C. Developmental Activities

1. Motivation
For today’s discussion, we have a special Yes, Sir.
visitor. Listen to this music and guess who is
our guest. Okay? It’s Diego! Sir.

(Plays audio)

Very Good!
Our today’s visitor is Diego. Like Dora,
Diego has a bag too that contains different
kinds of stuff. But upon travelling here,
Diego lost some of his things. Please help
Diego to find them. It may be under your
table.
Can you please look for them and tell me
what you have found, then put them on his
bag.

Table 1: A picture of a road sign.

 Table 2: A picture of a kite.

Very Good!

What did you notice on the pictures you had?

Table 3: A picture of a doghouse.
What do you think is our topic for today?

Great!

2. Presentation
Numerical prefixes are used to describe
things based on their numerical Table 4: A picture of piattos chip.
characteristic. For example:

(The students’ answers may vary.)

What is in this picture? Our topic is all about Polygon.

Bicycle – Bi means two, bicycle has two

wheels.

Another example, what is in this picture?

Triangle – Tri means three, triangle has

three angles.
A bicycle.
Last example, what is in this picture?

Octopus – Octo means eight, octopus is a

living thing with eight arms. A triangle.

When we are talking about Polygon –

Poly means many, and gon means angle, a
polygon is a close plane figure with many
angles and it’s made up of several line
segments that are joined together.
In a polygon, the line segments are called
sides. And when the two sides meet at a
common point it is called vertex. An octopus.

Can you follow?

 Again what is a polygon?

How about the side?

And how about the vertex?

I have here an incomplete figure. Draw or

connect the dots to form a polygon. Yes, Sir.
O
A polygon is a close plane figure with
many angles and it’s made up of several
H U
line segments that are joined together.

It is the line segments of a polygon.

E S
It is when two sides meet at one common
point it is called vertex.
What polygon have you drawn?

How many sides does it have?

Correct!

How about its vertices?

Excellent!

To name a polygon, we assigned

capital letters at each vertex.

What do you think is the name of the It is a pentagon.

figure/polygon?
The polygon has 5 sides.
Very Good! It is polygon HOUSE.

Now, let’s try to identify the given

polygon by supplying the appropriate It has 5 vertices.
prefix.

The name of the polygon is HOUSE.

_____gon _____gon

_____gon _____gon

_____gon _____gon
 How do we identify a polygon?

Very Good!

Before we move to our group activity. pentago octagon

I have a trivia for you! n
“Do you know that, there is a polygon with
one million sides, it is called megagon or
hexagon nonagon
1 000 000-gon. Even if drawn at the size of
the Earth, a regular megagon would be very
difficult to distinguish from a circle.”
heptago decagon
3. Enrichment n
*Group Activity:
Think of a name for the given polygons by To identify a polygon, we should count
assigning capital letters to their vertices. how many sides the figure has.

 How do you draw a polygon?

 How are polygons determined as

Pentagon, Hexagon, Heptagon, etc.?

 How do you name a polygon?

To draw a polygon we will mark the

Hexagon on the graphing paper. Label the
vertices with the CAPITAL LETTER of your
chosen word. We can name a polygon by assigning

IV. Evaluation vertices in consecutive order.
A. Answer by True or False

1. Polygon WATER is a possible name of a

pentagon.
2. Nonagon has 11 sides.

3. Heptagon has 8 vertices.

4. Hexa means six.

5. Polygons have at least 3 sides.

B. Write the word or phrase that correctly

completes each statement. True

1. A polygon with seven sides is a _________. False

2. A decagon is a polygon with ________ sides. False

True
3. If a polygon has ________, then it is a
hexagon. True

4. “Penta” means ________.

5. _________ letters are used at each vertex to

name a polygon. Heptagon

V. Assignment ten
Observe your surroundings at home. List down
the things that represent polygons including the
number of sides. Draw them in a short bond paper. six sides
