“OBSERVE ME”
The teacher will present a figure in class and the students will observe them briefly.

Then after that, the teacher will fold the figure into half. And will ask the students to
share some ideas that they have been notice after folding the figure.

What is the figure?

What have you noticed after folding the figure?

3. ABSTRACTION

SYMMETRY - If it can be split into two mirror-image halves. 

- any line splitting a shape into two parts such that the two parts are
the same is called a line of symmetry.

The teacher will show an example of symmetry in class.

 4. GENERALIZATION

The teacher will ask the students to complete the sentences by filling up the
space in the sentence.

After the discussion I have learned that when a figure or object is folded in
half it is called ________________.

5. APPLICATION

do. Then each group will present in front of the class and discuss their answer.
