Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

A. Preliminary Activities

1. Prayer

Everyone please stand up and let us

pray.

Our Almighty God,

Give me added peace, subtract anything in

me not pleasing to you, take on my gift to
the next power and divide the sea for me to
walk into your promise.

Amen

2. Greetings
 Good morning, class!

Before you take your seat:

Clap once, clap twice, clap thrice Good morning, Sir!

Eyes on me, are you with me?

Sit down, silently.

When I ask you. You will say, “Yes,

Sir! St. (Section), is ready to listen.” (The students will clap)

Are you ready to listen?

Yes, Sir!

Yes, Sir! St. (Section), is ready to listen.

3. Checking of Attendance

For our attendance, secretary of the

class is there any absentees for
today?

Very good, class! Because of that all of

you will receive a one-point chip.
There is no absentee for today, Sir!

4. Review

As a review, what is the Right Triangle

Similarity Theorem?

Right Triangle Similarity Theorem

What is the Geometric Means
Theorem? If the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of
a right triangle, then the two triangles
formed are similar to the original and to
each other.
What is Altitude Rule?

Geometric Means Theorem

What is Leg Rule?
In a right triangle, the altitude from the right
angle to the hypotenuse divides the
hypotenuse in two segments.

Very good! It is good that you can still

 recall our previous discussion.

Altitude Rule

The length of the altitude is the geometric

mean of the lengths of the two segments.

Leg Rule

The length of each leg of the right triangles

is the geometric mean of the lengths of the
hypotenuse and the segment of the
hypotenuse adjacent to the leg.

B. Developmental Activities

1. Motivation

Before we start our discussion, let’s

have first a warm up to stretch our
bodies. Please stand up.

(The students will dance)

 (The teacher will play a video)

2. Activity

To start our discussion, I have here an

activity entitled, “RIGHT Fill, SPECIAL
Proof”

I want you to analyze the figure and

statement. On a piece of paper, I want
you to write your answer. I will give

you 3 minutes and after that I will call

students to share their answers.

Your timer starts now!

(Timer Video Presentation)

Times up! Let’s check your answer.

Very good, class!

 (The students will do the activity)

1. (a²+b²=c²), √ 2 a ², a√ 2

2. 60, 4a², 3a²

3. Analysis

a. What have you noticed on the given

pictures?

There are two triangles and are both right

b. Beside from that, what about the
triangles.
measurements of the angles?

Very good, from that we can say that

are our given are example of Special They measurement of the angles are: 45-
Right Triangle. And today we are 45-90 and 30-60-90.
going to discuss the Special Right
Triangle Theorems. Now, let’s
discuss the two special right triangles.
Kindly read.

Example:

On our example we are looking for the

value of hypotenuse. What do you
think is the answer?

45-45-90 Right Triangle Theorem

In a 45-45-90 right triangle:

 each leg (a & b) is

√2 times the
Very good, kindly read our next special 2
right triangle. hypotenuse; and
 the hypotenuse (c) is √ 2 times each
leg.

Example:

What do you think is the value of our

hypotenuse? What is the value of
longer leg?
 The answer is 4√ 2, Sir.

30-60-90 Right Triangle Theorem

In a 30-60-90 right triangle:

1
 the shorter leg (a) is the
2
hypotenuse or
√2 times the longer
2
leg;
 the longer leg (b) is √ 3 times the
shorter leg; and
 the hypotenuse (c) is twice the
shorter leg.

The answer hypotenuse is 8 and longer leg

is 4√ 3, Sir.

4. Abstraction

Now, let’s strengthen your knowledge

about the special right triangle. I want
you to try this activity entitled, “I’m
Special; Look for my Value”

Directions: Refer to each diagram,

solve for the missing parts.

45-45-90:
1.
 30-60-90:
2-3.

I will give you 5 minutes to answer and

after that, I will call students to share
their answer.

Timer starts now!

(Timer Video Presentation)

Times up! Let’s check if your answers

are correct. I will be guiding you in
explaining your answer.

Very good, class!

(The students will answer the activity)

Answer:

1. 5

2. x = 6

3. y = 12

5. Application

I want you to take a look at these

pictures.
 Are you
familiar
with the
boy?
Yes, he is Ishaan from Every Child is
Special.
What about with girl?

How can you consider a child as Yes, she is considered as special child.
special?

What about you? Do you consider By their differences and characteristics

yourself as special? How?
(Answer may vary)

Yes, because I have unique talent and skill

Very good, just like you we consider
our triangles as special right triangles (Answer may vary)
because they have also unique or
characteristics that defines them (the
45-45-90 and 30-60-90).
