ARTS IMPACT LESSON PLAN Dance and Math Infused Lesson Lesson Three: Triangle, Quadrilateral, Pentagon, and Hexagon Dances Author: Debbie Gilbert Grade Level: Second Enduring Understanding Number and type of angles, and number and length of sides can describe and identify shapes. Lesson Description (Use for family communication and displaying student art) In this math and dance lesson, students discuss the properties of these geometric shapes: triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and hexagons. With stretchy fabric, students make gigantic shapes and create a Four Shapes Dance with a small group. They perform the dance for each other and respond by describing the number of angles and sides in each shape. Learning Targets and Assessment Criteria Target: Creates a dance using a sequence of geometric shapes. Criteria: Uses body shapes and a prop to represent a series of four shapes: triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon. Repeats the sequence three times. Target: Makes shapes with specific attributes. Criteria: Draws a triangle, a quadrilateral, a pentagon, and a hexagon. Vocabulary Materials Learning Standards Arts Infused: Shape Math: Angle Equal Polygon Hexagon Pentagon Quadrilateral Triangle Regular and Irregular Side Arts: Sequence Space bubble Museum Artworks or Performance Seattle, WA Pacific Northwest Ballet UW World Series of Dance Tacoma, WA Broadway Center for the Performing Arts Materials
