I. OBJECTIVES
A. CONTENT STANDARDS Demonstrates understanding of solid figures.

Is able to construct and describe the different solid

B. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS figures: cube, prism, pyramid, cylinder, cone and
sphere.

C. LEARNING COMPETENCIES (M6GE-IIIa-28) Differentiate solid figures from plane

figures.
Objectives:
At the end of the class 75% of the students should be
able to:
a. State the difference between solid figures from plane
figures.
b. Give an example of real objects resembling solid
figures and plane figures.
1. Plane figure is a geometric figure that is a flat whose
points lie on the same surface. It has no thickness,
only length and width that is why it is called two-
dimensional (2-D) shape. It can be composed of a
straight line, curve line or both straight and curved
lines.

2. Solid figures are three-dimensional (3-D) figures that

II. CONTENT have length, height and width. The three-
dimensional figure can be hollow of solid.

3. A 3D object is an object or shape that has three

dimensions – length, width and height while 2D
objects is a shape that has two dimensions – length
and width. Unlike two-dimensional shapes which can
be measured in only two faces, three-dimensional
shapes have thickness or depth.

2. Lesson Proper
a. Motivation

To start our lesson for today let us have this activity

called “Finding Objects!” I have here a picture
containing variety of objects.

And in order to get a clue on what are you going to

Yes teacher!
find, you have to choose one in these boxes. These
boxes contain clue/s about what objects you need to
find in the picture.

In choosing, just say the number of the corresponding box.

Is the instruction clear to everyone?

Let’s start!

Any volunteers?

Yes, Teacher!
 (Students raise their hands)

Possible answers (student’s answers may vary)

Box 1: wheels of the toy car, clock, bowl, eyes of the

child, mini table, rolled papers, rolled yoga mat,

Box 2: bell, cone hat, umbrella

Box 3: brown box, metal hammer, top/ ceiling part of

the toy car

Box 4: tool box, long table, books, woods, map, basket

B. ESTABLISHING PURPOSE OF THE NEW LESSON

C. PRESENTING EXAMPLES/INSTANCES OF THE NEW

LESSON
I have here a set of 3D objects and 2D objects.
When we say 3D shapes or objects these are solid objects
that has length, height, and width, it has volume and depth
while 2D shapes or objects are flat whose points lie on the
same surface. It has no thickness, only length and width.
Now what you’re going to do is to match these 3D objects to
their 2D look-alike by saying the corresponding number of
the shape.
Do you understand? Yes, Teacher.
Who wants to volunteer? Anyone? (Students may volunteer/ the teacher may call)

Thank you very much to those who volunteered, you may

now take your seats.

How did you match the 3D and the 2D pictures/ objects?

SPHERE CIRCLE

Correct! 3D and 2D objects are somewhat look-alike but

remember that it has differences.
Let us take a look at these 2 figures
We matched the 3D objects to their 2D look-alike by
analyzing each shape and figuring out that 3D figures
are just like 2D figures but just with height and
thickness.

Figure 1 Figure 2
Can anyone tell me what shape is figure 1?
How about the figure 2?
Very Good!
By comparing these 2 figures, can you tell me what are their
differences?
Figure 1 is a Cube
Figure 2 is a Square
Very well! Now based from the matching activity that we did
earlier which among the two figures are 3-dimensional
Figure 1 has thickness and depth while, Figure 2 is flat
object and which is the 2-dimensional object?
and has no volume or thickness. Figure 1 is more
Correct! realistic than figure 2 that looks like it is flatten in its
surface.
From the answers you have given to me and activities that
we did, what do you think is our lesson for today?
Based from the matching activity earlier, figure 1 is the
3-dimensional figure while Figure 2 is the 2-dimensional
Correct! Our lesson for today is all about differentiating 3D
 figure.
and 2D shapes which is also known as solid figures and plane
figures. After this lesson/ discussion you are expected to be
able to state the differences between solid figures from
plane figures, give an example of real objects resembling
solid figures and plane figures and shows cooperativeness
during group activity. Knowing the difference between solid figures and plane
figures.
D. DISCUSSING NEW CONCEPTS
Let us have this activity.
Miguel visited a store with his mom, while inside the store
he found the following objects.

From the items that he found, identify which of them are

plane figures and which of them are solid figures.
But before answering this activity let us first thoroughly
discuss what is plane figures and solid figures.
Again, can someone tell me what is a plane figure or as you
may know the 2D figure? Plane figure is a geometric figure that is a flat whose
points lie on the same surface. It has no thickness, only
length and width. A two-dimensional shape or the
Correct! Plane figure or 2D figure and can be composed of a plane figure can be measured in only two faces and can
straight line, curve line or both straight and curved lines. be considered as flat.
Can someone come here in front and draw a straight and
curve line in the board?
(A student will go in front and draw a straight line and
That is correct! curve line in the board
Plane figures are categorized into two the
 Open figure
 Close figure
Take a look at this picture

(The students will analyze the presented picture)

Can anyone from the class describe and tell me your

observation regarding the illustration/s of open figure? By analyzing and observing both open figure I can tell
that open figure has at least one endpoint and one side
are not connected to the rest, it has a gap in between,
sides does not meet.

