A. Activating Prior DAY 1

Knowledge 1. Short Review
Round 1: Naming Polygons
The teacher shows a road sign
that is a polygon (from the
flashcards or on the screen).
Players have 10 seconds to write
down the name of the polygon
based on the number of sides and
what polygon it reminds you.
Correct answers earn 1 point.

Round 2:
The teacher shows the name of a polygon (e.g., pentagon, hexagon). Players
have 10 seconds to write down the number of sides. Correct answers earn 1
point.

number of sides, and explore their properties. Additionally, students will practice
drawing various polygons, including triangles, quadrilaterals, and polygons with
5, 6, 8, or 10 sides, using a ruler, protractor, and compass.

Naming Polygon and its Parts parts:
Tell the learners that polygons
may be named based on the
number of sides.

You may begin with the triangle;

it has three sides – the prefix –
“tri”.

A polygon is named using its vertices. The vertices are points A, B, and C. Polygons may be classified
So, the triangle may be called triangle ABC, triangle BCA, or triangle ACB. according to the number of

angles.

D. Making 1. Learners’ Takeaways

Generalizations • Can you think of real-life examples where understanding how to construct
polygons, triangles, or quadrilaterals would be beneficial?
• What are some strategies for ensuring accuracy when measuring angles and
side lengths in geometric constructions?
