Time Instructional Procedures and Strategies

15 min Beginning the Lesson:

Introduce Polygon
Teacher: Will draw a regular polygon a
pentagon(Polygon) whiteboard

Divide it into 5 identical

triangles
Name the side x cm which
makes all sides x cm since all
sides of regular polygon are
equal

Student: will find the area of regular polygon

given the height and side
Teacher: Checks students work
20 min
Developing the Lesson:
Using a problem to illustrate how to find the areas of
regular Polygons
Teacher: Draw a regular Pentagon with side
lengths of the Pentagon:16 cm: Pentagon
divided into 5 identical triangles: height of
each triangle=11cm

Explain: Sum of the area of the 5 identical

triangles is the area of the Pentagon
Ask: How can you find the area of each
triangle?
Student: Ask question if they are confused
Giving a question to student
Teacher: Gives a question
Johanna has hexagonal placemat. She
measured the sides and found that they were
all 9.3 inches long. She then divided the
hexagon into 6 identical triangles. She
measured the height of the triangle and found
that it was 8 inches. Find the area of the
placemat.
Student: Will solve the question on their and
verify answer with their classmates
Teacher: Move around the desk and see the
students work
Student: will be allowed to answer and
explain

Beginning Practice 10.3 in Math textbook

Teacher: Will instruct students to solve
questions from 1 to 10
10 min
Student: Will solve the questions

Closing the Lesson:

Wrapping up
Teacher: will pick some student in the
 classroom and tell him/her to say what
they have learned today
Student: Will answer one by one
Teacher: will instruct student to finish
exercise 10.3 on their homework book
