Lesson Plan: Understanding Basic Shapes Class 6

How To Make Lesson Plans?

Are you a B.ed/ B.el.ed or D.el.ed student and tired surfing the whole internet for lesson plans?

Here is the solution.

Find an example below.

Lesson Plan On "Understanding Basic Shapes" For Class 6.

Start With Learning Outcomes

The learner will be able to:

• Build up the concept of plane shapes.

• Classify and name the triangles on the basis of sides and angles.

• Classify and name the quadrilaterals on the basis of sides, angles and diagonals.

• Recognize, find and write fractions of a discrete set of objects.

• Form quadrilaterals using set squares.

• Classify and name the polygons on the basis of number of sides and angles.

• Know about circles and its related terms.

Knowledge Objectives Should Follow It

The learner should know about:

• Difference between closed and open curves.

• Difference between sides and vertex.

• Recognize types of polygons

• Recognize regions, altitude and classification of triangle.

• Difference between interior and exterior of a quadrilateral.

• Recognize parts of circles

Practice Objectives Is Not To Forget Portion

After going through this topic, students will be able to practice:

• Reading, writing and recognizing basic shapes.

• Use of shapes in daily life.

• Classification of triangles according to sides and angles.

• Perform angle sum property of triangle.

• Identify parallelograms.

Thinking Objectives: Think Of It Just After Practice Objectives

• Comparing shapes.

Task Taken (A Brief About Everyday's Task)

Day 1 and 2

• Types of Curves using paper and pencil.

• Polygons using different objects from our surrounding.

• Difference between sides and vertex by showing pictures.

• Types of polygons.

Practice Work: Any worksheet or exercise should be given to students.

Introductory Activity

Students would be shown different objects like: paper, pencil, chapatti and square box.

They would be asked what makes them look different. 

Then students would be shown each object and their names would be recalled and then basic shapes: classification & properties would be discussed.


Art Integration (Needed As Per The New Education Policy)

Make different geometrical figures using earbud sticks.


Let Us Take The Challenge: Keeps Motivating Your Students

1. A polygon has prime number of sides. Its number of sides is equal to the sum of the least two consecutive primes. Find the number of diagonals of the polygon.

Day 3 & 4

• Regions of a triangle

• Altitude of a triangle

• Classification of triangles

• Angle sum property of a triangle

Practice Work: Worksheets or exercise work should be given.


Day 5 and 6

• Types of quadrilaterals

• Interior and exterior of a quadrilateral

• Properties of rhombus, square and trapezium

Interdisciplinary Approach

Create following quadrilaterals using set squares:

1) Square

2) Rectangle

3) Parallelogram

4) Rhombus

5) Trapezium

Write any 2 similar objects for each, you have seen in your surrounding.

Practice Work: Worksheets or exercise work should be given.


Curiosity Question

1. If all the diagonals of a regular hexagon are drawn, then what would be the number of points of intersection not containing its vertices?

Let us take the challenge

2. A farmer has a square farm represented by 4*4 square grid. One square box of the whole represents his house in the farm. The farmer wishes to divide the farm into five identical land pieces (same size and same shape) for his 5 sons. Can you help him to do so?


Day 7 and 8

• Parts of a circle

• Region of a circle

Material required:

• Chapatti, ring, CD’s etc

Classroom Transaction:

Students would be shown above stated material and would asked questions like which figure it represents and what other things comes to this category?

After discussing how a circle looks like students would be shown parts and regions of a circle using CD’s and chapatti.

Practice Work: Exercise work or worksheet should be given.
