A. Preliminary Activities
1. Drill
Korek ka ba dyan?
Mechanics:
a. Group the pupils into 4’s.
b. Distribute envelopes with geometric figure to each group such as drawings of parallel
lines, intersecting lines, ray, line segment, perpendicular lines.
c. As the teacher flashes the words, the pupils will get from the envelope the geometric
figures and put it on the board assigned for the groups.
2. Review
“What am I” – kinds of angles
The teacher flashes a card with the following questions. Let it be answered by the
pupils.
a. I measure less than 90°.
b. I measure 110°
c. I measure 18°
d. I measure 90°
e. I measure more than 90° but less than 180°
3. Motivation
The teacher shows different cutouts and real objects.
What do you see class?
How many sides are there in the picture?
B. Developmental Activities
1. Presentation
Present these figures using a geoboard.
How many sides are there in the polygon shown in the geoboard?
What do you call a polygon with 5 sides? 6 sides? 7 sides? Etc?
Let the pupils show 5, 6, 7, etc. sided polygon using the geoboard and identify it.
2. Performing the Activities
Material : cut-outs of 5-12 sided polygons.
Mechanics :
a. Group the pupils into four.
b. She or he distributes cutouts placed in an envelope.
c. Let the pupils paste the cutouts intended for the different column as shown below.
Cutout Number of sides Name of polygon
5 sides
3. Processing the Activities
Call a leader to report for the group.
Ask. What are the different kinds of polygon?
How are they identified?
Present the chart of the different kinds of polygon
4. Reinforcing the Concept and Skill
Discuss the presentation under Explore and Discover on page ___, LM Math Grade 5.
Let the pupils do the activity under Get Moving on page ___, LM Grade 5. Check the pupil’s
work.
For more practice, let them answer Keep Moving on page _____, LM Grade 5.
5. Summarizing the Lesson
Ask: What are polygons?
How are they classified?
Polygons are closed plane figure that formed
by the line segments that meet only at their
endpoints. The line segments are the sides and the
endpoints where sides meet are the vertices.
Polygons are classified according to the
number of their sides and angles.
6. Applying the New and Other Situations
Name the figure below.
Let the pupils do items under Apply Your Skills on page ___, LM Math Grade 5.
C. Assessment
Match column A with column B.
A B
1. a polygon with 5 sides a. pentagon
2. a polygon with 10 sides b. octagon
3. a polygon with 8 sides c. nonagon
4. a polygon with 6 sides d. hexagon
5. a polygon with 9 sides e. decagon
D. Home Activity
Remediation
