CONTENT OF THE LESSON  

LESSON ONE – INTRODUCTION

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 by bending, folding, cutting or joining.

 

MATERIALS USED FOR SHAPE CONSTRUCTION 

Materials used for shape construction are as follows:

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.

 

SHAPES THAT CAN BE CONSTRUCTED WITH PAPER 

Examples of shapes that could be constructed with paper are as follows:

1. A box

2. A cuboid

3. A cylinder

4. A cone

5. A funnel

6. A pyramid

 

 

LESSON 2 – CUTTING TOOLS USED IN SHAPE CONSTRUCTION 

The cutting tools used in shape construction are as follows:

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

3. Cutting

4. Joining

 

The various materials used in shape construction will determine the type of method that will be used. 

 

 

LESSON 3 – SHAPES CONSTRUCTION WITH PAPER 

TEACHER ACTIVITY 

  • Teacher organizes pupils in groups or pairs depending on the size of the class.
  • Teacher guides and asks pupils in groups or pairs to construct any of the solid shapes using cardboard paper, sellotape and scissors – box, cylinder and pyramid.

 

 

PRESENTATION

1. To introduce the lesson, the teacher revises the previous lesson.

2. Teacher displays sample of shapes constructed with paper. For example – box and cylinder.

3. Teacher lets pupils identify each of the shape and state other shapes that can be constructed with paper.

Pupil’s Activities – Identify and name each of the shape displayed.

4. Teacher asks pupils in groups or pairs to describe the process of making each shape displayed.

Pupil’s Activities – Describe the process of constructing shapes with paper.

5. Teacher uses the pupils responses to introduction the lesson – shape construction with paper and discuss shape construction methods.

Pupil’s Activities – Pay attention to the lesson introduction to understand the concept of shape construction with paper and their methods.

6. Teacher helps and asks pupils to state the materials used for shape construction with paper.

Pupil’s Activities – State materials used for shape construction with paper.

7. Teacher displays materials used for cutting in shape construction.

Pupil’s Activities – Observe the cutting tools displayed and describe.

8. Teacher demonstrates and guides pupils in groups or pairs to construct shapes such as cone, cylinder, box, cuboid with paper.

Pupil’s Activities – Watch the demonstration of how to construct shapes and construct shapes using cardboard.

9. Teacher summarizes the lesson on the board.
