These are the lesson plans for Unit 5 of 13 in the Kindergarten Math Curriculum: 123 lessons in teaching order, week by week, each with a lesson plan and an exit ticket.
Also for this unit: this unit’s exit tickets and this unit’s 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 Kindergarten in some states.
Ten lesson plans, one for each lesson of a Kindergarten unit on flat and solid shapes, in teaching order, after an overview page that lays the unit out day by day: a pre-check, the ten 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, makers, tools and quiz for the lesson.
Print the unit, or just the day's page, and teach from it. Each lesson takes about 35 minutes: a 5 minute warm up, 10 minutes of teaching on the rug, 5 minutes together, 10 minutes of practice and an exit ticket you read aloud. The exit tickets and the unit test are separate packs, made for these lessons. Lesson 5.8 (the flat faces of solid shapes) is for the states that teach it in Kindergarten.
Teaching at home? Go on a shape hunt around the house with the "Words to use", and use the warm up and the "Try it together" step with blocks, balls, cans and paper shapes. The mistakes to watch for are the ones most children make.

Lesson plans for every lesson of a Kindergarten unit on flat and solid shapes, one page a lesson, with a unit overview that lays the unit out day by day. Each plan has the goal and its "I can" line, what to get ready, the words to use, a 35 minute lesson in five steps (warm up, teach with words to say, try it together, practice, an exit ticket read aloud), questions to ask, the mistakes children make and what to do about them, and ideas for children who need help or are ready for more. Each one ends with the Animal Math worksheets, worksheet makers, tools and quiz for that lesson. Lessons: circles and triangles, squares and rectangles, hexagons and turned shapes, flat shapes around us, closed shapes with straight sides, solid shapes, flat or solid, and position words (above, under, beside, in front of, behind, inside, outside, between), with the flat faces of solid shapes for the states that teach it.
