Study Notes
Curriculum Overview
- Curriculum designed for Mathematics, Grade 7, Quarter 1, School Year 2024-2025.
- Intended for teachers implementing the MATATAG K to 10 Curriculum.
- Strictly prohibits unauthorized reproduction and distribution of material.
Key Competencies
- Demonstrate knowledge of regular and irregular polygons and their properties.
- Determine measures of angles and the number of sides of polygons.
Learning Objectives
- Define a polygon.
- Classify polygons based on sides and regularity (regular vs. irregular).
- Name, describe, and compare polygons (triangles, quadrilaterals, and polygons with 5, 6, 8, or 10 sides).
- Draw specified polygons using rulers, protractors, and compasses.
Content Focus
- Properties of Regular vs. Irregular Polygons.
- Integration of subject matter with paintings, artwork, and signboards.
Vocabulary
- Polygon: Closed-plane figure made up of line segments intersecting only at endpoints.
- Regular Polygon: Equilateral (all sides equal) and equiangular (all angles equal).
- Irregular Polygon: Sides and angles are not equal.
Teaching Procedures
-
Activating Prior Knowledge:
- Review naming polygons with a game format.
-
Lesson Purpose:
- Understand definitions and identification of polygons.
- Explore properties and practice drawing various polygons.
Development Activities
-
Sub-Topic: Define Polygon:
- Engage learners by asking questions about polygonal characteristics.
- Use examples to clarify the definition of polygons.
-
Sub-Topic: Naming Polygons:
- Introduce naming conventions based on the number of sides (e.g., triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon).
- Incorporate a table for learners to fill in the number of sides and angles of different polygons.
Polygon Characteristics
- Triangle: 3 sides, 3 angles.
- Quadrilateral: 4 sides, 4 angles.
- Pentagon: 5 sides, 5 angles.
- Hexagon: 6 sides, 6 angles.
- Additional polygons include heptagon, octagon, nonagon, and decagon.
Regular vs. Irregular Polygons
- Regular Polygons: All sides and angles are equal.
- Irregular Polygons: Not all sides or angles are equal.
- Discuss classic examples like squares (regular) and other irregular shapes.
Lesson Activities
- Engage students with practical drawing assignments to illustrate different polygons.
- Utilize technological resources (e.g., Geogebra) for constructing polygons with precise measurements.
Assessment
- Formative evaluations through identification, creation, and description of polygons.
- Encourage group collaboration and leadership during hands-on activities.
Closing Notes
- Emphasize the essential characteristics of polygons for student understanding.
- Reinforce learning through varied activities that encourage both individual and collective participation.### Drawing Polygons
- A decagon is a ten-sided polygon; each internal angle measures 144°.
- Use a ruler to measure side lengths in centimeters, drawn with lengths equal to 1 cm each in the decagon.
- A regular polygon has equal side lengths and angles.
Measuring Interior Angles
- Use a protractor to measure the interior angles of various polygons.
- The sum of the interior angles for a polygon can be calculated using the formula: (n-2) * 180°, where n is the number of sides.
Quiz Bee: Polygon Quiz
- Recognition of polygons by number of sides:
- Hexagon has 6 sides.
- Pentagon has 5 sides.
- Octagon has 8 sides.
- Decagon has 10 sides.
- Heptagon has 7 sides.
- Sum of interior angles for octagons is 1080°.
Drawing Activities
- Draw regular pentagon, hexagon, octagon, and decagon using a ruler, protractor, and compass.
- Steps for drawing:
- Create a circle corresponding to desired side length.
- Divide circle into equal parts using angle measurements (e.g., 72° for pentagon, 60° for hexagon).
- Connect points to form each polygon.
- Example side lengths:
- Pentagon: 2 cm each.
- Hexagon and Octagon: 3 cm each.
- Decagon: 3 cm each.
Understanding Relationships in Polygons
- Explore relationships between the number of sides and interior angles.
- Record findings in a table to identify patterns.
Drawing Triangles and Quadrilaterals
- Practicing construction of various polygons and reflecting on challenges faced during the process.
- Discuss real-life applications of geometric constructions.
Evaluating Learning
- Utilize formative assessments to evaluate understanding of polygon concepts.
- Encourage completion of fill-in-the-blank statements related to polygon properties.
Teacher's Reflection
- Reflect on teaching strategies, student engagement, and areas for improvement based on observed outcomes during polygon activities.
- Document effective practices and challenges encountered during lesson implementations.
General Takeaways
- Understanding polygon construction is useful in real life.
- Establish accurate measuring techniques to enhance geometry skills.
- Encourage student participation and leadership in group activities.
