 COURSE OUTLINE

Rationale: This one-class session aims to enhance students'

understanding of geometric concepts by integrating literature into
the learning process. By making the study of circles engaging and
relatable through reading a children's book that features
geometric shapes, students will connect math to real-world
contexts. Various activities will further develop their
understanding of math concepts, as well as their observational
skills, creativity, and teamwork. By the end of the session,
students will achieve the specified course objectives.

Course Objectives:
 identify and describe the basic parts of a circle: center,
radius, diameter, and circumference
 create a model or illustration depicting circles used in a
specific scene from the book (Learning Objective 2).
 appreciate the use of geometric concepts encountered in a
children's book
Course Content:
Course Topic: Circles (Properties and Measurement)
Course Target Skills: Observation, Creativity, Collaboration,
Communication
Course Materials:
 Online Flipbook Story of “Corduroy” by Don Freeman
 Projector
 Art Materials (Pencil, ruler, compass, color pens,
bond paper and construction papers)
Course Timeline:
 This is a 1 (one) class reading session

Course Implementations:
Springboard Activity (Literature):
 The teacher will divide the students into five different
groups.
 The students are tasked to examine the book cover
of "Corduroy" by Don Freeman. They will identify and
list down any circles they see on the cover for 2
minutes.
 After the allotted time, the teacher will invite each
group, one by one, to share the circles they identified
on the cover.
 The teacher will acknowledge the various circles
students identified and further ask questions like:
 Do you think circles are an important part of
the book cover illustrations?
 How does circle objects
- The teacher will then let the students read passages
from the book projected in the screen.

Lesson Discussion: Following the initial exploration of circles

in the book, this discussion delves into the specific
properties of circles (Center, Radius, Diameter,
Circumference)
 Center: The center of a circle is the exact middle point,
the same distance away from all points on the edge.
Radius: The radius is a straight line segment that goes
from the center of the circle to any point on the edge.
Diameter: The diameter is a straight line that goes
through the center of the circle and touches two
opposite points on the edge. It's also equal to two times
the radius.
Circumference: The circumference is the total
distance around the edge of a circle.
Formula for Solving the Area of the Circumference:
c-circumference
π- 3.14
d- diameter
C= πd

Group/Individual Activity:
Group Activity: Creating Circle Models
Instructions:
 Each group will choose a specific scene from the
book that prominently features circles.
 Using the art materials, groups will create an
illustration of that scene, ensuring to depict objects
that are circle labeled with the center, radius,
diameter, and circumference of the circles used.
 Groups will also write a brief explanation of how
circles are used in their chosen scene and why they
are important to the illustration.
