Geometry- Faces, Edges, and Vertices, (Newport News Public Schools, 2015) follows the 4E lesson plan model. The four components of this model include; engage and hook, explain and model, explore and apply, and evaluate. The lesson is designed to meet the Virginia Standards of Learning “2.16 the student will identify, describe, compare, and contrast plane and solid geometric figures (circle/sphere, square/cube, and rectangle/rectangular prism)” (Virginia Department of Education, 2010). The following is a comprehensive outline of the lesson.
Geometry- Faces, Edges, and Vertices (Newport News Public Schools, 2015).
Students will present their chosen solid shapes to the class and discuss the information they have recorded. The teacher will guide the discussion to include comparing and contrasting the attributes of each solid geometric figure. The teacher will evaluate the recording sheet. Success criteria include …show more content…

The aforementioned lesson plan integrates both STEM subjects as well as Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) practices. The subjects of math and engineering meld as students explore the attributes of solid geometric shapes. Students apply engineering principles to construct 3-D models of solid geometric shapes. The students employ mathematical language to describe, compare, and contrast these models. This lesson integrates NGSS practices in mathematics and engineering. “Mathematical and computational thinking in K–2 builds on prior experience and progresses to recognizing that mathematics can be used to describe the natural and designed world(s)” (Next Generation Science Standards, 2013). This lesson provides
