III. Procedure

A. Pre – activities

Class, let’s first sing our Math

Jingle altogether!

1. Drill
Class, kindly look at your
chairs, I have posted some
strips of papers on it
containing places. If you got
one kindly stand! (then the
teacher will show the map of
 the Philippines and that is for
pupils to point out where
those places are located using
strings and pins).
(PLACES: Chocolate hills,
Borongan, and Metro Manila).
(selected pupils should be able to
point out the places from the map
using strings and pins).

2. Motivation
Class, who among you here
had already played the very
famous game “Angry Birds”
from the computer?

Have you enjoyed playing this Yes Sir!

game?

What made you enjoyed the (different answers)

game?

Class, let me ask you? Do you

(varied answers)
know the story behind that
game “ Angry Birds”?

Okay, for us to understand

the story, here is a
presentation(role playing to be
presented by some selected
pupils) of what the story all
Sir, listen attentively to
about. But before we start, what
the teacher
are the standards or rules to
- Set properly
follow in listening a story and
- Do not do anything not
observing a presentation?
related to the lesson and etc.
Very Good! So you should follow
those standards!

(the teacher will tell the story as

the role playing is being
presented were pupils can
visualize what the story all about
giving emphasis of the use of
“compass” and the “map” as the
spring board of the lesson)
Here’s the story:

(some selected pupils will

perform the presentation-role playing
giving focus of the use of compass and
the map)

Once upon a time, their lived a friendly

birds in the city named:

 the red bird- red eagle/mother

bird

 the blue bird- puppy

 the yellow bird-scanler

 the black bird-sarge

 the white bird-heroine

and to make the story short, the

mother bird’s eggs are stolen by
the green pigs so the birds are
angry now and want to take
revenge by destroying the pigs in
their fortified castles and for
mother bird to find her eggs.
Mother bird decided to use
gadgets from the castle city which
is called the “Egg Compass” and
the “Egg Map”, so she is very
much lucky that she has the egg
compass and the egg map that
will help her to find her eggs that
were stolen by the green pigs but
until now she and her friends
wasn’t able to find her eggs yet.
B. Developmental Activities

1. Presentation

Class, who are again the

characters in the story?
Sir, the characters in the story are
Very good! Mother bird, Puppy, Scanler, Sarge,
Heroine and the Green pigs!

Sir, the green pigs had stolen mother

Who had stolen mother bird’s bird’s egg!
egg?

That’s right!

Sir, mother bird uses the compass and

Class, based on the story the map in finding her eggs!
(presentation), what object did mother
bird use in finding her eggs?

Yes that’s right!

Now class, where do we use that

compass? What is it for?

(the teacher will show the Compass/real

object) Sir, we use compass to locate directions
and we use map in finding places!

Very good! What a brilliant idea!

Class, the story that we had about

angry birds, this compass, this map has
something to do with our lesson for
today. And today we are going to discuss
all about “Locating the position of places
using primary and secondary directions (pupils will read altogether the lesson:
in relation to a certain point of “Locating the position of places using
reference” primary and secondary directions in
relation to a certain point of reference”
Okay class, let us read altogether
our lesson for today!
2. Discussion and Analysis

Class, you have said a while ago

that this compass is used to locate
directions isn’t it? Yes Sir!

And that is right, now everybody

take a look at the compass, what can you
see on the compass?
Sir their is an arrow on the compass!
Very Good! What else?
Sir, there are 4 letters on the compass!

Yes, that’s right! So what are the

letters? Sir, we have letters , N, E, S, and W!

Very Good!

Class, what do you think these 4 Sir, letter N stands for North, letter E
letters stands for? (the pupils will stands for East, letter W stands for West
generate ideas based on their and S stands for South!
background knowledge/experience)

Very Good! What a brilliant idea!

Class, what word can you form

Sir, NEWS!
from these letters?

Your correct!

Class, do you know that this word

“NEWS” that give us information come
from these letters or it was originated
here in these directions?

And in ancient time, the early

man don’t have yet the compass or
gadgets that tells or give information on
direction and time…what they are using
is on the movement of the sun and stars
that tells them what is the time, date and
where to go.

