Case Study : Common Core State Values

1. Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes, such as a given number of angles or a given number of equal faces.1 Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes.
3. Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, thirds, half of, a third of, etc., and describe the whole as two halves, three thirds,

The children will review the elements of art, specifically focusing on shape. They will be encouraged to identify the various shapes in Paul Klee Conqueror. Also the children will be introduced to my own original art that represents the element of shape. Together we will review the various shapes that are observed and have a discussion. For instance, we will discuss Klee’s use geometric and dramatic shapes. Then the children will be asked to make their own creation inspired by Paul Klee Conqueror. As they engage in the activity we will discuss the shapes they observe in their artwork.

I really want to teach second grade, so I am going to use that as my grade level focus for this portion. Second graders are typically a high level zero or a low level one. This doesn’t mean all of the students are going to fit into this pattern, this is just a starting point for planning and such. It will be fairly easy to tell if my students are at these levels by the way they discuss the shapes when they come up in discussions. At a level zero, the students will just be talking about the shapes based on the connections they can make with objects in their lives. If the students make comments about how something is a circle because it looks like their basketball at home, that shows me they are a level zero because they are connecting the question

Grade 1 – The resource selected to effectively support the recognition and classification of 2D and 3D shapes is a maths game ‘Kangaroo Hop’ accessed from Math Playground (URL http://www.mathplayground.com/ASB_Kangaroo_Hop.html). The game can have up to 4 players and the aim is to be the first to reach the end. To win, a player must correctly identify the shape that comes up at the bottom of the screen and ‘hop’ onto it. For example, if the word sphere comes up, the student must correctly identify the sphere and hop onto it. The game utilizes both 2D and 3D shapes and also includes some shapes that children may not be aware of such as parallelograms and pentagons. If the student chooses a wrong answer, they fall into the water and are given

I will teach the children the importance of colors and shapes. I will tell and show the children the flannel board that I made. Then I will ask the children to help me identify the shapes and colors. Everyone in the classroom will have a turn to come up and help me identify the shapes and colors.

“Students will evaluate their own results or solutions to problems, as well as those of other children, by considering how well a product or design met the challenge to solve a problem. When possible, students should use measurements and include constraints and other criteria in their evaluations. They should modify designs based on the results of evaluations.” – NSTA E.1.4.a.

Yet, it is important for teachers to provide his or her students with useful and effective feedback. Feedback that he or she can use to help him or her understand his or her strengths and weaknesses, especially since at this stage, especially since the end goal is to help the students’ transition from the proficient performance category to advanced (“Using Student Achievement Data to Support Instructional Decision Making,” n.d.). Therefore, if I were the teacher, I would design a rubric to accompany the “Parts of the Plant Diagram” worksheet. The rubric would contain the following criteria: (1) All four parts of the plant labeled=Advanced (4 Points), (2) Three parts of the plant labeled=Proficient (3 Points), (3) Two parts of the plant labeled=Below proficient (2 points), and (4) One part of the plant labeled=Way below proficient (1

Imagine you are sitting with your child reading a book about shapes. You can’t fathom why this is your only option. It seems like all children’s books are about either shapes or colors. You don’t even know if your child is learning anything from this book. This book, the one you are reading right now, will help your child a lot later in life. The book “Terry and His Polygon Friends” was written for parents and teachers to aid elementary students in learning their shapes, considering the fact that children with parents that are more involved in their learning are more prosperous when they get older.

a.This activity gives students a chance to explore what a box looks like when it is in ‘net’ form. The activity encourages students to make their own net of a box and then construct it. This could be the introduction to what nets are and how they can be represented when they make a 3D shape. This website also has many other activities for students to do!

According to the learning progressions report, coming into third grade, students know how to analyze, compare, and classify two-dimensional shapes by their properties. When students do this, they relate and combine these classifications that they have made (The Common Core Standards Writing Team, p. 13). Because the students have built a firm foundation of several shape categories, these categories can be the “raw material” for thinking about the relationships between classes. Students have learned that they can form larger, superordinate, categories, such as the class of all shapes with four sides, or quadrilaterals, and recognize that it includes other categories, such as squares, rectangles, rhombuses,

Shapes hold importance in illustrating the meaning of art. The shape of the three-dimensional object, for example, illustrates a rectangle, making it look like the objects sitting on it exist higher up than the rest of the artwork. The tree looks like a thick line of bark with a thin line of bark branching off of it, which gives it the appearance of holding up the clock. The clocks exist in the shape of

When utilizing art in the classroom, students can express their creativity. In classrooms with conventional lessons, children fill out notes and worksheets, which creates little room for individual expression. Most worksheets make the students write down one specific answer to obtain full credit. Contradictory to the conventional homework

This task consists of 6 different shapes, and one at a time one of these shapes appears in the middle and you must choose which shape it

To learn through hands on learning using a collection of objects is a powerful pedagogical experience. Physical objects have a remarkable capacity to motivate and to inspire. They arouse the urge to understand. The pupils’ interests will stir, their curiosity and creativity will be stimulated and their research skills will be enhanced.

which classified into nine classes, with eleven shapes in each. Shapes in the same class are in different variant form, including occluded, noised, rotated, etc. Other databases including MPEG-7 Shape Dataset [5], Articulated Dataset, Swedish Leaf Dataset and Brown Dataset are used to have further experiments. Similar to [13], Precision and Recall is used for benchmark for the reason of fair comparisons.
