III Procedure

Teacher’s activity Student activity

A. Prayer

Everyone, please stand.

Anyone who can lead the prayer. Are you ready classmate?
Ok (student) lead the prayer Let us pray.

B. Greetings

Good morning class. Good morning sir

Okay, you may now take your sit.

C. Attendance

(the teacher will call the secretary to

report
the absent for the day)
, is there any absent today? No one is absent sir.
Okay, thank you! How are you today
class? Were very excited sir.

I’m glad to hear that.

(teacher will show a figure using the
flashcards)

D. Preparatory Activity

1. Mental exercise
Children, I have here some flashcards. I
want
you to tell me what you can see in the
flashcard.

(student will answer the question of the

teacher)
 What is the shape that
you can see in this Sir it’s a triangle
flashcard?

How many triangles Sir, there are 2 triangles

are these on the
flashcard?

How about in this

figure? How many 5 triangles
different triangles can
you see?

How about in this 13 triangles

figure?

Very good class! Let’s give them an

excellent
clap!

III Review

Before we proceed to our new lesson,

let’s have a review. Who can still
remember our past lesson? (pupils will raise their hands)

Yes, student A. Sir our past lesson was about finding

the area of parallelogram.

What is the formula to find the area of The formula to find the area of
parallelogram? parallelogram is A=bxh

Very good! Student A.

Let us try to answer this.
 24 cm2
4 cm

6 cm

21 m 2
3m

7m

Class, don’t forget the unit.

What is the unit that we use when we find
the Sir, the unit that we use to find the
area? area is square unit.

It’s seems that you learned from our last

topic, so now let’s proceed to our new
lesson.

V Motivation

Class, look around. What can you It looks like fiesta

observe in
our classroom?
Sir because there’s a lot of
Why did you say so? banderitas

sir , when I saw banderitas I feel the

When you saw banderitas, what comes celebration of fiesta
into
your mind?

Exactly!
Let’s assume that next week is the fiesta
of
our patron saint.

Who is our barangay patron saint? Sir, Saint francis Xavier .

But when do we celebrate our feast day sir, we celebrate our barangay
here fiesta every 30th day of November
in San Francisco ?

Okay, Very Good! Give yourselves a very

(students will give Kris Aquino clap)
Kris Aquino clap!

What is the common shape of Sir , its triangle

banderitas?

We shall explore more about that shape.

E. Developmental activities

VI Presentation

Okay, very good! Since we’ve done to

finding the area of parallelogram now, Finding for today is area of triangle.
what do you think is our finding for
today?

Class, let sing a song

(what is the finding, finding for today? (What is the finding, finding for today?
What is the finding, finding for today) FINDING THE AREA OF TRIANGLE)
(The teacher and the pupils will sing
a song to open the magic cards.)
Our topic for today is finding the area
of Triangle.

Thank you children, I think you are all

good in singing.
So, in preparation for our fiesta I’m
going to make a banderitas. And
these are the materials that I’m going
to use.
(coloured paper and scissor)

(teacher will present the problem)

I have here a rectangular and

parallelogram coloured paper it has a
length of 10 cm and a width of 6 cm. I
want to make 2 pieces out of these
papers with triangular shape. We will
find out the area of these two pieces.
(teacher will show her cut outs)

What is the shape of these paper Rectangle and parallelogram

before?

Since I cut it diagonally. What shape was Sir, the shape now is triangle.
formed?

Very good! So now, this is the half part of (pupils will raise their hand)
the paper.

When we solve the area of rectangle.

What Sir, the formula in finding the area of
is the formula that we use? rectangle is A=Lxw

In parallelogram, what is the formula that sir , the formula in finding the area of
we parallelogram is A= bxh
use?

But, in the problem I want to know the

area of these triangular shape. (if the student’s answer is correct, she/
he will explain)
What do you think is the formula that we A=lxw/2 or A=bxh/2
need Triangle
to use, since we cut it and it divided by
two?

Excellent!

Let’s try it in our problem.

(pupils will solve on the board)
Who want to solve on the board?
(the teacher will call pupil to answer)

Okay, Very good! Give her/him an

Excellent clap.

Class, but this is the formula of triangle

(the pupils will response)

VII Fixing skills

Okay class, it seems that you really know

how to derive the formula in finding the
area
of triangle. I want you to work with pairs.
Kindly pick a piece of paper under your
desk
and you’re going to find your partners
according to the colour that you get.
I will play the song MATHDALI. Before
the
song end I want that all of you are with
your
partners.
(teacher will present a given figure)

The area of these figure is 15 cm2

10cm

3 cm

And the area of this figure is 21m2

7m
VIII. Application

(through station game)

Group Activity- Punta ka dito bes!
Take them as a group to have a
station activity outside of the room.
They will go in every station to
accomplish their task.
Before the pupils go outside. Teacher
will give an envelope in every group.
It contains the materials that they can
use in every station.
Station 1- the figure by group is given.
Station 2- they use ruler to measure
the figure that they get.
Station 3- they are going to write their
work in the clean paper and solve it.
Station 4- they make a yell
Station 5- (in the classroom) they will
present their work.

Very good class, Give yourselves a good

job
clap!

IX. Generalization
Class, based on our discussion and
on the activity that we had, what is the
formula in finding the area of triangle?
How did we get the formula for finding
the area of triangle?

Okay very good!

X. Evaluation

Find the area of the given figure. Find the area of

the given figure. Show your solution.
