Notes
Starter (10 mins)

  • Check self assessment (PP65M.9.1-Slide 2)

Talk Time (Pairs organised by ability)
Revise naming 2D shapes asking learners to name shapes in partners. Recap the name of shapes, number of sides, polygons and quadrilaterals. Add actions i.e. quadrilateral- rev like on a quad bike, polygon- peck like a parrot in a straight line, rectangle, square, triangle, circle- draw shape in air, pentagon- write with a pencil, hexagon- putt a spell on somebody, heptagon- shout”Hep, hep hurray”, octagon- act like an octopus (PP65M.9.1-Slides 3-4).
Main (25 mins)
Review prior learning (PP65M.9.1-Slide 5). Watch Scene 08 (PP65M.9.1-Slide 6) and introduce the fact that we now need to describe the objects that we have found to Mission Control (PP65M.9.1-Slides 7-8).

Discuss the fact that the shapes are 3D (PP65M.9.1-Slide 9) and then look at a number of 3D shapes establishing which are polyhedrons. Introduce images and actions, repeating with names i.e. polhedron- peck like a parrot in a straight line, sphere- kick a football, cone- lick an ice cream, cube- roll dice, cylinder- eat smarties, cuboid- walk like a robot, pyramid- hands in point above head, prism- hold bars like in prison cell (PP65M.9.1-Slides 10-17).

Talk Time (Pairs)
Name 3D shapes. If finished, list everyday objects. (PP65M.9.1-Slides 18-19)

Review different types of pyramids and prisms adding actions for the different bases i.e draw the shape in the air, point to the floor for base then hands in point above head for pyramid. (PP65M.9.1-Slides 20-21)

If suitable, recap vertices, edges and faces briefly to support in extension activities. Add actions i.e. vertices- point, edge- jump, face- touch face. (PP65M.9.1-Slides 22-24)

Introduce the steps to success and activities for Group A, B, C, & D. Highlight the vocabulary sheets, any tricky questions, clues and explain any extra work/extension if they finish. (PP65M.9.1-Slides 25-29)
Groups (20 mins)
LA (Group A)
Name simple 3D shapes using a vocab. sheet (PC65M.8.1 Section A & PC65M.9.5). Use of actual 3D shapes to support.
Ext – Colour and total vertices (PC65M.9.2 Section B).
LMA (Group B)
Name 3D shapes using a vocab. sheet (PC65M.9.2 Section A & PC65M.9.6).
Ext – Colour and total vertices and mark edges (PC65M.9.3 Section B).
MA (Group C)
Name prisms and pyramids using a vocab. sheet (PC65M.9.3 & PC65M.9.7).
Ext – Name random shapes and describe. (PC65M.9.4).
HA (Group D)
Name random shapes using a vocab. sheet. (PC65M.9.4 Section A & PC65M.9.7).
Ext – Describe shapes (PC65M.9.4 Section B & C).
Plenary (5 mins)
Recap learning going through steps to success and actions. (PP65M.9.1-Slide 25)

  • Self assessment (PP65M.9.1-Slide 30)

Feedback Group
 LMA
  • Mark question to find the volume including multiples of ten (PC65M.8.4)
Assessment Group
 HA
  • Support in describing shapes
Marking Group
LA
  • Question to find an actual 3D shape and count vertices
Investigation Option
LMA
  • As a group learners draw pre-made shapes (SEN Teacher Shape Nets) from a bag and then colour vertices and mark edges. Agree and label (PC65M.9.8).
IT Option
Resources

VAK
Focus:
Visual
Visual
Use of animation, images to represent shapes and terms, shape images to help remembering shapes and terms.
Auditory
Repetition of terms with actions. Discussion in talk time.
Kinaesthetic
Add actions for shapes i.e. polhedron- peck like a parrot in a straight line, sphere- kick a football, cone- lick an ice cream, cube- roll dice, cylinder- eat smarties, cuboid- walk like a robot, pyramid- hands in point above head, prism- hold bars like in prison cell. And for bases i.e draw the shape in the air, point to the floor for base then hands in point above head for pyramid. And for descriptions i.e. vertices- point, edge- jump, face- touch face. Talk time for learners to have a go.
