Title: Shapes and Patterns in Industrial Arts

Compliance Standard: Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M)

Subject: Industrial Arts

Summary: This engaging and interactive activity will introduce kindergarteners to shapes and patterns in the context of Industrial Arts, fostering their creativity and critical thinking skills.

Topic: Shapes and Patterns in Industrial Arts

Learning Outcomes:

• Know different shapes and patterns found in Industrial Arts
• Understand how shapes and patterns can be used in Industrial Arts projects
• Create their own artwork using shapes and patterns

Methodology:

This activity will be conducted in a hands-on and interactive manner, allowing students to explore shapes and patterns through various Industrial Arts projects. The activity will be divided into three main parts: introduction, exploration, and creation.

Resources/Materials Required:

• Construction paper (assorted colors)
• Scissors
• Glue sticks
• Markers or crayons
• Various craft materials (e.g., buttons, beads, yarn, etc.)
• Examples of Industrial Arts projects (e.g., paper sculptures, collages, etc.)

Instructions:

Part 1: Introduction (15 minutes)

1. Gather the students in a circle and show them examples of Industrial Arts projects that incorporate shapes and patterns.
2. Engage the students in a discussion about the different shapes and patterns they observe in the examples.
3. Introduce key vocabulary words such as square, circle, triangle, pattern, etc.

Part 2: Exploration (30 minutes)

1. Provide each student with a piece of construction paper and various craft materials.
2. Encourage the students to explore and experiment with the materials, creating their own shapes and patterns.
3. Walk around the classroom, offering guidance and support as needed.

Part 3: Creation (20 minutes)

1. Ask the students to choose their favorite shape or pattern they created during the exploration phase.
2. Using scissors, markers, and glue sticks, guide the students in transforming their chosen shape or pattern into a unique artwork.
3. Encourage the students to be creative and express themselves through their artwork.

Activities:

To engage the learners, the following activities will be carried out:

1. Discussion about shapes and patterns in Industrial Arts projects
2. Hands-on exploration of shapes and patterns using craft materials
3. Creation of unique artwork using chosen shapes or patterns

Assessment:

To assess the learners, the following methods will be used:

• Observation during the exploration and creation phases
• Individual discussions with students about their artwork and understanding of shapes and patterns

By the end of the activity, students should:

• Know: Different shapes and patterns found in Industrial Arts
• Understand: How shapes and patterns can be used in Industrial Arts projects
• Can do: Create their own artwork using shapes and patterns
