II. LESSON PROPER

A. Activity

Alright. You got the correct answers.

This time, let’s play a game, I have here
a balloon, inside this balloon there are
different polygons, then tell me how
many sides of polygon it has. I am going
to play a music, as the music start you
are going to pass it on your seatmates
and if the music stops the one who hold
the balloon will pop up the balloon and -6 sides
answer it. -10 sides
-5 sides
-hexagon -7 sides
-decagon -4 sides
-pentagon
-heptagon
-quadrilateral
B. Analysis
Very good to all the students who got a right
answer. Polygon is a closed plane figure made up of

types of polygons. end point.
Would someone read this definition polygon
for me?

Thanks.
Do you know that polygons are named Triangle
according to the number of its sides? A triangle has a three sides.
It has three angles. “tri” which means “3’’.
Okay! Now, let’s look at the figures (while
pointing the triangle, the teacher will ask the
students) What shape is this?
Can anyone tell me what makes different Quadrilateral
from other shapes? A quadrilateral has four sides. It has four
angles. “quad” means “4”.
Nice answers! In addition to your answers,
triangle has a prefix “tri” which means “3”.
Let’s proceed with the next polygon. (While
pointing at the quadrilateral, the teacher will Pentagon
ask the students) What polygon is this? What A pentagon has five sides. It has five angles.
can you tell me about it?

Let’s proceed to the next polygon. (while “pent” means “five”.

pointing at the pentagon, the teacher will ask
the students) What polygon is this? What can
you tell me about it? Hexagon
What is the prefix of pentagon? What does A hexagon has six sides. It has six angles.
“pent” means?

“hexa” means “six”

What is the prefix of decagon? What does it Heptagon
mean? A heptagon has seven sides. It has seven
angles.
That’s good class. I know that you’ll find it “Hepta” means seven and “gonia” means

having equal sides and equal angles? In Latin, this polygon is known as septagon,
You got it! where “septa” means seven and “gon” means
angle.
C. Abstraction
Octagon
What are the polygons that we have An octagon has eight sides. It has eight
discussed and how many sides they have? angles.
“octa” means “eight”
D. Application
You got it! Now, let’s have a short activity Nonagon
before you take the quiz. A nonagon has nine sides. It has nine angles.
Using a ruler, draw the following regular
polygons inside each box. “nona” means “nine”
1. A regular polygon with 3 sides.
2. A regular polygon with 4 sides. Decagon
3. A regular polygon with 5 sides. A decagon has ten sides. It has ten angles.
4. A regular polygon with 6 sides. “deca” means “ten”
5. A regular polygon with 8 sides.

Regular Polygons

Triangle has 3 sides, quadrilateral has 4

sides, pentagon has 5 sides, hexagon has 6
 sides, heptagon has 7 sides, octagon has 8
sides, nonagon has 9 sides and decagon has
10 sides.

IV.EVALUATION
Directions: Fill the table with the correct answer.
