III. Procedure
A. Preparatory Activities:
Teacher’s Activity Pupil’s Activity
Good morning, class. How are you today? Good morning teacher. We’re doing fine today.
Today, we’re going to have a new lesson, but before
that, let’s have our prayer first.
Let us bow our heads and feel the presence of the
Lord as we say, "In the name of the father, and of the (The class will say the Our Father prayer together.)

You may now take your seats. May I know who’s (The class will report the absentees.)
absent today?
Okay, we’re all set!
B. Motivation:
Now, I want you to put all of the chairs on the side and
form a straight line according to your answer. I will
flash some things on the TV and try to find their
similarity on the printouts pasted on the floor.
Are you ready? Yes, teacher.
Now, all of you, go to the back and wait for the image (The class went to the back and are focused on the
on the screen before you step forward. TV screen.)
Okay, class, here is the first object. Now, fall in line (The students fall into line according to their

similar to the one on the TV.
The activity went on until all of the objects were
flashed on the TV screen.
Throughout your whole life, you must Yes teacher.
have seen things like these right?
They look different from each other.
What have you noticed about the physical features of
these things?
So, did you have fun? .Yes, teacher.
Well done, class. Now, return the chairs and be
seated.
C. Lesson Proper:
1. Scaffolds question:
Do you know the four basic shapes and why they are important?
2. Discussion:
Presentation
The pictures you saw during the activity are part of
our lesson today which is all about the basic shapes.
The first basic shape is called a triangle. It has three
sides, and you can see it in things like a sliced
watermelon, a party hat, and a cone of ice cream. A traingle.
What shape is it?
The second shape is called a square. It has four
sides, and they are all the same.
Can you tell me how many sides a square has?
It has four sides, teacher.
Squares are commonly seen in presents, biscuits,
and windows.
The third basic shape is called a circle. It has no
sides, and it is round in form. It looks like the sun
and the ball.
What shape has no sides?
Circle
The fourth and last basic shape is the rectangle. It
has four sides, just like a square, but its length is
greater than its width.You can see rectangles in the
form of a door, a book, and a building.
What shape is this?
It’s a rectangle teacher.
Okay class, do you understand the lesson? Yes teacher.
Do you have questions? None, teacher.
Now, let’s go back to our activity from earlier and Okay teacher.
see if you got the answers right.
The first object is a ball. What shape is the ball? Circle teacher.
Correct! Its shape is a circle because it has no sides.
Your answers were correct.
The second picture is called a slice of pizza. What is Triangle teacher.
its shape?
Its shape is a triangle because it has how many
sides? 1,2,3... 3 sides teacher!
Good job!
The third picture shows what object? A box teacher.
Yes, it’s a box. What shape is the box? Square, teacher.
Yes, it’s a square, and it has how many sides? 1,2,3,4... Four sides!
Very good! I see that you also got it right earlier.
Last but not the least, what object is it? It’s a door teacher.
Yes, it’s a door. How many sides does it have? Four sides, teacher.
Yes, it has four sides, and two of them are longer It’s a rectangle teacher.
than the other two sides. Therefore, what shape is
the door?
D. Value Integration:
Class, I will show you something, and all you have to
do is name the object.
What is this thing? It’s a 50 peso bill teacher.
It’s a rectangle teacher.
What is its shape?
Very good!
So class, with the help of the rectangular shape, we
have paper bills. And paper bills are essential to living
because we use them to buy necessities such as food, No teacher.
water, clothes, and many more. Without the
rectangle, do you think our paper bills would be as
beautiful as what we have today?
That is why the rectangle is important because it is
part of the things that we use in our everyday lives.
What about this—can you name these? Yes, they’re coins, plate, spoons, and wheels
teacher.
What shape are these things?
Circle, teacher.
Very good! These things are all circles. Just like the
rectangle, circles play an important part in our lives.
Imagine if the wheels in the vehicles were square; do
you think they could roll? No. The car would jolt up
and down because the edges and flat sides of the
wheels would be at different distances from the
wheel's center. Without the coins, we cannot
purchase goods and other things. Without plates,
spoons, and other round utensils, we cannot eat
comfortably, and everything at the table would be
messy.
How about this, class? Can you name this? Yes teacher. It’s a hanger. We use it to hang our
clothes.
What shape is this thing? Triangle teacher.
Yes, you’re right. This invention is also helpful in our
lives as it makes our life easier. Through this triangular
hanger, we can hang our clothes without having to
fear that our laundry would fall.
It’s a window teacher.
Class, what do you call this thing?
What shape is this window? Square teacher.
Very good. Windows, whether square or rectangle-
shaped, all facilitate the entry of natural light indoors.
Windows also allow us to enjoy the views outside and
keep houses cross-ventilated. Through the help of
shapes, windows are made possible.
Individual Activity
Class, it’s time for an activity. Get a whole sheet of
paper and draw something you can see in your home
or inside the classroom that has a shape. Don’t forget (The class will do the activity individually.)
to put a label on the corresponding shape. You can use
any kind of art material you're comfortable with. One
drawing per basic shape only. Your 4 minutes start
now.
Time’s up! Pass your paper class! Pass it without
standing.
E. Generalization
The teacher asks questions relating to the topic to The class will raise their hands and answer the
check if the lesson was taught effectively and to see if question given about the basic shapes.
the materials used were helpful to their learning.
_____ can you name the four basic shapes? The four basic shapes are triangle, square, circle,
and rectangle.
What shape has four equal sides? Square
What shape has no sides? Circle
What shape has four sides, but two of them are longer Rectangle
than the other two?
Why are shapes important in our lives? (The learner will have to answer the question
according to his or her understanding and
perception of the importance of the different
shapes in his or her life.)
What shape has three sides? Triangle
Can you give me an example of an object that has a (The learner will give an answer.)
circle-like shape, a rectangular shape, and a triangular
shape?
Great. You may now take your seat. Any questions,
clarifications, and whatnot? None so far, teacher.
Okay, then, enjoy the rest of the day. Goodbye, class.
Goodbye, and thank you teacher/s.
