CONTENT OF THE LESSON  

LESSON ONE – INTRODUCTION

MEANING OF SHAPE CONSTRUCTION 

Shapes can be flat and 2-dimensional, like a rectangle or a triangle. However, shape construction is the making of different 3-dimensional shapes such as cylinder, cone, funnel, box, etc. using paper. Materials can be reshaped. There are different methods used in shape construction such as: folding and bending. The various materials used in shape construction will determine the type of method that will be used.

MATERIALS USED FOR SHAPE CONSTRUCTION 

Materials that could be used for construction are:

1. Paper

2. Wood

3. Metal.

 

Other materials in shape construction are cutting tools are scissors, cardboard, glue or gum, brush, plier, sellotape, clip and nails or pins.

LESSON TWO – CUTTING TOOLS USED IN SHAPE CONSTRUCTION 

Some of the cutting tools are:

1. Scissors

2. Plier

3. Chisel

4. Saw

5. Knife

6. Snips

SHAPE CONSTRUCTION METHODS 

There are different methods used in shape construction such as:

1. folding

2. bending.

 

Teacher’s remark – The various materials used in shape construction will determine the type of method that will be used. Demonstrate materials that be fold or bend. 

LESSON THREE – WEEKLY ASSESSMENTS
