I. OBJECTIVES

During and after the lesson, the students are expected to:
1. measure the sides of a triangle using a ruler.
2. classify triangles according to sides.

II. SUBJECT MATTER

A. Topic: Classification of Triangles According to sides

B. References: Geometry by: Julieta G. Bernabe, pages 10-11
C. Materials: visual aids, ruler, activity sheets, pens, cut-out triangles
D. Skills: measuring, classifying, listening, critical thinking
E. Values to be integrated: teamwork, cooperation, participation
F. Concepts:
The classifications of triangles according to sides are:
1. Equilateral Triangle – A triangle in which all sides are of equal length.
2. Isosceles Triangle – A triangle in which two sides are of equal length.
3. Scalene Triangle – A triangle in which all sides are of different length.

So, your answers have

something to do with our lesson
for today.

In connection with the activity

that you’ve done, today, we are
going to discuss about
classification of triangles
according to sides. (The students will read the
objectives.)
For today’s lesson, we have the

1. Activity Here is the rubrics for grading

a. Pre-activity your output:
Cooperation – 5 points
Accuracy – 3 points
Presentation – 2 points
TOTAL – 10 POINTS

Each group will be given 3

triangles to be measured.

Directions: Measure the sides of

the triangle. Record the data in
the graphic organizer. Observe
the length of the sides of the
triangle.

 Be sure that all members of

the group will cooperate. visual aids,

Group leaders, are you ready? Yes Sir!

Okay, let’s start with Group 1, (Group leaders presenting

Let us now discuss your outputs.

For group 1 and 2, what can you Two sides have the same

the length of sides of the
triangles?

Bright answer! So, the triangles

c. Post-activity measured by group 1 and 2 are
classified as Isosceles triangle.

For group 3 and 4, what did you

observe about the measurement They have different measure.
2. Analysis of the sides of the triangle?

What else? No two sides have the same visual aids

measures.
Correct! So, the triangles
measured by group 3 and 4 are
classified as Scalene triangle.

How about in group 5 and 6? They have the same or equal

triangle?

Very well said! So, the triangles

measured by group 5 and 6 are
classified as Equilateral triangle.

Going back to the activity The given triangles are said to

Bright answer!

3. Abstraction How about in the activity The given triangles are said to

Very well said!

4. Application

Also, triangles can be used in

What else? designing things.

Very good class!

Class, what did you learn in We learned how to classify

today’s lesson? triangles according to sides.

Again, what are the The classifications of

equilateral.

Could you describe each

So, is there any question? None Sir!
Okay, let’s have a short quiz.
(Activity sheets will be
distributed)
4 minutes

IV. EVALUATION ( 8 minutes)

Direction: Tell whether each triangle is isosceles, scalene or equilateral. Then explain your answer.
(For example, write “because two sides are equal”)

1. I am a triangle whose sides measure 3 cm, 5 cm and 3 cm. What type of triangle am I?
2. I am a triangle whose sides measure 5 cm, 5 cm and 5 cm. What type of triangle am I?
3. I am a triangle whose sides measure 200 in, 300 in and 400 in.What type of triangle am I?
4. I am a triangle whose sides measure 12 in, 15 in and 15 in. What type of triangle am I?
5. I am a triangle whose two sides measure 14 cm and 17 cm. All of my sides are equal to 45 cm.
What type of triangle am I?

Expected Answers of the students:

1. Isosceles, because two sides are equal.

2. Equilateral, because three sides are equal.
3. Scalene, because none of its sides are equal.
4. Isosceles, because two sides are equal.
5. Isosceles, because two sides are equal.

V. ASSIGNMENT

are equal

Objectives

During and after the lesson, the

students are expected to:

3. measure the sides of a triangle

using a ruler.
4. classify triangles according to
sides.
