MATHEMATICS 

SMASE – ASEI PDSI METHOD

THIRD TERM

WEEK 3

PRIMARY 5

TOPIC: Plane Shapes – Trapezium, Parallelogram, Kite and Rhombus

LEARNING AREA 

Lesson One – Properties of Trapezium

Lesson Two – Properties of Parallelogram

Lesson Three – Properties of Kite and Rhombus

Lesson Four – Revision

Lesson Five – Quantitative and Test

TIME – 40 Minutes each.

LEARNING OUTCOME 

By the end of the lesson, pupils should be able to:

1. state some properties of trapezium, parallelogram, kite and rhombus.

2. solve some quantitative aptitude problems involving trapezium, parallelogram, kite and rhombus.

RATIONALE

A quadrilateral is a polygon (a closed shape) with 4 sides. There are infinite quadrilaterals in real life! Any shape or object with 4 sides, even if the sides are uneven, is a quadrilateral. For example, table top, book, picture frame, door, baseball, diamond, etc.

There are a number of different types of quadrilaterals, some of which are harder to find in real life, such as a trapezoid. But, look around you – at buildings, at patterns on fabric, at jewelry – and you can find them!

In this lesson, the pupils will learn what plane shapes are and explore their different types and properties.

LEARNING MATERIALS 

The teacher will teach the lesson with the aid of:

2 and 3 dimensional shapes.

Models of trapezium, parallelogram, kite and rhombus.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE

Plane shapes are all around us. These stop signs (all traffic signs are plane shapes), a sheet of paper, a paper plate, a stamp, etc. There are many kinds of plane shapes.

In this lesson, we will focus on the following trapezium, parallelogram, kite and rhombus.
