point: Pupils practice creating patterns on their own.

Step 5: Group Activity

Time: 5 mins
Teaching Skill: Group Work
Teacher’s Activity: Teacher divides pupils into groups and asks them to design a simple pattern together.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils work in groups to make their own pattern.
Learning Point: Pupils apply creativity and teamwork.

Step 6: Note Taking

Time: 2 mins
Teaching Skill: Writing
Teacher’s Activity: Teacher dictates or writes short notes on the board.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils copy the notes into their books.
Learning Point: Pupils have correct records for revision.

Step 7: Evaluation

Time: 2 mins
Teaching Skill: Questioning
Teacher’s Activity: Teacher asks pupils questions about patterns and checks their drawings.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils answer questions and show their drawings.
Learning Point: Pupils demonstrate understanding of the lesson.

Objective-aligned checks:

Identify patterns on designs found on bedsheets and curtains.
Draw simple patterns using basic shapes.

Step 8: Conclusion

Time: 2 mins
Teaching Skill: Instructional & Social Closure
Teacher’s Activity: Teacher summarizes the lesson and encourages pupils to observe patterns at home.
Pupils’ Activity: Pupils listen and respond positively.
Learning Point: Pupils are motivated to apply what they learned.

Home Task: Describe or illustrate one lesson example of Designing Patterns From Basic Shapes and include one safety or performance rule. Do not practise a risky activity without adult supervision.

Lesson Keywords

Pattern: A design made by repeating shapes
Shape: A form like a circle, square, or triangle
Design: An arrangement that makes things beautiful
Repeat: Doing something again and again
Decorate: To make something look nice

Lesson Evaluation

To evaluate the learning, the teacher asks pupils to:

Define a pattern.
Mention two places where patterns can be found.
List three examples of shapes used in patterns.
Draw a simple pattern using a circle and a square.
Colour the pattern neatly.

Differentiation

Fast learners create more complex patterns, while slower learners repeat simple shapes with teacher’s guidance. Peer support is encouraged.

Note for teachers using this lesson plan

Encourage pupils to observe patterns around them at home. Use real-life examples to make the lesson relatable. Ensure pupils practice drawing patterns correctly.
