Learning Objectives
Students will be able to complete and name shapes.
Lesson
Introduction (5 minutes)
- Gather your students into a group and watch the Shapes Song.
- Review the different shapes by drawing them on the board and writing their names underneath each.
Explicit Instruction/Teacher Modeling (5 minutes)
- Show students your premade jigsaw pieces, and show them how they fit together to make complete shapes.
- Ask them questions to make sure that they understand how the shapes come together.
Guided Practice/Interactive Modeling (10 minutes)
- Have students practice putting the shapes together as a group.
- When they've had a chance to get familiar with the shapes, take all the pieces and mix them up. Pick out one half of a puzzle and have your students find the matching half.
- Do this a few times, asking students to name the shape after they complete it.
Independent Working Time (10 minutes)
- Pass out the bags of shapes to students.
- Have students put the shapes together individually.
- Provide assistance and encouragement where needed. Asking questions is a nice way of encouraging them to think as they work. Allow them to make mistakes and learn from them.

Differentiation
- Enrichment: Help advanced students strengthen their word recognition skills by writing the name of the shape on the shape and then cutting it into more than two pieces.
