please pick up the pieces of paper and trash.

You may now take your seats.

How are you this morning? We’re fine ma’am.
It’s good to hear that.

b. Drill

Okay class, we will have a game. This

game is called “Yes, No, Stand Up”.

I will ask some questions. And all you

have to do is to answer. If your answer is “yes”
stand up and if your answer is “no” just sit
down.
Yes ma’am.
Is it clear?
Let’s have a trial round. Students answer may vary.
Am I pretty? Students answer may vary.
Do you have a crush here in school? Students answer may vary.
Is your seatmate handsome/
beautiful?

Everybody sit down. Let’s start the Students will sit down.

Can you find Mr. T’s relatives? Yes, we can.
Now, let’s start finding Mr. T’s Students will search the different areas in the
relatives. classroom to find Mr. T’s relatives.

Those who already found Mr. T’s

relatives kindly post them in the board.

Oh Look! Mr. T is really happy seeing

his relatives. By the way, Mr. T told me to say
thank you to all of you. Let’ clap our hands for
our success.
So we did succeed because
everybody cooperated. Just like in every group
activities, we will succeed if we will have
cooperation. So that’s our secret weapon,
okay? Okay ma’am.
Now, what can you say about the They vary in sizes and in angles.
sizes and the angles of Mr. T’s relatives posted
on the board?
Then, it only means there are
different classifications of triangles according
to its sides and its angles.

B. DEVELOPMENT OF THE LESSON

This morning, we will discuss about
“Classification of Triangles.” So at the end of
the session you are expected to classify
triangles according to their sides and according
to their angles and apply classification of
triangles in real life problems.

1. Activity
Okay class, I will group you into 7
groups. Count 1-7.
You may now go to your groups.
 TEACHER’S ACTIVITY
Each group will be given an envelope
and inside the envelopes are the task and
materials you will work on.
Is the instruction clear?
Any questions regarding the
instruction?
So before you begin, what is our
secret weapon so that we can succeed in our
activity?
You’ve got your brains in gear today!
I will only give you 5 minutes to
finish the activity. You may now start.

board.

2. Analysis
Now, what did Groups I, II, and III They measure the sides of the triangle.

Marvellous!
So now, let us first classify triangles
according to its sides.
What can you say about the sides of The sides of the triangle have the same length.
the triangle that the first group made?
Triangles like this one are called
equilateral triangle. Based from the example, Equilateral triangles are triangles with equal
what is an equilateral triangle? sides.
Fantastic!
What can you say about this The two sides of the triangle have equal length.
triangle? (Referring to the triangle made by the
second group.)
Great!
Triangles like this are called isosceles Isosceles triangles are triangles with 2 equal
triangle. Based from the example, what is sides.
isosceles triangle?
Wonderful!
How about this triangle? (Referring to It has no equal sides.
the triangle made by the third group.)
Perfect!
Triangles like this are called scalene Scalene triangles are triangles with no equal
triangle. How will you define scalene triangle? sides.
Tremendous!
Okay, so we are done classifying
triangles according to its sides. Now, let’s move
on to classifying triangles according to its
angles.
What can you say about this The triangle has an obtuse angle.

Clever!
This triangle is an obtuse triangle. Obtuse triangles are triangles with an obtuse
So, what is an obtuse triangle? angle.
Excellent!
Is it possible that a triangle will have No ma’am because the sum of the measures of
two obtuse angles? the interior angles of a triangle is only 180
degrees.
You figured out that fast. Very Good!
What can you say about this The triangle has a right angle.

That’s right!
This triangle is an example of a right Right triangles are triangles with a right angle.

triangle?
Superb!
Is it possible that a triangle will have No ma’am because the sum of the measures of
two right angles? the interior angles of a triangle is only 180
degrees.
You got it right!
What can you say about the triangle The triangle has acute angles.
of group six?
Marvellous!
This is an example of an acute

triangle. So, what is an acute triangle?
Can triangle have 3 acute angles?
Excellent!
Let’s move to the last group, how can
you identify the triangle?
This triangle is an equiangular
triangle. How will you define an equiangular
triangle?
Clever!
Based on our examples, What are the
classifications of triangles according to their
sides?
Very Good!
How about the classification of
triangles according to their angles?
Are there any questions?
Do you understand the lesson?
3. Abstraction
