At the end of the lesson, 80% of the pupils should be able to:
a. Find surface area of rectangular prisms.
b. Solve word problems involving measurement of surface area.
c. Observe patience and discipline in solving problem.

II- Subject Matter:

a. Topic : Surface Area
b. Materials : multiplication flashcards,
c. References: 21st Century Mathletes, pp. 272-273
d. Strategy : Interactive Teaching Strategy
e. Values : Patience, discipline and cooperation

III- Procedure:

1. Preliminary Activities
a. Prayer
b. Greetings
c. Classroom management
d. Checking of attendance
e. Review of past lesson
f. Drill
Group pupils into two groups.
Teacher will flash questions
Team to reach the finish line will be the winner.

g. Motivation
The teacher will show a box.

How many sides (or faces) does the box have?

What is the shape of the bottom and top faces of the box?
What is the shape of the shape of the side faces (left side, back, right side, front) of
the box?

2. Developmental Activities
a. Presentation
Gerald owns an antique shop. He is refinishing a rectangular jewelry box shown below.
The can of varnish he is using has enough liquid left in it to cover 30cm2. Is there enough
varnish left in the can to refinish the jewelry box?

3 cm

2 cm

To find whether there is enough varnish left, let’s draw the net of the box.

 One way to solve the surface area of a prism is to solve for the area of each
faces, and then add them all.

Area of left side: 2 cm x 1 cm = 2cm2 Area of right side: 2 cm x 1 cm = 2 cm2

Area of top: 3 cm x 2 cm = 6 cm2 Area of bottom: 3 cm x 2 cm =6cm2
Area of front: 3 cm x 1 cm = 3cm 2 Area of back: 3 cm x 1 cm = 3 cm2
Thus, surface of rectangular prism can be found as follows.

Area of left and right Area of top and Area of front and
Surface Area = +
sides + bottom back

S.A = 2 (2cm x 1 cm) + 2(3 cm x 2 cm) + 2 (3 cm x 1 cm)

S.A = 4 cm2 12 cm2 6 cm2

+ +
S.A = 22 cm2

The total surface area of the jewelry box is 22cm2. There is enough varnish left to
refinish it.

b. Generalization:

 Surface area is the sum of the areas of the base(s) and the lateral faces of a
space figure.
 Surface area of a prism
The lateral area of a prism is the product of the perimeter of the base and
height.
L.A = ph

C. Application:
 Group pupils into two groups. Let them answer each questions using the
illustration below.

1. What is the shape of the base? _______________________

2. What is the name of this solid figure? ___________________
3. What is the perimeter of the base? _____________________
4. What is the height of the prism? _______________________
5. Lateral area = _____________ base x _________________ of the prism.
6. What is the area of the base? ________________________
7. For any prism, Surface area = _________________ area + ______________.
8. For this prism, the surface area is _________________ m2.
IV-Evaluation:

Solve for the surface area.

V-Assignment:

Solve word problem. Draw an illustration if necessary.

1. Jason is wrapping a present. The box he is using is a rectangular prism with a
length of 18 inches, a width 10 inches and a height of 4 inches. Find how many
square inches of paper he needs to wrap the entire box.
