INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURES

PERIOD 1 and 2

PRESENTATION

Step

Teacher’s Activity

Pupil’s Activity

STEP 1 – INTRODUCTION

Introduces angles using real-life examples like corners of doors, clock hands, scissors, and road signs. Explains that an angle is the space between two lines that meet at a point (vertex).

Pupils observe and mention examples of angles they’ve seen around.

STEP 2 – EXPLANATION

Discusses different types of angles: acute (< 90°), right (90°), obtuse (> 90° but < 180°), straight (180°), and reflex (>180°). Shows charts and asks pupils to identify each.

Pupils listen, observe the chart, and identify types of angles.

STEP 3 - DEMONSTRATION

Demonstrates how to identify types of angles from flashcards and real-life pictures.

Pupils participate by identifying angle types from the flashcards.

STEP 4 - NOTE TAKING

Writes definitions and examples of types of angles on the board.

Pupils copy notes and ask questions.

 

NOTE (On the Board):

Definition of an Angle:

  • An angle is the space between two lines that meet at a point.
  • The meeting point is called the vertex.

Types of Angles:

  • Acute Angle: Less than 90° (e.g., corners of a paper fold)
  • Right Angle: Exactly 90° (e.g., corners of a book)
  • Obtuse Angle: Greater than 90° but less than 180°
  • Straight Angle: Exactly 180°
  • Reflex Angle: Greater than 180°

Exercise:

  • Draw and label the 5 types of angles.
  • Identify real-life objects that show each type.

 

EVALUATION:

  • Ask pupils to identify types of angles in classroom objects.
  • Label angles from flashcards.

CLASSWORK:

  • Match angles to their correct names.
  • Identify angles in pictures and label them.

ASSIGNMENT:

  • Go home and find 5 examples of angles in your environment and write their type.

CONCLUSION:
The teacher commends pupils and reminds them to always look for examples of angles around them.

 

PERIOD 3 and 4

PRESENTATION

Step

Teacher’s Activity

Pupil’s Activity

STEP 1 – INTRODUCTION

Recaps previous lesson on types of angles. Introduces measurement of angles using protractors.

Pupils respond to questions and get ready with rulers and protractors.

STEP 2 – EXPLANATION

Demonstrates how to use a protractor to measure angles. Shows where to place the midpoint and how to read measurements.

Pupils watch carefully and ask questions.

STEP 3 - DEMONSTRATION

Measures various angles on the board using a protractor and asks pupils to do the same on paper.

Pupils practice measuring angles using their protractors.

STEP 4 - NOTE TAKING

Gives notes on measuring angles and how to use a protractor properly.

Pupils take notes and complete short measurement exercises.

 

NOTE (On the Board):

Measuring Angles:

  • Place the midpoint of the protractor on the vertex.
  • Align one line with the zero mark.
  • Read the degree where the second line falls.

Example:

  • Measure ∠ABC = 120°

Exercise:

  • Measure the following angles: ∠XYZ, ∠DEF, ∠LMN (drawn on the board).

 

EVALUATION:

  • Pupils measure angles using protractors.
  • Answer oral questions.

CLASSWORK:

  • Measure and record angles drawn on worksheets.

ASSIGNMENT:

  • Draw 5 angles and measure them accurately.

CONCLUSION:
Pupils are praised and encouraged to continue practicing with their protractors.

 

PERIOD 5

PRESENTATION

Step

Teacher’s Activity

Pupil’s Activity

STEP 1 – INTRODUCTION

Introduces parallel and transversal lines using board diagrams.

Pupils observe the diagrams.

STEP 2 – EXPLANATION

Explains and shows Corresponding, Alternate, and Vertically Opposite angles. Uses charts and diagrams.

Pupils ask questions and label angles with the teacher.

STEP 3 - DEMONSTRATION

Draws lines and angles on the board. Pupils identify angles formed. Uses real-life scenarios like road junctions.

Pupils come out to the board to identify and name angles.

STEP 4 - NOTE TAKING

Writes definitions and examples of the three angle types.

Pupils take notes.

 

NOTE (On the Board):

Angles from Parallel and Transversal Lines:

  • Corresponding Angles: Same position (top-top or bottom-bottom)
  • Alternate Angles: Opposite sides of the transversal
  • Vertically Opposite Angles: Formed when two lines cross

Example:
In the diagram with two parallel lines and one transversal:

  • ∠a = ∠e (Corresponding)
  • ∠b = ∠f (Alternate)
  • ∠c = ∠g (Vertically Opposite)

Exercise:

  • Identify the corresponding, alternate, and vertically opposite angles in given diagrams.

 

EVALUATION:

  • Pupils solve problems identifying angle relationships.

CLASSWORK:

  • Answer questions on corresponding, alternate, and vertically opposite angles.

ASSIGNMENT:

  • Look at a street with crossing lines or drawings in a textbook and label all the angles formed.

CONCLUSION:
Teacher commends pupils for identifying angle relationships and encourages daily observation of angles in their environment.

 

SUMMARY OF LESSON:

This week, pupils learned about angles, including types, how to measure them, and how to identify relationships between angles using parallel and transversal lines. They used real-life objects and measuring tools like protractors to reinforce their understanding and practiced both theoretical and practical angle-related problems.