Can anyone give me an example of an open figure that can

be found in your homes? Skipping rope, Ribbon, Belt, Connector/Cable wires etc
What about close figure? Closed figure has no break, no opening gaps, sides can
be traced from start to finish and has an area and
perimeter

Can you give an example of a close figure that can be found

in your homes? Hula-hoop, Hair tie, Bicycle Tires and etc.
Close figures are further categorized into polygonal plane Line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two
figures. Closed figures or polygons are bounded by line distinct end points, and contains every point on the line
segments. that is between its endpoints.
Can someone from the class define what is a line segment? Examples of polygons are triangle, quadrilateral,
pentagon and all the n-sided polygon
Correct!
Knowing that close figure are bounded by line segments and
can be categorized into polygonal plane figure, can someone
from the class give an example of polygons?
Correct! Now take a look at the picture presented, these are
examples of a polygon.

If a polygonal plane figures are formed only using line

segments, Non-polygonal plane figures are plane figures that
have curved sides/edges.
Can someone form the class give an example of non-
polygonal plane figure?
Correct! Now I need volunteers who can draw the said
example of non-polygonal plane figure at the board.
Very good! Examples of Non-polygonal plane figures are circle,
How about solid figure, who can tell me what is a solid figure ellipse and other non- polygonal planes.
or as you may know the 3D figure?
Let us take a look at this picture and identify the
characteristics of the different solid figure.

What are your observations based from the picture?

A 3D object also known as solid figure is an object or

shape that has three dimensions – length, width and
What can you say about the solid figure illustrated in the left height. A three-dimensional shape or the solid figure
side of the picture? have thickness or depth

By looking at the illustration where is the vertex located?

(Students will observe and analyze the presented
picture posted at the board)

What do you think is being illustrated in the table?

Based from recent illustration I have showed to you; can
someone point out where are the faces in these
illustrations?
How about the edges?
Where can we find the vertex in these solid figures?
Can someone tell me what examples of solid figure is these?
What kind of faces are present in these solid figures?
The picture illustrates the parts and characteristics of a
solid figure wherein it consists of the vertex, edges and
faces.
The solid figure on the left has faces or sides that are
polygons.
The vertex of an angle is the point where two rays begin
or meet, where two-line segments join or meet, where
two lines intersect (cross), or any appropriate

What are your observations based from the given
illustrations?
Compare Plane figure from solid figures through a table
Now that we have discussed the what are the plane and
solid figures and their differences, we can now identify
which are plane figure and solid figure Miguel saw in the
store.
E. APPLICATION EXERCISES
ACTIVITY I:
Direction: Write letter P if it is a plane figure and S if it
is a solid figure. Write your answers in a sheet of paper
ACTIVITY II:
Direction: On a sheet of paper, write PLANE if it is a
combination of rays, segments and lines that result in
two straight "sides" meeting at one place.
The following table shows illustrations of the different
solid figures with straight faces
Based from recent illustration that we have seen the
faces are found at the sides of the solid figures.
Edges is found when the sides or the faces meet and
form a line segment.
Vertex can be found in each point of an edge
The examples illustrated in the table are called prisms,
cube and pyramids.
The faces present in these solid figures are curved.
The solid figures with curved faces have no edges. The
cylinder having two circular bases and a curved lateral
face. The cone which has a circular base and a curved
surface pointed towards the top of apex. The sphere
which has all points with equal distance from the center
forming a curve surface.
Comparing Plane figures from Solid figures based from
the illustrations presented I can say that plane figure or
two-dimensional shape is flat and has length and width
while solid figures or three-dimensional shape has
thickness and depth and has length, width and height.

F. DEVELOPING MASTERY
Direction: Using the provided graphic organizer, list the Plane figure is a geometric figure that is a flat whose
similarities and differences of solid figures and plane figures. points lie on the same surface. It has no thickness, only
length and width. A two-dimensional shape or the
plane figure can be measured in only two faces and can
be considered as flat while A 3D object also known as
DIFFERENCES DIFFERENCES solid figure is an object or shape that has three
dimensions – length, width and height. A three-
SIMILARITIES dimensional shape or the solid figure have thickness or
depth
Plane figures can be measured in terms of length and
breadth while solid shapes can be measured in terms of
length, breadth, and height. Plane figures are known as
two-dimensional and solid shapes are said to be three-
dimensional. Plane figures can be constructed in a
drawing space while solid shapes cannot be. Plane
figures are triangles, squares, rectangles, and circles.
Solid shapes are cuboid, sphere, cube, and others
