  5. Comparing Shapes:
    • Activity: Compare the shapes you find at home.
    • Compare: Check how many flat faces, edges, and curved surfaces each object has.
    • Examples:
      • For a cube, count the 6 flat faces and the 12 edges.
      • For a cylinder, look at the 2 flat circular faces and the curved surface.
      • For a sphere, observe the smooth, curved surface without any edges.
  6. Study a Chart:
    • Activity: Look at a chart with drawings of different shapes.
    • Identify: Notice how many flat faces, edges, and curved surfaces each shape has.
    • Practice: Count and write down the numbers for each shape.

Presentation:

  • Step 1: Review the previous topic, which was about basic shapes (square, rectangle, and circle). Ask pupils to identify these shapes in objects around them. Understanding and Solving Problems on Area and Number Ordering Mathematics Primary 2 Third Term Lesson Notes Week 9
  • Step 2: Introduce the new topic. Explain the different shapes (cube, cuboid, and cylinder) and their characteristics. Show the chart on shapes and real-life objects.
  • Step 3: Allow pupils to mention objects in their homes that have the shapes of cube, cuboid, and cylinder. Discuss their findings as a class.
  • Teacher’s Activities:
    • Guide pupils in identifying shapes in their homes.
    • Facilitate group comparisons of flat-faced and curved-surface objects.
    • Help pupils study the chart on shapes and identify the number of flat faces, edges, and curved surfaces.
  • Learners’ Activities:
    • Mention objects in their homes that have the shapes of cube, cuboid, and cylinder.
    • Compare flat-faced objects and curved surfaces in groups.
    • Study the chart on shapes to identify the number of flat faces, edges, and curved surfaces.

Assessment:

  • Ask pupils to identify objects in their homes with the shapes of cube, cuboid, and cylinder.
  • Have pupils compare the number of flat faces, edges, and curved surfaces in different shapes.
  1. What is a cube?
    • A cube is a shape with 6 flat faces, 12 edges, and 8 corners. All of its faces are square.
  2. What objects at home have a cube shape?
    • Examples include a Rubik’s cube, dice, or a small gift box.
  3. What is a cuboid?
    • A cuboid has 6 flat faces, 12 edges, and 8 corners. Its faces are rectangles or squares.
  4. What objects at home have a cuboid shape?
    • Examples include a book, a cereal box, or a brick.
  5. What is a cylinder?
    • A cylinder has 2 flat circular faces and 1 curved surface around its middle.
  6. What objects at home have a cylinder shape?
    • Examples include a can of soda, a toilet paper roll, or a water bottle.
  7. What is a sphere?
    • A sphere is a perfectly round shape with a smooth, curved surface and no edges or corners.

sphere shape in your home?**

  • Look for perfectly round objects without any edges or corners, such as a ball, an orange, or a marble.
  1. What makes a cuboid different from a cube?
  • A cuboid can have different lengths, widths, and heights, while a cube has equal side lengths on all sides.
  1. How can you tell the difference between a square and a rectangle?
  • A square has all four sides of equal length, while a rectangle has opposite sides of equal length and different lengths for adjacent sides.