So class, what do we call these

North, East, West and South?

Very Good! They are directions Sir, they are directions!

and we called them primary directions.

Now, look at this compass, what

letters are added?
 Sir, we have NE, SE, NW, SW!

Very Good!

Are they also directions class? Yes Sir!

That’s right!

What do you think these two (the pupils will give the answers)
letters stands for? Let’s starts first with
NE (NORTHEAST)…and so on.

And we called them Secondary

Directions!

Everybody read:

Northeast, Northwest, Southeast

and Southwest!

Class, as we go on with our

discussion we will able to know why do
we call them secondary directions.

Now class, everybody look at this

diagram! (from the computer) what is
this diagram?
 Sir, that diagram shows a community
map!
Yes! That’s right!

Now, study the community map!

Class, where is the park

located/what is the center of the
community?

Very Good! The park is the

center of the community and we call it
the point of reference! Sir, at the center! (the park)
Say it again class! “the park is the (pupils will response)
point of reference!”

Now, let’s have a short exercise!

Let’s try to answer the following

questions:

1. Where is the park?

2. Where is the municipal building?
(the pupils will answer the
3. What is the center of the
questions)
community?
4. Where do you find the school?
5. Where do you find the public
library?
6. What do you find at the northeast
corner?
7. What do you find at the
southwest corner?
8. Where is the house located?
9. From my house, if I want to
practice at the dance studio,
where will I go?

Very Good! All your answers are correct!

Everybody let’s do the Yes Clap!

(afterwards, the teacher will give an

additional information about the topic
and show how to use the compass
properly)
3. Fixing Skills/Guided Practice

(through a game, “Egg Hunting” Similar

to the popular game “Angry Birds”)

 Group Activity

Class, a while ago you have known

what was the true story of the game
angry birds and until now mother bird
and her friends weren’t able yet to find
mother bird’s eggs. I think we can help
mother bird in finding her eggs and we
will do the “Egg Hunting Activity” so we
will play the game “angry birds”, we will
try to help mother bird in finding her
eggs.

But before we start, what are the

standards or rules to follow in
Sir, cooperate!
conducting a group activity?
-do not do anything not related to the
activity.
Very good! So, you should follow those
-try your best to give an answer or an
standards!
idea.

-be responsible

And we also have the rubrics that

will rate your outputs!
(the teacher will divide the class into 4
groups, each group will be given the
“hats”-a costume hats of the characters
of the angry birds were they are going to
wear it for identification of what group
are they)

Groupings (based on the characters of

angry birds)

Group 1- Scauler Group

Group 2- Sarge Group

Group 3- Puppy Group

Group4- Heroine Group

(Each group will be given their

respective tasks using an activity sheets,
including the incomplete map of the
school campus of ESDPES which the
pupils needs to be completed as how
puzzle map works. There will also be
stations of each activity where clues and
materials are present that will made
their task completed)

 the first group to finished, have

the complete puzzle map and
were able to find and bring the
egg inside the room and have the
exact time allotment will be the
winner and received a price from
the teacher!

(Reporting and Analysis

of the Group Outputs)

4. Generalization

Class, based on our discussion

and on the activity that we had, what are
Sir, the primary directions are North,
again the primary directions?
East, South and West!

Very good!

How about the secondary

directions?
 Yes, all your answers are correct! Sir, the secondary directions are
Northeast, Northwest, Southeast and
Southwest!
And what is the use of compass?
How about the map?

Sir, a compass is used to locate

What an excellent idea! directions! And a map is used to locate
places!

5. Valuing

Class let me ask you, is it

necessary for us to know and follow the
right directions?
(the pupils should be able
to explain the question very well)
C. Post – Activity

1. Application ( through a game)

(INSTRUCTION)
(This is called “Mathalino,
Mathinik Game” (the same
groupings) Each group will
arrange the given primary and
secondary directions written on a
circle shape colored papers based
on the place identified and from
the diagram shown. The group
who could do it fast and correctly
will be the winner!)

Shown in the diagram is a school map
