Circle Lesson Plan

This lesson plan outlines a kindergarten lesson on shapes. The lesson will teach students to recognize circles through a craft activity and video. Students will learn to identify circles by drawing them in the air with their fingers and using cardboard circles to paint their own. The lesson aims to introduce circles as the first shape students are explicitly taught. Students' understanding will be assessed through their painted circles, drawings in the air, and participation.

Students’ prior knowledge and experience:


Students have had no previous lessons on shapes. They have experienced some shapes during their free play time (light table,
playdough table, and construction blocks), shapes have not been explicitly taught yet.

Teaching purpose: (What is the broad purpose of the lesson? What are you teaching – and why?)
Students are explicitly learning how to identify and recognise a circle through a craft activity, and incorporation of ICT. Students
have not explicitly been taught shapes, so they will start by learning the circle first.

Learning objectives: (What will students know and be able Assessment: (For each learning objective, state how you will
to do at the completion of the lesson – specific, concise and assess the degree to which the objective has been achieved.
attainable objectives. Use relevant taxonomies.) What will be the evidence of the learning? Consider formative
and, if appropriate, summative assessment strategies)
On completion of this lesson, students will be able
to:
 Recognise what a circle looks like  Students will have a summative assessment- their
painting of circles
 Draw a circle with their finger in the air
 Use a cardboard circle to create their own circles with
 Photos or videos of students drawing circles with their
fingers
pain
 Using a checklist to check for student
participation/circle recognition
Preparation and Resources:
(Detail what resources will be used and what other preparation of the learning environment will be required)

Resources:

 4 Cardboard rolls
 Red, yellow, blue and green paint
 Paint holder
 Art shirts
 A3 paper
 ICT device
 Paint Brush

Catering for diversity (detail any adjustments or considerations for educational/resource adjustments)
Students who are familiar with circles can try painting a circle using a paint brush.

Timing Learning experiences


Introduction: (How will you engage the learners and set the scene for the lesson?)
5-10 The bell will be rung, and student will transition to the mat. Give instructions that students need to sit facing the
mins whiteboard, and they will need to sit in the middle of the mat.
Introduce activity: “Today we are going to learn about a shape. The shape we are learning about is going to be a
circle. “Put your hand up if you know what a circle is or have seen a circle before” Ensure students do not yell out and
become less focused.
“We are going to listen to a video to show us what a circle looks like.” “I would like everyone to stand up quietly and
sing along to the video”
During the video, instruct student to use their fingers to draw a circle, follow the video instructions (big, small etc).
Once the video is finished. Instruct students to find a circle on the mat and sit down. Once they have sat down, ask
students to show their circles again with their fingers.
Go through some shapes and ask the students whether they think it’s a circle- ensuring they do not yell.
Introduce activity- Move to the other side of the mat opposite to white board and explicitly show the students what
they are doing for the activity.
Check for understanding- ask for repeating or thumbs.
Transition students from mat to play time. “Boys standing up and go and play”, “Girls standing up to go and play”

Sequence of learning experiences: (What learning experiences will help the students achieve the learning objectives?
What instructional strategies will be used?)

Two students at a time for this activity. When students come to the activity make sure they wear an art shirt.
Explicitly teach the students how to hold and dip in the cardboard circle and place it on their paper.
Whilst they start to do the activity- ask questions and use correct language to ensure they are learning.
“How many circles are you painting?” Point to a circle “Is this what a circle looks like?”

Lesson conclusion: (How will you summarise the learning and relate it to the lesson objectives?)
Once students have finished at the activity- ask reflective questions of the lesson- “Do you remember how to draw a
circle with your fingers? “What shape have you painting on your paper”? Record these answers on a checklist.

Lesson Evaluation:
(Reflect on the lesson. What worked? What did not work? What would you change? Why? Only complete this section if you
actually taught the lesson)
