III. PROCEDURE:

Teacher’s Activity Pupil’s Activity

A. Preliminary Activity
1. Greetings

Good morning class.

Good morning Teacher Rannel!
How are you today?
We are fine Teacher.
Good to hear that.
Are you ready to learn?
Yes we are.
I can’t hear you.
Yes we are!
Very good! It seems that are really
ready to learn.

2. Drill

But before we move on to our

proper discussion, let us familiarize
first these terms.

(The teacher will post a chart on

the board)

1. Triangle
2. Quadrilateral – (square and
rectangle)
3. Pentagon
4. Hexagon
5. Heptagon
 Let’s read class.
(The class will read the content of the
Very Good! chart)

3. Review

Triangle, Quadrilateral and the

others are called polygon. Last
meeting we discuss about polygon
right?
What is polygon class?
Polygon is a closed plain figure which
has side and vertices.
Very good.
This time, I have here a box and
inside this box are polygons that
you are going to identify. Each one
of you will pick a polygon and
identify its name by posting or
connecting it to the chart that we
have earlier.

(Polygons inside the box)

Who will come to the board and

identify a polygon?
(Pupils will answer)

1. Triangle
2. Quadrilateral – (square and
rectangle)
3. Pentagon
4. Hexagon
5. Heptagon

Very good!
Let’s read what you did class.
(Pupils will read.)
Very good! Now I can say that you
really mastered the topic that we
had last meeting.
4. Motivation

This time I have here another

polygon which is a quadrilateral.

(the teacher will show a rectangle

with an image of a plant at the
back)

What kind of quadrilateral is this?

A rectangle.
Very good.
At the back of this rectangle is a
picture.

(the teacher will flip the rectangle

and a picture of a plant will be
shown)

Plant

What can you see on the picture?

A plant.
Do you love plants?
Yes because it gives us food.
How can you show that you love
plants?
By taking good care of the and watering
them so they will grow.
Very good.
Do you want this plant to grow so
that it can give us food?
Yes teacher?
Okay, I have here water. Who will
come to the board and water our
plant so it will grow.
(someone will volunteer to water the
Very good. plant)
Because we love the plant and we
took good care on it, it will give us
a farm full of plants and foods.

(the teacher will take off the image

of a plant and different sets of
plants and vegetables will be
shown)
B. Lesson Proper
1. Activity

As you observe, you only have a

little amount of plants and
vegetables in your farm. But you
can plant more or you can plant
less depending on how you truly
love your plants.
This time we are going to play,
Plants vs Zombie. You will be the
farmer to plant and I will the
zombie that will eat your plant. I
have here some flash cards with
multiplication problem. I will show it
to the whole class and everyone
must answer within 5 seconds
only. Every correct answer is
equivalent to a set of plant or
vegetables but every wrong
answer is equivalent to a zombie
that will eat a portion of you farm.
Are you ready to play and defend
your farm from my zombies?
Yes we are!
Okay let's start.

(the activity will end after 5

flashcards)

2. Analysis

Wow you really planted a lot.

(the rectangle will be filled of plants

and vegetable)

Let’s count how many plants and

vegetables have you planted.
18 plants
How many plants and vegetables
are there in a row?
6 plants
How many plants and vegetables
are there in a column?
3 plants
Very good!
3. Abstraction

The number of plants and

vegetables in a row are what we
called width in Mathematics. The
column is the length and the total
number of plants is the Area of the
farm or the whole rectangle.

(the teacher will post a visual aid)

1 2 3 4 5 6
7 8 9 10 11 12
13 14 15 16 17 18

A=L×W

Area – the number or total of unit

squares that can be contained
within it.
Length – is describing how long an
object is. It is the longer side of a
certain polygon like rectangle.
Width – tis describing how wide an
object is. It is the shorter side of a
rectangle.
*The area of a rectangle can be
measured by counting all the
squares that can be contained
within it but in an easier way, we
can just simple multiply the length
and the width and we will get the
same answer.
For example:
A=L×W
A=6×3
A = 18
 *Unit measures that are commonly
used are mm, cm, m, in, ft, km and
miles.

For example:

4cm

6 cm
A=L×W
A = 6 cm × 4 cm
A = 24 cm2
Because:
6 × 4 = 24
cm × cm = cm2

Word problem:

Mang Pedring is planning to buy a

farmland so that he can plant rice and
other root crops for his family. He
saw a lot for sale which is 7 meters
wide and 10 meters long. What is the
area of the farm land?

7m

10 m

A=L×W

A = 10m × 7m

A = 70m2

Did you understand class?

Yes teacher.
Any question?
None teacher.
Very good!
 4. Application

Since you are all very good, I will

give you a candy.

(there will be 5 types of candies so

that the class will be divided into 5
groups for the group activity)

Max – group 1
Snow bear – group 2
Lollipop – group 3
Mentos – group 4
White rabbit – group 5

Do all of you have candy?

Yes teacher.
Very good.

(the teacher will guide the pupils to

be in their respective group)

This time, we are going to have a

group activity. You will be group
according to the candy that you’ve
got. Each group will be given an
envelope with an activity inside.
But before that, let us read first our
rubrics that will serve as your
guide for the group activity.

(the teacher will distribute the activity)

Group 1:
Mr. Opimo has a garden which is 8 meters
wide and 12 meters long. What is the area
of his garden?
 Group 2:
What is the area of the blanket if it is 3m
cm wide and 6m long?

Group 3:
A farmland has a length of 9 km and a
width of 5 km. What is the area of the
farmland?

Group 4:
What is the area of the book if it is 24cm
wide and 43cm long?

You will be given 5 minutes to do the
activity and 5 minutes for the presentation.
Your time starts now.
Group 5:
2 boys walked from the same spot. If the
first boy walked 35m to north and the
second boy walked 27m to the east, what
is the total area they had cored?
(the pupils will do the group activity and
present their output after the given time)

Based on the rubrics, the group which got

the highest point is group _______.
Congratulations, here is your reward.

Did you learn from our lesson class?

Yes teacher.
Any question class?
None teacher.
Very good.
