Content materials about moving shapes for Class III

I have designed a content based material for grade level three on the subject Mathematics. The topic I have chosen is “Moving Shapes” under chapter five Geometry. The reason behind choosing this topic is I found it suitable to teach with the integration of ICT in my classroom because 2-D shapes are those shapes that we cannot touch or feel but we can simply see it. Keeping that in mind I can teach through representation in pictures and video form. The main objective is to let students identify and describe the movement of 2-D shapes as slide, turn and flip. I have chosen Microsoft PowerPoint as a tool to design the content based materials because it is an easy program to use and a powerful tool for giving a presentation. It is also one of the ways to captivate audience through use of pictures, video and animations. 

How did I create the materials?

In my first slide, I have designed a black background and then, inserted different 2-D shapes with different colours. After that, I have used various animations like spin, basic swivel, float in and fly in to make my presentation presentable. In next slide, I typed the title “how can we move shape”. I inserted three different shapes with different colours and added animations like line motion, appear, spin and disappear. Then, inserted three textboxes and wrote the names of movement like sliding, flip, and turn. After that I arrange the shapes and textboxes together and accordingly. I made in such a way that first the shape will appear and then only text because it will build curiosity in children whilst provide opportunities for teachers to draw ideas when pictures pop out without any wording.

In third and fourth slides, it have sliding concept and its example in which for the concept slide, I have labelled shapes and for one shape I used the animation line motion to explain sliding. I have inserted a textbox which explain the concept of sliding and applied appear animation. For example slide also I have applied the same animation. In next slide I have turn concept and its example where by, I have downloaded the picture of clock to show the direction of turn. Here also, I have used animations like appear and wedge. After these two slides, it is about flipping, flip line and examples where by explain the concept using picture along with text. In flip line slide, I have given two examples using two different shapes. I have designed a quiz and it includes slides ten till twenty eight. I have used the hyperlink and I have also used the applause sound for the correct answer in the quiz to encourage and reinforce them and wrong buzzer for incorrect answer to give warning.

When should the materials be used?

The materials can be used in lesson development and in learning activity. The reason is, in lesson development, the information input is addressed and the materials will aids and suffice the information input where by the teacher can teach the meaning of the concept along with examples  from the slides. It can be also used in learning activity and specifically for the quiz part because the learning activity is in quiz form. The quiz is developed based upon the concept included from the previous slides that the students have already learnt. The main focus of conducting quiz is to assess the students learning.
