C. Developmental Activities

1. Motivation
For today’s discussion, we have a special Yes, Sir.
visitor. Listen to this music and guess who is
our guest. Okay? It’s Diego! Sir.

(Plays audio)

Very Good!
Our today’s visitor is Diego. Like Dora,
Diego has a bag too that contains different
kinds of stuff. But upon travelling here,
Diego lost some of his things. Please help
Diego to find them. It may be under your
table.
Can you please look for them and tell me
what you have found, then put them on his
bag.

Table 1: A picture of a road sign.

 Table 2: A picture of a kite.

Table 3: A picture of a doghouse.

Very Good! Table 4: A picture of piattos chip.

What did you notice on the pictures you had?

What do you think is our topic for today? (The students’ answers may vary.)

Great! Our topic is all about Polygon.

2. Presentation
Numerical prefixes are used to describe
things based on their numerical
characteristic. For example:

What is in this picture?

Bicycle – Bi means two, bicycle has two A bicycle.

wheels.

Another example, what is in this picture?

Triangle – Tri means three, triangle has A triangle.

three angles.

Last example, what is in this picture?

Octopus – Octo means eight, octopus is a An octopus.

living thing with eight arms.
 When we are talking about Polygon –
Poly means many, and gon means angle, a
polygon is a close plane figure with many
angles and it’s made up of several line
segments that are joined together.
In a polygon, the line segments are called
sides. And when the two sides meet at a
common point it is called vertex.

Can you follow?

Yes, Sir.
Again what is a polygon?

A polygon is a close plane figure with

many angles and it’s made up of several
How about the side? line segments that are joined together.

And how about the vertex? It is the line segments of a polygon.

It is when two sides meet at one common

I have here an incomplete figure. Draw or point it is called vertex.
connect the dots to form a polygon.
O

H U

E S

What polygon have you drawn?

How many sides does it have? It is a pentagon.

Correct! The polygon has 5 sides.

How about its vertices?

Excellent! It has 5 vertices.

To name a polygon, we assigned

capital letters at each vertex.

What do you think is the name of the

figure/polygon?

Very Good! It is polygon HOUSE. The name of the polygon is HOUSE.

Now, let’s try to identify the given

polygon by supplying the appropriate
prefix.
_____gon _____gon

_____gon _____gon

_____gon _____gon

pentagon octagon

hexagon nonagon

heptagon decagon

How do we identify a polygon?

To identify a polygon, we should count
how many sides the figure has.
Very Good!

Before we move to our group activity.

I have a trivia for you!
“Do you know that, there is a polygon with
one million sides, it is called megagon or
1 000 000-gon. Even if drawn at the size of
the Earth, a regular megagon would be very
difficult to distinguish from a circle.”

3. Enrichment
*Group Activity:
Think of a name for the given polygons by
assigning capital letters to their vertices.

Group 1

Group 2
 Group 3

Group 4

To draw a polygon we will mark the

points and connect them consecutively to
4. Generalization form a close figure.
 How do you draw a polygon?

By counting all the sides of the polygon.

 How are polygons determined as

Pentagon, Hexagon, Heptagon, etc.? We can name a polygon by assigning
capital letters and identifying all its
vertices in consecutive order.
 How do you name a polygon?

5. Application
Individual Activity:

Think of a any 6-letter word such that

letters will not be repeated. Then, draw a
Hexagon on the graphing paper. Label the
vertices with the CAPITAL LETTER of your
chosen word.

IV. Evaluation True

2. A decagon is a polygon with ________ sides. six sides

 3. If a polygon has ________, then it is a five
hexagon.
Capital
4. “Penta” means ________.

5. _________ letters are used at each vertex to

name a polygon.

V. Assignment
Observe your surroundings at home. List down
the things that represent polygons including the
number of sides. Draw them in a short bond paper. Good bye, Sir JD.

That’s all for our discussion.

Good bye class.
