III. Instructional Strategies:

A. Preparatory Activities 1. Prayer 2. Greetings 3. Checking of attendance

B. Developmental Activities

Teacher’s Activities

1. Review and Motivation. The class will be divided into four groups. Each group will be provided with a jigsaw puzzle (the puzzles are shown at the last page of this lesson plan). After they formed the puzzle they will found several illustrations of polygons (from triangle to octagon). They need to identify each polygon and they need to recall the sum of the interior angles of a triangle. They will be provided with a magic pen that will help them to decode the hidden message at the back of the puzzle. The hidden message will lead to a new activity that will launch the lesson for the day.

2. Lesson Proper After they found the device they will find out the following instruction: 1. Count the number of sides of each polygon. 2. Draw all the possible diagonals that can be formed from one vertex of the polygon to another vertex of that same polygon. 3. Count the number of triangles that can be formed after drawing all the diagonals. 4. Using a protractor, find the sum of all the measurement of the interior angles of each polygon. 5. Record your data on the chart that will be given to you by the teacher. (the example of the chart is shown at the last page of this lesson plan)

Student’s Activities

All of the group will post there chart on the board.

Can you please compare the number of triangles formed by the diagonals with the number of sides of the polygon? What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle?

What can you say about the sum of the interior angles of a triangle and a quadrilateral? How about a quadrilateral and a pentagon?

How can you relate the sum of the interior angles of each polygon with respect to the number of triangles that can be formed by the diagonals?

C. Generalization How can we obtain the number of triangles that can be formed by an n-sided polygon or n-gon? What is the sum of the interior angles of an n-gon?

How can we identify the number of sides of a polygon if the only given information is about the sum of the interior angles of that polygon?

The number of triangles formed is two (2) less than the number of sides of the polygon.

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is equal to 1800.

The difference between the sum of the interior angles of a triangle and a quadrilateral is equal to 1800.
The difference between the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral and a pentagon is equal to 1800.

The quotient between the sum of the interior angles of each polygon and the number of triangles formed is equal to 1800.

The number of triangles can be formed with an n-gon is two less than the number of sides of polygon or n-2. The sum of the interior angles of an n-gon is equal to the product of the number of triangles formed and 1800 or (n-2)1800 We can identify the number of sides of a polygon if we have the sum of the interior angles. Solve for the quotient of the given sum of interior angles and 1800. Just add two (2) to the quotient. In mathematical symbol we have this as: Sum of the interior angles180°+2

4. Application

Look for a partner. It can be your seatmate or anyone from the class, seat beside each other. There will be two worksheets; you must see to it that you are holding different worksheet. For those who are holding the worksheet 1 you will act as the first doer then those who are holding worksheet 2 you will act as the helper. The doer will answer the question and the helper will be the one to check the answer of the doer. If the doer has a question, the helper must answer it and the helper must guide the doer in answering. After the doer answered the first question, you will switch role. Remember that you are going to switch role after each question. Please see to it that your partner do not see the solutions that is also provided in you worksheet, you can fold the worksheet if you want. You can start doing the activity.

Worksheet 1 Worksheet A | Answer to Worksheet B | 1. What is the sum of the measurement of the interior angles of a Dodecagon? | 1. Using the formula to get for the no. of sides of a polygon: Sum ofinterior angles180° +2 5580°180°+2 24+2 33 The polygon has 33 sides | 2. How many side does a polygon has if the sum of the measurement of all its interior angles is equal to 43200? | 2. Using the formula: (n-2)1800 For decagon: (10-2) 1800 (8) 1800 14400 For quadrilateral: (4-2) 1800 (2) 1800 3600 So, 14400 – 3600= 10800 10800 is the difference. | 3. Get the difference between the sum of interior angles of an octagon and a pentagon. | 3. Pentadecagon has 15 sides. Using the formula: (n-2)1800 (15-2) 1800 (13) 1800 23400 The sum of the interior angles of a pentadecagon is equal to 23400 |

