LESSON PLAN

IN MATHEMATICS III

I. Objective
Recognize a point, a line, a line segment and a ray.

II. Subject Matter

Topic: Recognizing a point, line, line segment and ray.
Materials: Bondpaper, Cartoolina, Construction Paper, Pentelpen, Chart and Flash Cards
with different figures (point, line, line segment, and ray).

Value Focus: Creativity

III. Procedure
A. Drill
Ask pupils to do the “What’s in the box?” challenge. Let them identify the objects
and describe the shape.

B. Review
Have the pupils do the crossword puzzle.
1. rectangle - a shape that has two pairs of parallel lines.
2. circles - a perfectly round shape and has no sides.
3. triangle - a shape that has three sides.
4. square - a shape that has four equal sides.

C. Lesson Proper
1. Motivation
Let the pupils recite the given poem.

’’Points and lines’’

Points and lines

What does the poem tell?

Where do figures come from as described in the poem?
Today, we are going to study about points, lines, line segments and rays.

2. Presentation of the Lesson

1. Present the illustration

D V
 David and Vince are playing darts. Look at where their darts landed.
What did David and Vince name the place where their darts landed?
How will you describe the figure where the darts landed?
How many points were marked?
If you play darts, what would you like to name your point?
How are points named?

The points are named point D and point V ( D , V)

A point is represented by a dot. It can be identified with a letter or a number.

Look at this illustration.

2. A B C

What have you noticed from point A to point C?

There are arrowheads on both sides.
This figure is called a line. It has arrowheads and it extends on both directions
indefinitely or forever.

We name this figure as AC or Line AC.

Look at this example.

3. A B C
1 2
Take a part of line AC.
What do you call this figure?
B C
This figure is called a ray. It has one endpoint and an arrowhead which extend
indefinitely to one direction. An endpoint is a point on a line segment or ray that
defines its stopping point.

We name this figure as BC or ray BC.

Look at this picture.
4. H O P E

Look at the part of the line from point O to point P.

This part is called a line segment. It has two endpoints and it can never be
extended on both directions. We name it as line segment OP or write it as OP.

REINFORMENT ACTIVITY
Name the different figures that are being asked on each item.

1. Lines ( LE , OV ) L V

O E

2. Rays ( CU, CE, CT )

 3. Generalizaton

Guide the pupils to give the following generalization by asking: What is a point?
A ray? A line? A line segment?
A point is represented by a dot. It can be identified with a letter or a number.
A ray has one endpoint and an arrowhead which extend indefinitely to one
direction.
A line has arrowheads and it extends on both directions indefinitely or forever.
A line segment has two endpoints and it can never be extended on both
directions.

4. Application
Group the pupils according to their rows and have them answer the following
based on the given figure.

P L A Y
v
1. Points ( P , L, A, Y)
v v v v
2. Lines ( PY )
3. Segments ( LA )
4. Rays ( LY , AY , AP , LP )

IV. Evaluation
Choose the letter of the correct answer.
1. A dot represents a _____.
a. line
b. ray
c. point
d. line segment

2. This symbol represents a ____ and extends in both directions indefinitely.

a. point
b. line
c. ray
d. dot
 3. Which of the following symbols represents a line segment?
a.
b.
c.
d.

4. This symbol represents a ______.

a. segment
b. ray
c. line
d. point

V. Assignment
Name the points, line, rays and line segments in the figure
