What objects have

the same size and shape?
. Presentation
Present these figures
How many sides are there in the polygons
shown ?

What do you call a

polygon with 5 sides?
Are they the same?
How do they differ?
Why?
 
Performing the Activities
Material : cut-outs of 5-12 sided polygons.
Mechanics :
a. Group the pupils into four.
b. She or he distributes cutouts placed in an envelope.
c. Let the pupils paste the cutouts intended for the different column as shown below.

polygon?
 Summarizing the Lesson
Ask: What are polygons?
How are they classified?
Differentiate regular from irregular polygons

 Polygons are closed plane figure that formed by

the line segments that meet only at their
endpoints.
 Polygons are classified according to the
number of their sides and angles.
 Polygons may either be regular or irregular.
Regular polygons have all sides congruent.
Assessment
Name each polygon by the the number of its sides.
Tell whether it is regular or not regular