Worksheet 2 Worksheet B | Answer to Worksheet A | 1. How many side does a polygon has if the sum of the measurement of all its interior angles is equal to 55800? | 1. Dodecagon has 12 sides. Using the formula: (n-2)1800 (12-2) 1800 (10) 1800 18000 The sum of the interior angles of a dodecagon is 18000 | 2. Get the difference between the sum of interior angles of a decagon and a heptagon. | 2. Using the formula to get for the no. of sides of a polygon: Sum ofinterior angles180° +2 4320°180°+2 24+2 26 The polygon has 26 sides | 3. What is the sum of the measurement of the interior angles of a pentadecagon? | 3. Using the formula: (n-2)1800 For pentagon: (5-2) 1800 (3) 1800 5400 For Octagon: (8-2) 1800 (6) 1800 10800 So, 10800 – 5400= 5400 5400 is the difference. |

5. Evaluation On a one-half sheet of paper, answer the following. I. Find the sum of all the interior angles of the following: 1. Triskaidecagon (13 sides) 2. Hexakaidecagon (16 sides) 3. Enneadecagon (19 sides) 4. Hectagon (100 sides) 5. Chiliagon (1000 sides) II. Find the number of sides of a polygon based on the following given sum of the interior angles. 1. 27000 2. 34200 3. 54000 4. 70200 5. 93600

Key to correction: I. II. 1. 19800 1. 17 sides 2. 25200 2. 21 sides 3. 30600 3. 32 sides 4. 176400 4. 41 sides 5. 1796400 5. 54 sides

Attachments: After the students solve the puzzle, the puzzle will look like this: Note: All groups have the same set of puzzle.

The chart that will be used by the students in doing the activity: Polygon | Number of Sides | Number of Triangles | Sum of the measure of interior angles | triangle | | | | quadrilateral | | | | pentagon | | | | hexagon | | | | heptagon | | | | octagon | | | |

At the macro level, these are data on gross national product and shares of agriculture, manufacturing, and services in GDP (Gross Domestic Product). 1 At the micro level, individual firms, howsoever small or large, produce extensive statistics on their operations.

Academic Writing

...Mathematical Writing by Donald E. Knuth, Tracy Larrabee, and Paul M. Roberts This report is based on a course of the same name given at Stanford University during autumn quarter, 1987. Here’s the catalog description: CS 209. Mathematical Writing—Issues of technical writing and the effective presentation of mathematics and computer science. Preparation of theses, papers, books, and “literate” computer programs. A term paper on a topic of your choice; this paper may be used for credit in another course. The first three lectures were a “minicourse” that summarized the basics. About two hundred people attended those three sessions, which were devoted primarily to a discussion of the points in §1 of this report. An exercise (§2) and a suggested solution (§3) were also part of the minicourse. The remaining 28 lectures covered these and other issues in depth. We saw many examples of “before” and “after” from manuscripts in progress. We learned how to avoid excessive subscripts and superscripts. We discussed the documentation of algorithms, computer programs, and user manuals. We considered the process of refereeing and editing. We studied how to make effective diagrams and tables, and how to find appropriate quotations to spice up a text. Some of the material duplicated some of what would be discussed in writing classes offered by the English department, but the vast majority of the lectures were devoted to issues that are specific to mathematics and/or computer science. Guest lectures by...

...list of Frequently Used Symbols and Notation A text such as Intermediate Financial Theory is, by nature, relatively notation intensive. We have adopted a strategy to minimize the notational burden within each individual chapter at the cost of being, at times, inconsistent in our use of symbols across chapters. We list here a set of symbols regularly used with their specific meaning. At times, however, we have found it more practical to use some of the listed symbols to represent a different concept. In other instances, clarity required making the symbolic representation more precise (e.g., by being more specific as to the time dimension of an interest rate).
