This lesson plan outlines how to teach students to calculate the area of triangles. It includes the objectives of stating the area formula, drawing triangles, and cooperating in activities. Sample triangles are provided to derive the formula that the area of a triangle is one-half the base times the height. Students practice calculating areas and solving for missing base or height values using the appropriate formula. An evaluation and assignment are included to assess student understanding.

- 1. Lesson Plan in Mathematics I. Objectives a. State the formula for finding the area of triangle; b. Draw and illustrate the area of given triangle and; c. Cooperate in all activities. II. Subject Matter: a. Topic: Deriving a formula for finding the area of triangle b. Reference: Grade School Mathematics V p. 230-231 c. Materials: Cut outs of rectangle and triangle, learning activity sheets III. Procedure: A. Preparatory Activities 1. Mental Exercise What shape do we have on the board? How many triangles are these on the board? How about in this figure? How many different triangles can you find? How about in this figure? 2. Motivation Our barangay fiesta here in Nancayasan is getting near isn’t class? Since our fiesta is getting near, Diola bought a piece of colored paper 10 decimeters long and 6 decimeters wide. She cut diagonally to make 2 pieces of pennants for the barrio fiesta parade. What is the area of each piece? What do the people do during the fiesta? What do they usually prepare? Are flag lets important during fiestas? Why? B. Developmental Activities 1. Presentation What did Diolea do the piece of colored paper? What figure were form if she cut it diagonally? Do you know the area of this figure? So today, we are going to discuss on how to find the area of the triangle. This is the colored paper bought by Diolea.
- 2. How did she cut again the colored paper class? 6 dm 10 dm What is the measurement of the cloth? Now this is the half part of the cloth. 6 dm 10 dm The formula in finding area of the triangle is: A=1/2 x (bxh) or A=bxh/2 What is asked in our problem? Solution in finding the Area of a Triangle: A=1/2 x (bxh) A=1/2 x (10 dm x 6 dm) A= ½ x 60 dm2 A=30 sq dm or 30 dm2 The area of the triangle is 30 sq dm or 3o dm2 We have another example here. 6cm 6.4 cm 5cm What numbers are to be used in finding the area of the triangle? What is the formula in finding the area? Solution: A=1/2 x (bxh) A=1/2 x (6cm x 5cm) A=1/2 x30cm2 A=15 sq. cm or 15 cm2 How about if the unknown is the length of the base? How will you solve that? Solution for finding the base of the triangle:
- 3. Any whole numbers will have an automatically denominator of 1. The formula in finding the length of the base is: A=20m2 h=4m Let us solve for the base of the triangle: B=2A/h =2(20m2 )/4m =40m2 /4m =10m The base of the triangle is 10m. Another example: A=45m2 H=5m Who will solve the base of the triangle on the board? How about if the height is unknown? What is the formula? H=2A/b For example: A=16cm2 B=4cm Who will solve for the height of the triangle? 2. Post Activity Solve the following what being asked: a) 5cm 7cm b) 4cm 6cm c) 8m 12m B=2A/h
- 4. 3. Generalization What is the formula in finding the area of the triangle? How will you derive the formula of the area of a triangle? IV. Evaluation 1. Solve the area of triangle. a. 5m 4m b. 4m 10m 2. Find the base of a triangle. A=52cm2 H=8cm B=? 3. Find the height of a triangle. A=49cm2 B=7cm H=? V. Assignment Give the formula for the area of the triangle. Write the equation. a. 10cm 15cm b. B=30cm c. H=12cm _________________ Emilyn R. Ragasa BEEd-III
