A Semi Detailed Lesson Plan in Math 2

I Objective

1. Identify shapes/figures that show symmetry in a line.

2. Differentiate symmetrical from not symmetrical figures.
3. Draw and complete the missing half of the figure.

II Subject Matter

Identifying Shapes /Figures that Show Symmetry in a Line

A. Reference : Power in Numbers 2, pages 187-188

B. Materials : cut-outs of shapes, pictures of objects
C. Strategy : cooperative learning
D. Values : Enthusiasm

III Procedure

A. Preparatory Activities
1. Drill
Teacher will show pictures of shapes.
2. Review
Present a chart with drawings of shapes.
Show cut-outs of objects. Let the pupils match the cut-outs to the shape drawn on the
chart.

Encircle the correct shape that matches the cut-outs.

Ask the pupils how many sides each shape has. Which shape has more sides?
 B. Developmental Activity
1. Motivation

Game: “Find your Partner”

Teacher will prepare cut-outs of figures that are cut into halves. Give each pupil half
of the figure. Tell them to stand and look for the other pair/half of the cut-out while
singing a round song to the tune of “ Hello, How do you do “.

As soon as they find the other half’s of their cut-outs, let the pupils sit beside
their partner. Let them put together the two parts to form the object. The first
pair to form will be the winner.

C. Presentation

Let the pupils examine their cut-outs closely.

Teacher will ask: Which pair is divided equally?
Those pupils with cut-outs equally divided will stand and show
their cut-outs to the class, then place them in the
pocket chart.
Teacher will ask: Is one part matches the missing part?

What can you say about the two parts?

Are the two parts equal?
Are these of the same shape and size?
What object did you formed?
All of these objects are symmetrical.

Teacher will discuss about symmetry/ figures that shows symmetry in line, symmetrical
figures.
 Let the pupils who are holding not equally divided cut outs rise. Then show their cut
outs to the class.

Teacher will ask: How about these figures?

Are they symmetrical or not?
Why?

Teacher will explain why the figures that they formed are not symmetrical?

D. Performing an activity.
Group Activities
Group the pupils into three. Let them do the following activities.

Group #1.
Observe these pictures. Do what is asked and answer the questions below.

a.

c.

1. Trace the broken lines.

2. Which pictures show symmetry? _________________
Why? ____________________
3. Which pictures do not show symmetry? ______________
Why? ___________________
Group #2.
Check the figures that are symmetrical. X if it is not.

Group #3.
Match column A to Column B.
A B
 Place all the finish activities on the board. Check and then explain.
Valuing:
How do you find doing the activities? Did you find it enjoyable?
Teacher explains the value of enthusiasm.

E. Generalization
What can you say about shapes?
Some shapes are symmetry/ symmetrical, some have no symmetry/ not symmetrical.
When can you say that the figure shows symmetry?
A figure or shape shows symmetry when they are exactly the same in size or shape
when cut or divided into two equal parts.

IV- Evaluation
A. Write YES if the object shows symmetry and NO if it is not.
