Introductory Message

For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the Mathematics Grade 7 Self-Learning Module on Subsets of

Line!

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in
developing this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the self-learning module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this self-
learning module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing
them to manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and
assist the learners as they do the tasks included in the self-learning module.
 For the learner:

Welcome to the Mathematics Grade 7 Self-Learning Module on Subsets of

Line!

This self-learning module was designed to provide you with fun and
meaningful opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and
time. You will be enabled to process the contents of the learning material while being
an active learner.

This self-learning module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

Expectations - This points to the set of knowledge and skills

that you will learn after completing the module.

Pretest - This measures your prior knowledge about the lesson

at hand.

Recap - This part of the module provides a review of concepts

and skills that you already know about a previous lesson.

Lesson - This section discusses the topic in the module.

Activities - This is a set of activities that you need to perform.

Wrap-Up - This section summarizes the concepts and

application of the lesson.

Valuing - This part integrates a desirable moral value in the

lesson.

Posttest - This measures how much you have learned from the
entire module.

LESSON

Line is an important concept in mathematics. In geometry, a line is a perfectly

straight one-dimensional figure extending infinitely in both directions. There are two
subsets of a line in geometry: segments and rays.

1. A line segment is a subset of a line that has two endpoints.

Illustration:

A B

It is written as ̅̅̅̅
𝐴𝐵.

It is read as line segment AB.

A segment is commonly used to represent the length, height, or width of a

certain object and the distance between two objects.

Example: The edge of a table

 2. Ray is a subset of a line that begins with an endpoint and extends endlessly
in one direction.
Illustration:

This can be read as ray AB which is denoted by ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗

𝐴𝐵.

Opposite rays are two collinear rays with the same endpoint .

Example:

L M N

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑀𝑁
𝑀𝐿 ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ are described as opposite rays if and only if they are subsets of
the same line and have a common endpoint.

Let us now illustrate a real world example of a ray. One of the most common
examples of a ray is a sun’s ray of light in space. The ray of light continues
indefinitely.

ACTIVITIES

2. How do you identify a line segment and a ray?

3. What is the difference between a line and a line segment?

 VALUING
REFLECTION: (Journal Writing)

An inspirational writer, Israelmore Ayivor said: “The way to success is not a

straight line segment. It's a dotted line with little packs of failure filling the potholes
of broken edges in between”. What does it mean? How do you relate the subsets of a
line to a real-life situation?
