 Write the formula for area of a parallelogram
 Plan all activities before doing them

II. Learning contents:

 Skill: Finding the area of a parallelogram

 Reference: BELC PELC IV. A. 3.1
 Materials: flash cards, cartolina, pilot pens
 Value: orderliness

III. Learning experiences:

A. Preparatory activities

1. Drill mental computation - " naming the baby"

a. Teachers flashes multiplication flash cards

ex. 15 30 18 45 108 8 16

x10 x25 x3 x2 x4 x9 x3

150 750 54 90 432 72 48

2. Review: Find the are of the ff. rectangles/squares

a. Teacher prepares problem on finding the area of a rectangle and square written on a piece of paper,
rolled, and placedd in a fish bowl

3. Motivation:

a. Present the problem on the board.

~ Justin is making a mosaic for tiles that are one centimetre in are. Before he starts on his mosaic, Justin
draws a diagram of what he plans to do. How many tiles will he need for the parallelogram design he
made?
b. Ask the questions:

 What is Justin making?

 Was he right in planning first the things he wants to do? Why?
 If you were Justin, how would you find the number of tiles needed for the mosaic?

B. Developmental activities:

1. Presentation

A. Activity 1 - use of illustrations

~ Present the lesson thru the ff. activities;

 Provide the class with cartolina, have them copy the illustration given above.

2. Task:

a. What is the measurement of the base and the height of the parallelogram?

1. What is the base?

2. What is the height?

b. Cut one end otlf the parallelogram and slid it to the other end.
 A= 12 cm²

height

base

c. You should have a rectangle with the same base and height as the parallelogram.

base

height

d. Based on your illustration, what is the formula for the area of a parallelogram?

ans. - multiply the length of the base by the length of the height.

Ap = b x h

e. Can you solve now the problem of Justin? How? Show your solution

A= bxh

A= 4 cm x 3 cm

Justin needs 12 tiles

B. Activity 2
1. Provide each group a parallelogram

W P

2. Task: R T

a. Draw a diagonal line connecting P & R

ans: W P

R T

b. From your drawing, identify the height and the base.

ans: W I P

I h

_ _ _I

R b T

c. What is the formula for the area of parallelogram RTPW?

ans: Area of parallelogram region RTPW

= Area of ∆ RTP + Area ∆ PWR

= ½ bh + ½ bh

= ½ + ½ (bh)

= 1 bh or bh

2. Fixing skills:
Write the formula, then solve.

a. 9 cm I

I 6 cm

_ _ _I

b. 3.5 cm I

I 2 cm

c. I 7m

I 6.5 m

3. Generalization:

 How do you find the area of a parallelogram?

C. Application:

a. Find the area of each parallelogram region. (Group 1)

1. b = 4 cm ; h = 9 cm

2. b = 5.4 m ; h = 6 m

3. b = 3.5 dm ; h = 2.8 dm

b. Read, analyze and solve.

1. Paolo owns a piece of land which is a shape of a parallelogram. If the base of the land is 420m and it's
height is 280m that is the area of the land in hectares? (Group 2)

2. The floor library shaped like a parallelogram with the dimension of it's side shown. It will be covered
by tiles of the same shape as the gloor. If the sides of the tiles are 1m how many tiles will be needed?
 12m

8m
