A Detailed Lesson Plan in Mathematics 4

I. Lesson Objective: At the end of the lesson, the pupils must be able to:
A . Describe triangles according to sides and angles.
B . Identify triangles according to sides and angles
C . Participate actively in the discussion and activities given

II. Subject Matter

A. Topic: Identifying and Describing Triangles
B. Reference: Mathematics 4 pages 190-191
C. Instructional Materials: PowerPoint presentation

III. Procedures:
Teacher’s Activity Pupils’ Activity
A. Preliminary Activities

1. Routinely Activities ( Pupils stand)

Let us pray first. In the name of the Father, of the In the name of the Father, of the Son,
Son, and the Holy Spirit…………Amen! and the Holy
Spirit……………….Amen!
Good morning class!
(Checking of attendance) Good morning ma’am!
Say present….. ( Pupils raise their hand and say
present as the teacher calls in their
name)
2. Drill
I have here a sample pictures of lines . As I show
these pictures tell me what kind of line they
present. Answers may be:
Parallel line, intersecting line or
perpendicular line

3. Review
Before we proceed to our new topic, let us recall
first our lesson last meeting.
What is a acute angle? A acute angle it measures more than
0° but less than 90°.
Correct!

What is a right angle? A right angle it measures exactly 90°.

Yes, your right!

What is obtuse angle? A obtuse angle it measures more than

 90° but less than 180°.
Yes, your right!

What is straight angle? A straight angle it measures exactly

180º.
Very good!

3. Motivation
I have here an illustration of Philippine flag.

What can you see in this flag? 3 stars and a sun, different colors
such as white, yellow, blue, red.

What plane figure or polygon can you see in this A triangle ma’am.
flag?

Yes, it has a plane figure of a triangle

For you, what is the symbol of our Philippine flag? It is a symbol of our love to our
country and citizenship.
That’s right!

Our Philippine flag is a symbol of our love to our

country, our citizenship as well as unity that bond
every Filipinos. That is why we must show respect
to our Philippine flag.

B. Developmental Activity
1. Activity
I will group your class into four. I have here a sheet
of papers wherein there’s an illustration of a big
triangle.

Divide it into small triangles. Figure out

on how many small triangles does it have.
2. Analysis

Let see your outputs.

How many small triangles does it have?

It has 8 small triangles ma’am.
Does each group has the same answer?
Yes ma’am!

Very good! You got it right! It has 8 small triangles.

From these small triangles, are the sides and

angles equal?
No ma’am!
How do you say so?
Ma’am because the forms of the
Yes class you have a point. triangles are different with each other.

3. Abstraction
To make it clear, triangles can be classified
according to their side and angles.

Let’s discuss first the triangles according to their

angles.

You already know that angles are the two rays at a

common end point.
1.
Right Triangle-
has right angle
which measures 90º.

2. Acute Triangle-
has three acute angles
each measures less than 90º.

3. Obtuse Triangle-
has an obtuse angle
which measures more
than 90º but less than 180º.
Now let us discuss the triangles according to their
sides.
Again, sides is a line segments and do not cross
each other.

1. Equilateral Triangle-
has three equal sides.

2. Isosceles Triangle-
has two equal sides.

3. Scalene Triangle-
has no equal sides.

Generalization

What are the triangles according to angles? The triangles according to angles are
right triangle, acute triangle and
obtuse triangle.
Very Good!

What are the triangles according to sides? The triangles according to sides are
equilateral triangle, isosceles triangle
Very Good! and scalene triangles.

4. Application

I will divide you into 4 groups. Each group

representative will pick a piece of paper in the box. (The pupils are doing their activity)
Each piece of paper has a kind of triangle written
on it. You describe that particular triangle you
chose.
IV. Assessment
