SESSION TITLE: Grade 8, Geometry 3rd Quarter and 4th Quarter

DURATION: 12 hours

I. OBJECTIVES: At the end of the training, the Grade 8 Mathematics teachers will be able to teach competently the critical
competencies in Math 8. Specifically, the teachers will be able to:

1. solve problems under each strand in mathematics curriculum;

2. create problems/activities/tasks that promote critical thinking skills and/or applicable to daily life;
3. prove theorems in Geometry;
4. relate probability to statistical measures involving real-life problems;
5. exhibit problem solving strategies and approaches applicable in teaching the math concepts correctly devoid of
misconceptions and malpractices; and
6. identify the appropriate assessment that is suited to the critical content.

II. KEY UNDERSTANDING / CONTENT

1. Axiomatic structure of a mathematical system in geometry
2. Triangle Congruence Postulates
3. Right Triangle Congruence
4. Triangle Inequalities
