III. Procedure:
Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
1. Preliminary Activity
a. Prayer:
Gina, please lead the prayer. May I request everybody to please stand up
b. Classroom Management: for the prayer?
Before taking your seats, see to it that
your chairs are properly aligned and
pickup those pieces of paper under
them.
Good morning ma’am Ai! We are very fine
c. Greetings:
ma'am! Thank you!
Good morning everybody! How are you
today? Everybody is present ma'am except Emma.
d. Checking of Attendance:
Andrew is anybody absent?
e. Agreement:
Before we start our class properly, let’s If someone is talking in front, we must listen
have an agreement first. attentively.
What will you do if someone is talking
here in front, Andrew? We will raise a hand if we want to answer,
Yes, Very Good! ma'am.
What if you want to answer, Martha? Listening ears
Very good! Looking eyes
What are our classroom rules? Quiet voices
Helping hands
Check body temperature
Wash hands with soap and water
For the new normal what are the rules? Wear facemask
Watch your distance

2. Developmental Activity: We have discussed about right triangles.

Well done class!
We will have a game of “Flip Cards”
Mechanics:
Cards will be shown on the board, with
six trigonometric ratios. Students will answer
the correct function of the ratio. Students
will be chosen in random using an
application called Spin the Wheel.

3. Motivation:

There people of different races.

There are Muslims, Catholics, Subanen, and

people in the picture? We stand and look at the flag.
What do you think are they doing? At the flag pole.
When having our flag ceremony, what do we
do? It is a sign of respect to our country.
Where is the flag located?
Why do you think that we need to look up at the
flag while having the ceremony?
That’s right.

Let us begin this session with an activity.

“Pair and Share: Look Up, Look Down”
Students will be requested to pair up with a
seatmate.
Step 1. Student A will stand while student B is
sitting. The pair will look in each other’s eyes. A is looking down at B.
Step 2. The same procedure will be done but
with the other way around. B is looking up at A.
From step 1 of the activity, what did students A B is looking down at A.
do while looking at student B’s eyes?
What did student B do while looking at student A is looking up at B.
A’s eyes?
On the second step, what did students B do
while looking at student A’s eyes?
What did student A do while looking at student
B’s eyes?

4. Presentation of the Lesson:

“At this moment, the students will be asked to ELEVATION and DEPRESSION
face the wall where letters and are scrambled.
They will unscramble it and form two words”.
 What are the magic words that you can from the
letters that you see on the wall?

Amazing!
And that is our lesson for today. Angle of elevation is an angle formed when
we look up.
5. Discussion: Angle of depression is an angle form when
we look down.
From what we did on our activity, what do you Yes.
think is Angle of elevation?

What about angle of depression?

Can you see the difference between the two?

To explain further, draw a horizontal line from

the eye of the observer and draw another line
that connects the eye of the observer to the
object being observed.

The angle of elevation

is the angle from the horizontal to the line of
sight of the observer to the object above.

Line of Sight is an imaginary line that connects

the eye of an observer to the object being
observed.

The Angle of Depression

is the angle from the horizontal to the line of
 sight of the observer to the object below.

Imaginary horizontal line

It is an imaginary line that is drawn from the
observer horizontally.

∠𝑨 is an Angle of Elevation
Segment 𝑨𝑹 is the line of sight
Segment AM is the imaginary horizontal
line.

In the figure above what is ∠𝑨?

What about segment AR?
What is segment AM?

∠𝑬 is an Angle of Depression
𝑬𝑻 is the line of sight
Segment EA is the imaginary horizontal
line.

In the figure above what is ∠E?

What about segment ET?
What is segment EA? Yes.
None so far ma'am.
Observer
The person who pays close attention to
something.

Object
It is something viewed from a distance.

Are we clear class?

Do you have any questions?

Since you don’t have questions, lets proceed.

6. Applications:
To test if you understand our topic, let’s
have a game entitled “The kite festival”.
Who wants to read the mechanics? Yes?
 Directions:
Put a star on AOE column if the angle formed
from the line of sight of the observer is angle of
elevation and a heart AOD if it is an angle of
depression.

Well done everybody, you did listen to the discussion.

7. Generalization:

To sum up what we have tackled for today,

let us answer this puzzle.
WORD PUZZLE
Directions: Complete the word puzzle.
Write your answer on a separate sheet.

1. The angle of Depression

2. Object
3. The Angle of elevation
4. Line of Sight
5. Observer

The angle of elevation is the angle formed

 DOWN when an observer is looking at the object
1. It is the angle from the horizontal to the above while the Angle of Depression is the
line of sight of the observer to the object angle formed when an observer is looking at
below. the object below.
2. Something viewed from a distance.
5. A person who pays close attention to
something.
ACROSS
3. It is the angle from the horizontal to the line
of sight of the observer to the object above.
4. It is an imaginary line that connects the
object being observed

What is the difference between angle of

elevation and angle of depression?

Magnificent!
Now, to test your understanding

IV. Evaluation:
To test your understanding on our topic for today, get one-fourth sheet of paper and answer
the following.

Directions: Shade the letter of the correct answer.

V. Assignment:
For your home delight, bring out your notes and copy what is on the board.
Directions: Write the marked angle in the elevation column if the angle formed is an angle of
elevation and in the depression column if it is an angle of depression. Write your answer on a
separate sheet.
That’s for today.
Goodbye, class!
