DETAILED LESSON PLAN IN MATHEMATICS By: Genaro Nocete de Mesa, Jr. I.

OBJECTIVES During and after the lesson, the students are expected to:
1. measure the sides of a triangle using a ruler.

2. classify triangles according to sides. 3. cite significant applications of triangles in real life. II. SUBJECT MATTER A. Topic: Classification of Triangles According to sides B. References: Geometry by: Julieta G. Bernabe, pages 10-11 http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Classification_of_triangle_according_to_sides C. Materials: visual aids, ruler, activity sheets, pens, cut-out triangles D. Skills: measuring, classifying, listening, critical thinking E. Values to be integrated: teamwork, cooperation, participation F. Concepts: The classifications of triangles according to sides are: 1. Equilateral Triangle A triangle in which all sides are of equal length. 2. Isosceles Triangle A triangle in which two sides are of equal length. 3. Scalene Triangle A triangle in which all sides are of different length. G. Teaching Strategy: 4 As of learning (Activity, Analysis, Abstraction, Application) III. LEARNING ACTIVITIES

Good morning class! Good morning Sir! Everybody stand, let us pray. Karen, will you please lead the (Karen will lead the prayer) prayer? Before you sit down, kindly (The students will follow) arrange your chairs properly and pick up the pieces of dirt. Class secretary, who are absent None Sir! today? Please submit your assignment. Before we start our lesson, let us first recall your knowledge about the definition of triangle. What is a triangle? In the given figure, B A triangle is a polygon with three sides. visual aid (The students will pass their assignment)

What are the three sides?

The three sides are AB, BC and CA. cut-out triangles

Very good!

B. Motivation

Before we proceed to our lesson, (The students are performing let us have first group activity. I the activity.) will divide the class into six groups. Each group will make a collage of man using the cut-out triangles. Are you done class? Yes Sir!

Kindly post your outputs on the (The students will follow) board. Did you have fun doing the Yes Sir! activity? What can you say about the Some triangles different cut-out triangles in equal sides. terms of its sides? What else? Bright observations! So, your answers have something to do with our lesson for today.

Some triangles have 3 equal sides, and some doesnt have equal sides.

C. Presentation of the Lesson

In connection with the activity that youve done, today, we are going to discuss about classification of triangles according to sides. For todays lesson, we have the following objectives. (Objectives will be post on the board.) (The students will read the Will you read them one by one? objectives.) visual aid

EVALUATION ( 8 minutes)

Direction: Tell whether each triangle is isosceles, scalene or equilateral. Then explain your answer. (For example, write because two sides are equal) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. I am a triangle whose sides measure 3 cm, 5 cm and 3 cm. What type of triangle am I? I am a triangle whose sides measure 5 cm, 5 cm and 5 cm. What type of triangle am I? I am a triangle whose sides measure 200 in, 300 in and 400 in.What type of triangle am I? I am a triangle whose sides measure 12 in, 15 in and 15 in. What type of triangle am I? I am a triangle whose two sides measure 14 cm and 17 cm. All of my sides are equal to 45 cm. What type of triangle am I?

Expected Answers of the students: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. V. Isosceles, because two sides are equal. Equilateral, because three sides are equal. Scalene, because none of its sides are equal. Isosceles, because two sides are equal. Isosceles, because two sides are equal. ASSIGNMENT (2 minutes) A. Answer the following: 1. If the sum of the sides of an equilateral triangle is 45 cm. What does each side measure? 2. If one sides of an Isosceles triangle measures 4 meters and another side measures 6 meters, What could the remaining side measure? (Give all possible answers.) B. Research and study about classification of triangles according to angles. Reference: Any Geometry books
