the three to four-sided polygons with 75 % level of accuracy.
Values: Cooperation and accuracy

Subject Matter:
A. Topic
B. Reference

: Identifying Three to Four-Sided Polygons

: PELC 4, pp. 335-338
Conceptual Math and Beyond IV, pp. 225-233
C. Materials
: charts, flashcards, pictures of shapes, strips of paper,
manila paper,
Pentlepen, scissors, ruler, glue and old newspaper
D. Concepts
: A polygon is a closed figure. A three-sided polygon
is called triangle. A
Four-sided polygon is called quadrilateral.
Three-sided polygons are divided into three:
Isosceles Triangle that has two equal sides; Scalene
Triangle that has no equal sides and Equilateral Triangle
that has three equal sides.
Four-sided polygons are divided into five: Square
that has four equal sides and all angles are right angles;
Rectangle that has two equal sides and all angles are
right angles; Trapezoid that has one pair of parallel sides;
Rhombus that has four equal sides and two pairs of
parallel sides and Parallelogram that has two equal sides
and two pairs of parallel sides.

I am happy to know that you

really learned in our previous
discussion.

Lesson Proper
1. Motivation
Class, observe the chalkboard Sir, it is rectangle.
in front, what do you think its
shape?
Because, it is composed of four sides
Very good!
Why did you say that it is a with two equal sides.
rectangle?
Very good!

Yes, it is a polygon, because it is a

closed-figure.

Do you think that rectangle is

a polygon? Why?
Thats right!
2. Presentation
Class, I will show you two sets
of figures. Tell me what are the
similarities of all the figures in
one set and differences of the
figures between two sets.
Set A

All the figures in Set A have three sides

while all the figures in Set B have four
sides.
Set B

Thats right!
Based on your observation on
the figures, what do you think

our topic for today?

Exactly!

About three to four-sided polygons.

3. Discussion
Class, going back to the two Yes, sir!
sets of figures. Are all these
figures a polygon?
Why do you think it is a Because, it is a closed figure.
polygon?
Thats right. Now let us focus
on the first set of figures.
These polygons are called
triangles.

Isosceles
Equilateral

Scalene

A triangle is a three-sided closed figure

or polygon.

Based on these figures how

will you describe triangle?
Very good!
Now
children, a triangle is
divided into three kinds. The
Isosceles Triangle, Scalene
Triangle
and
Equilateral
Triangle. And all the sides
have corresponding measure.
You will describe each kind of
triangle by filling up the table.

4. Exercises/Fixing Skills
Class, look under your chair.
Whether it has a polygon cut
out.
Those
who
have
underneath his/her chair will
Yes, sir!
name
and
describe
the
polygon he/she got. Did you
get me, class?
Isosceles Triangle. It is threesided polygon that has two equal sides.
An Scalene Triangle. It is a

three-sided polygon that has no or 0

equal sides.

An Equilateral Triangle. It is a
three-sided polygon that has three
equal sides.

A square is a four-sided polygon

with four equal sides and all angles are
right angles.

A rectangle. It is a four-sided
polygon that has two equal sides and all
angles are right angles.
A trapezoid. It is a four-sided
polygon that has two equal sides and
one pair of parallel sides.
A rhombus. It is a four-sided
polygon that has four equal sides and
two pairs of parallel sides.
A Parallelogram. It is a foursided polygon that has two equal sides
and two pairs of parallel sides.
C. Generalization
Class, earlier we fill up the
table in order to describe the
kinds of polygons. Now I will
remove the strips and jumble
it down. You will get one strip Yes, sir!
and put it in the right column
or row in the table. Is the

So that, your listener will not be

confused of what you are describing.

Why
it
is
important
to
cooperate in a group activity?

So that the group activity will finished

early or ahead of time.

Thats right!
D. Application
Class, you will have a group
activity. I will group you into
four. Each group must choose
a leader who will serve as
reporter and a secretary who
will write the output.

Using the newspaper, each

group will cut two polygons
according to the direction
given. Then paste it in the

the name of the polygon and
indicate
the

name of
the
polygon.
There are
some
mistakes in
the
explanatio

The output
is slightly
creative.
The group
finished
the tasked
within the
