LESSON PLAN IN MATHEMATICS IV (SSES)

I. Objectives
1. Derive the formula in finding the area of triangle.
2. Find the area of a triangle with the given base and height.
3. Solve real-life word problems involving finding the area of a triangle.

II. Subject Matter

Topic: Finding the Area of a Triangle
Mathematical Concept: The formula in finding the area of a triangle is A= (bxh)/2.
Materials: Tablet, white board, balloon, marker, puzzle pieces, triangle cut outs,
ruler, boxes, bondpaper, brush, charts, PowerPoint Presentation
Reference: Mathematics 4 Teacher’s Guide

III. Procedure/Teaching Strategies

A. Preliminary Activities
a. Drill
Using Quizzizz, an online game-based platform, pupils will answer
each multiplication and division sentence in group.

7x5= 24 ÷ 6 =
9x9= 49 ÷ 7 =
15 x 3 = 50 ÷ 10 =
20 x 5 = 75 ÷ 15 =
25 x 3 = 96 ÷ 12 =

b. Review
Direction: Find the area of a square, rectangle and parallelogram.
The review part is in the form of game (Balloon Relay)

c. Motivation
Each group will assemble the puzzle pieces to form different triangles
with different images.

Ask the pupils about the images they formed. Integrate the lesson to
different learning areas.

Those plain figures are related to our topic for today.

B. Developmental Activities
1. Present a problem to the class.

Grade 4 SSES class of Victoria East Central School want to create a

beautiful triangular garden to support the school’s clean and green
program. Pupils want to know the area of the garden to determine how
much soil and plants they will need. The triangular garden has a base
measuring 8 meters, and the height is 5 meters. What is the area of the
triangular garden of Grade 4 SSES Class?
2. Derive the formula in finding the area of a triangle using rectangle and
parallelogram.
3. Based on the given formula, solve the problem.
4. Give some examples to the pupils and let them answer on the board.
5. Each group will be given triangle cut-outs. They will measure the height
and base using a ruler and find the area of each triangle. (Measure and
Record)
6. Give another activity to the pupils to test their understanding on the topic.
(Deal or No Deal Game)
C. Fixing Skills
1. Each group will perform a task to be able to get the area of a triangle.
(Magic in Mathematics)
D. Generalization
Ask: What is the formula in finding the area of a triangle?
Let’s sing!
Area of Triangle
(In the tune of Are you Sleeping Brother John)

To find the area, to find the area

Of triangle, of triangle
Multiply the base and height, multiply the base and height
Divide by two, divide by two.

E. Application
Group 1: Answer the word problem to get the area of triangle.
Group 2: Measure the height and base of the triangle and get the area.
Group 3: Make a triangle with a given base and height and get the area.
Group 4: Find the area of the given triangles.

IV. Evaluation
A. Direction: Complete the table by finding the area of each triangle.
