III. LESSON PROPER
Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
A. Preliminary Activities
1. Prayer
Everyone please stand up and let us
pray.
Our Almighty God,
Give me added peace, subtract anything in
me not pleasing to you, take on my gift to
the next power and divide the sea for me to
walk into your promise.
Amen
2. Greetings
Good morning, class!
Before you take your seat:
Clap once, clap twice, clap thrice
Good morning, Sir!
Eyes on me, are you with me?
Sit down, silently.
When I ask you. You will say, “Yes,
Sir! St. (Section), is ready to listen.” (The students will clap)
Are you ready to listen?
Yes, Sir!
Yes, Sir! St. (Section), is ready to listen.
3. Checking of Attendance
For our attendance, secretary of the
class is there any absentees for
today?
Very good, class! Because of that all of
you will receive a one-point chip.
There is no absentee for today, Sir!
4. Review
As a review, what is the SSS Similarity
Theorem?
SSS Similarity Theorem
Very good! It is good that you can still
recall our previous discussion. Two triangles are similar if the
corresponding sides of two triangles are
proportion.
B. Developmental Activities
1. Motivation
Before we start, let’s stretch first our
bodies by dancing, “The Banana
Dance”
(The teacher will demonstrate the
dance)
1. Peel Banana (2x)
2. Cut Banana (2x)
3. Eat Banana (2x)
4. Digest Banana (2x)
5. Out Banana (2x)
(The students will dance)
2. Activity
Let’s start by having an activity
entitled, “RIGHT Gibberish: RIGHT
Part”
Mechanics:
1. The teacher will show a picture of
triangle.
2. The students must identify the parts
of the given triangle.
3. The student who will volunteer and
get all the correct answer will receive a
chip.
Given:
Clue:
1. Lung-Gear-Leg = _____
2. She-Your-Tear-Leg = _____
3. High-Pou-Tee-Nose = _____
4. All-Tee-Tuned = _____
I will give you 1 minute to complete the
parts.
(Timer Video Presentation)
Times up! What is your answer?
Very good, class!
(The students will do the activity)
Answer:
1. Longer Leg
2. Shorter Leg
3. Hypotenuse
4. Altitude
3. Analysis
a. Based on the activity, what type of
triangle does we have?
Right Triangle is a triangle with one right
b. What are the parts of the triangle?
angle.
The parts of the right triangle are:
From that, we will be able to
understand our topic which is the 1. Longer Leg
Right Triangle Similarity Theorem.
2. Shorter Leg
Altogether, please read.
3. Hypotenuse
4. Altitude
Take a look at this picture.
What is the name of the given Right Triangle Similarity Theorem: If the
triangle? altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a
What is the altitude? right triangle, then the two triangles formed
are similar to the original triangle and to
What are the right triangles being each other.
formed after having the altitude?
What is the similarity correspondence
if you are going to focus on Right
Triangle Similarity Theorem?
Since we already familiar with the
parts of the given right triangle. Let’s
proceed with the Geometric Means
Theorem.
I want you to take note because after
that we will be answering questions.
The ∆ACB
The altitude of the given triangle is CD.
(The teacher will play a video)
What is Geometric Means Theorem?
The ∆ADC and ∆CDB
What is the Altitude Rule?
∆ACB ~ ∆ADC ~ ∆CDB
What is the Leg Rule?
Geometric Means Theorem: In a right
triangle, the altitude from the right angle to
the hypotenuse divides the hypotenuse in
two segments.
Altitude Rule: The length of the altitude is
the geometric mean of the lengths of the
two segments.
Leg Rule: The length of each leg of the
right triangles is the geometric mean of the
lengths of the hypotenuse and the segment
of the hypotenuse adjacent to the leg.
4. Abstraction
Let’s strengthen your knowledge.
Refer to the diagram, identify the
proportion applying the:
a. Altitude Rule
b. Leg Rule (for shorter leg and longer
leg)
I will call students to answer.
(The teacher will call at least three (3)
students)
Very good, class! With that I have a
question to you.
Answer Key:
UE TE
1. Altitude Rule: =
CE UE
UC CT
2. Leg Rule: = (Shorter Leg)
CE UC
UT TC
= (Larger Leg)
TE UT
5. Application
As student, how do you budget your
money?
Do you think by budgeting you were (Answer may vary)
able to equally divide your money?
Yes, Sir!
Imagine that the budgeting is the
altitude that is being drawn from a
larger triangle. From that budgeting
you were able to assess what should
be saved and used for expenses. And
with this we can be able to ensure that
we have a balance or equal
distribution of our money.
6. Evaluation
