3. Show enthusiasm in performing any assigned task.
4. Appreciate the value of sportsmanship in any competition.

VALUES: Cooperation and Accuracy

II. SUBJECT MATTER

“ Perimeter of Polygons”
Reference: PELC A.3.3.1
Grade School Mathematics 5, pp. 224-225

Materials: Tape measure, cut outs of polygons using styro, chart, flashcards

III. PROCEDURES

Teacher’s Activity Pupil’s Activity

A. Preliminary Activities
1. Song:
Let us sing the song “ Learning Math” “LEARNING MATH”
Learning Math is really fun
New ideas every time
There’s a lot for everyone
Problem solving satisfied
We are glad, we are glad
For the problem makes us wise.

2. Drill:
Tell whether the angle is acute, right,
obtuse, reflex or straight.

 It is an acute angle.

 It is an obtuse angle.
  It is a straight angle.

 It is a right angle.

3. Review:
 What do we call a polygon  A polygon with three sides is a triangle.
with three sides?
Correct!
 How about a polygon with  A polygon with four sides is a square.
four sides?
Good !
Another  A rectangle is also a polygon with four
Right! sides.
 How many side does a  A pentagon has five sides.
pentagon has?
Very good!
 How about a polygon with  A polygon with six sides is a hexagon.
six sides?
That’s right!

A. Developmental Activities

1. Motivation:
 I have here a tape measure, now I
will measure the sides of this shape.
 What shape is this?
 If I measure and add all the sides of
this object, what do you think I am
looking for?
 Is it area, perimeter or volume?

2. Presentation:

Louisa has a squared box. She needs

to put an exact ribbonette around the
sides of the box. Each side measures
12.5 cm. How long is the ribbonette that
she needs?

Kindly read the story problem.

 Louisa has a squared box. She needs to put
an exact ribbonette around the sides of the
box. Each side measures 12.5 cm. How long is
the ribbonette that she needs?

 What is the shape of the box?  The shape of the box is square.
 Yes, the shape of the box is square. The
square has four equal sides.
 What is the measure of each side?  Each side measures 12.5cm.
 Now, we need to add the four sides. So
that we can get the ribbonette that we
need.

(s1) (s2) (s3) (s4)

12.5cmm + 12.5cm + 12.5cm+ 12.5cm = 50cm

 So, how long does the robbonette Louisa  She needs 50cm.
need?
 Yes, she needs 50cm. the way we add
the four sides of the square is what we
call PERIMETER.
 Now, what do we mean by the word  Perimeter is the sum of all sides of the
PERIMETER? polygon.
 Very good!
 The distance around of any polygon is
called perimeter. It is found by adding all
sides of the polygon. The general
formula for the perimeter is………

P = S1 + S2 +S3 +………….Sn

Here is another way of finding the perimeter

of polygon by using formulas.
