Directions: Fill in each part of the App Lesson with your own original ideas. Please look at the
sample provided on the class website. Provide 3 to 4 apps/steps for students to complete along
with a creative title, helpful description, and relevant SC teaching standards.

 There must be one app per step.

 Android apps can be use as long as all included apps are from the same platform.
 Lessons must cohesively link together 3 to 4 apps going from one focus/step of the lesson
to another.
 Lessons may include direct instruction provided the lecture contents are explained.
 Lessons may utilize web browser apps like Chrome or Safari to access website-based
tools. Link to the website in the write-up and the web browser app in the iTunes web link
area.
 The final step in lessons must have students create a learning artifact from a creation-
based app (presentation, video, etc.) or screenshot of progress from a skill-based app
that students would submit to the teacher for assessment.

Title: Geometry of two dimensional and three dimensional shapes

Relevant SC Standards:

 1.G.1 Distinguish between a two-dimensional shape’s defining (e.g., number of sides)

and non-defining attributes (e.g., color).
 1.G.2 Combine two-dimensional shapes (i.e., square, rectangle, triangle, hexagon,
rhombus, and trapezoid) or three-dimensional shapes (i.e., cube, rectangular prism, cone,
and cylinder) in more than one way to form a composite shape.
 1.G.3 Partition two-dimensional shapes (i.e., square, rectangle, circle) into two or four
equal parts.

Description: This app lesson will develop 1st grade math students’ with a lesson in
geometry about two and three dimensional objects.

Instructional Objective:

 Students will be able to draw all different kinds of two dimensional and three
dimensional shapes.
 Students will be able to combine two and three dimensional shapes to form
composite shapes.
Step 1 Content-Based or Skill-Based App: Students will use the Geometry Calculator to
get a visual representation of what the two dimensional and three dimensional shapes
that we are learning about look like.

Step 3 Content-Based or Skill-Based App: Students will use this geoboard app to draw
out different shapes on the screen. I can call out a shape and have my students create it
on the geoboard which will help me to see who is remembering the shapes and who is
not. They can also shade in shapes which will help them see that two dimensional
shapes can be broken down into other shapes.

Step 3 Skill-Based App: Students will wait for the teacher to draw on the board
different shapes that they will have to combine to form composite shapes. They will
then go on the Geometry pad app and combine each of the shapes in a drawling and
label them. Once completed they will screenshot their work and email it to the teacher
to be graded.
