Suggested Learning Activities
Time Frame
45mins Everything around us has color, size, and shape. These are God’s
amazing creations that make each and every one of us unique.
As we go through our lesson, you will be able to differentiate things
with sizes and shapes.
Look at the pictures.
What do you see?
What shape do you see on the wall of the first picture?
What is the shape of the notebook?
How many sides do you see in the notebook?
How many sides are longer than the other side?
The sides longer than the other are called length and the shorter sides
are called width.
How many line segments are there in the Philippine money?
How many sides do you see in the Philippine money?
Aside from these, other objects also have length and width.
What other objects can you see in your house which have length and
width?

Look at the pictures with different shapes in the previous page.
The window has four sides. What do you call this shape?
The second is a picture of buttons with five sides.
What do you call a shape with five sides?
What do you call a shape with six sides? eight sides?
The shapes with different number of sides are called polygons.
Polygons are closed plane figures that formed by the line segments
that meet only at their endpoints.

Polygons are classified according to the number of their sides.

Look at the chart. In the first column are the names of the polygons. In
the second column are the figures showing the sides of the polygons
and on the third column is the number of sides in the given polygon.

Look at the different set of polygons below. Can you name the
polygons?

What can you say about the sides of the polygons?

IV. LEARNING PHASES Suggested Learning Activities

Set A Set B

Look at Set A.
1. What can you say about the measurement of the sides of
the square? Do they have the same measure? Are all the
sides equal?
2. What can you say about the measurement of the pentagon
in set A? Are they the same? Are all the sides equal to each
other?
3. How about the hexagon? Do they have the same measure?

Look at Set B.
1. What can you say about the measurement of the
quadrilateral? Are all the sides equal? What are their
measurements?
2. What are the measures of the sides of the pentagon in Set B? What
can you say about their measurement? Are all the sides equal?
3. How about the measurement of the sides of hexagon in Set
B? Are they equal?

The polygons in Set A have equal sides and their measurements on

each side are the same. These polygons are called regular
polygons. If the sides of the regular polygons are equal, their angles
are also equal.

The polygons shown in Set B do not have equal sides. The

measurements of the sides are not the same. These are called
irregular polygons. If the sides of the polygons are not equal, the
measurement of their angles will differ from each other too.

Analyze these examples.

What can you say about the number of sides of these two
polygons? Do they have the same number of sides?
Measure the sides of the first hexagon. Do they have the same
measure?
What property of polygon is this?
Measure the sides of the other polygon. What can you say about the
sides of the second hexagon?
What property of polygon does the second hexagon have?

Remember that regular polygons always have equal sides and

angles.

Look at the given figures. [Set A]

What kind of polygon do you see?

How will you describe blue square? Red square?
Are they similar in shape?
Let us measure the sides of the two squares.
Are they similar in size?

What can you say on the shapes of these hexagons?

Do they have the same shape?
What can you say about their sizes? Are they the same?

Observe this set of quadrilaterals. [Set B]

What do you observe?

Are they similar in shape?
Are they similar in size?

The figures in Set A have the same sizes and shapes. Disregarding of
their colors, they are equal in sizes and exactly the same in shape. This
pair of polygons is called congruent polygons.

Congruent polygons are pair polygons with the same sizes and shapes.

The polygons in Set B do not have equal sizes, though they have the
same shapes. Those pair of polygons that is not equal in size and shape
cannot be called congruent polygons.

Let us have another examples:

Look at this pair of polygons. How will you compare the size of the
pentagon to the size of the hexagon?
How about their shapes? Are they the same?
Those pair of polygons that is not the same in size and shape cannot
be called congruent polygons.

Take a look at the example.

What polygon is shown?
What can you say about the symbols used in the figures?
What do you think represent these symbols?

The symbols you see are used to represent congruent sides and angles.
The sides with the same markings tell that those sides are equal in
measure. And the angles with the same markings show equal measures.
The symbol used to show congruency is ≅ .

What will happen to the structure of the building if they will not use
congruency in their measurements?

Remember:

Polygons are closed plane figure that formed by the line segments
that meet only at their endpoints.

Polygons are classified according to the number of their sides.

Regular polygons are polygons with equal sides and angles.

Irregular polygons are polygons with different sides and angles.

Congruent polygons are pair polygons with the same sizes and
shapes.
