These are the lesson plans for Unit 14 of 15 in the 4th Grade Math Curriculum: 127 lessons in teaching order, week by week, each with a lesson plan and an exit ticket.
Also for this unit: exit tickets, pre-check, unit review and test. See the whole year
Everything each lesson plan points to, with links. Sheet numbers count worksheets: a color pack prints each sheet again in black and white.
★ Taught in 4th grade in some states.
Twelve lesson plans, one for each lesson of a 4th grade unit on lines, angles and shapes, in teaching order, after an overview page that lays the unit out day by day: a pre-check, the twelve lessons, a review and the unit test. Each plan fits on one page. It gives the goal, what to get ready, the words to use, the lesson in five steps with the words to say, questions to ask, common mistakes and what to do about them, and the Animal Math worksheets, maker, tools and quizzes for the lesson.
Print the unit, or just the day's page, and teach from it. Each lesson takes about 45 minutes: a 5 minute warm up, 10 minutes of teaching, 10 minutes together, 15 minutes of practice and an exit ticket at the end. Every student needs a protractor and a ruler, and an index card makes a handy right angle checker all unit. Lessons 14.10 (the quadrilateral family) and 14.12 (solid figures) are taught in 4th grade in some states; skip them if yours teaches them in another grade. The exit tickets and the unit test are separate packs, made for these lessons, and the plans use other angles and shapes than they do.
Teaching at home? Use the warm up and the "Try it together" step as a short lesson, and the "Words to use" as the way to talk about it. Look for angles, parallel lines and symmetry around the house, fold paper shapes, and build solids with straws and clay or count the faces of boxes. The mistakes to watch for are the ones most children make.

Lesson plans for every lesson of a unit on lines, angles and shapes, from naming rays and measuring angles with a protractor to sorting shapes and finding lines of symmetry. Each one-page plan gives a lesson in five steps, common mistakes and the worksheets to use, after a unit overview.
