A Detailed Lesson Plan In

GEOMETRY
April 13,2022| Grade 9 | Q3W8-9

The learner demonstrates an understanding of key concepts of

parallelograms and triangle similarity.

The learner is able to is able to investigate, analyze, and solve

problems involving parallelograms and triangle similarity through
appropriate and accurate representation.

The learner applies the theorems to show that given triangles are
similar (M9GE-IIIi-1), proves the Pythagorean Theorem (M9GE-IIIi-2), and
solves problems that involve triangle similarity and right triangles. (M9GE-
IIIj-1)

At the end of the 120-minute session, 90% of the students should be

able to:

1. recall the lesson about the similarity of right triangle theorems;

2. understand the Pythagorean theorem through the Desmos; and
3. solve problems involving similarity of right triangles using Canva.

Kindly access desmos.geometry, and let’s
construct three right triangles.

You may start constructing.

(They will start constructing their
three right triangles.)

Are you finished? Next is to measure their (They will measure the angles and
