Lesson 1 – The Foundations of Shapes and Figures
At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- represent point, line, and plane using concrete and pictorial models;
- identify objects that represent point, line, and place such as paper, rope, farmland, wall, ceiling, etc.;
- illustrate subsets of a line; and
- determine the conditions under which lines and segments are parallel or perpendicular.
Lesson 2 – How open is it?
At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- illustrate an angle;
- draw different types of angles found in the objects used in daily life, e.g., right angles, acute angles, obtuse angles; and
- measure angles found in geometric shapes using a protractor.
Lesson 3 – Watch your steep
At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- illustrate polygons: (a) convexity, (b) angles, and (c) sides;
- solve problems involving sides and angles of a polygon; and
- apply the principles of geometric shapes in daily life situations.
