IV. Procedures
Before the lesson
Teacher’s Activity Learner’s Activity
a. Drill
Mechanics: The Teacher will ask a series of
questions on how to derive the formula in finding the
surface area of a cube.

1. What is the first step to get the surface area of a
cube?
2. How can we get the area of the square?
3. What is the second step to get the surface area of
a cube?
4. How can we get the area of the 6 sides of the
cube?
-Get the area of the square in the side of the cube.
-By using the formula S2
-Get the area of the 6 sides of the cube
-After getting the area of the square multiply it by 6 to get the
sides of the cube.
-6xS2

5. What is the formula in getting the surface of the

cube?

b. Review
Mechanics: The Teacher will present a 3D triangular
prism and the Learners will derive the formula in
getting the surface area of the triangular prism.
-Get the area of the 2 triangles in both sides
1. What is the first step to get the surface area of the
triangular prism? -1/2 x b x h
2. What is the formula in getting the area of the
triangle? -2(1/2 x b x h)

3. What will be the formula in getting the area of the

triangles in both sides of the triangular prism? -Get the area of the 3 rectangles

4. What is the second step in getting the surface area

of the triangular prism? -b x h

5. What is the formula in getting the area of a -The area of the one rectangle multiply it by 3
rectangle? 3(b x h)

6. How can we get the area of the 3 rectangle?

7. What will be the formula in getting the area of the -Combine the two formulas that we made.
3 rectangles?

8. What is the last step to get the formula in getting -2(1/2 x b x h) + 3(b x h)

area of the triangular prism?

C. Motivation

Mechanics: The teacher will present a 3D of a square

pyramid and will let ask someone in the class to name the
parts of the square pyramid.

Instruction: Name the shape or figure that can be found

in the square pyramid.

Questions
1. What kind 3D pyramid is this?
2. Where can we find this type of pyramid? From what
country?
3. How many sides does square pyramid have?
4. What is the shape of each?
5. How about the base what shape does it have?

-Triangles
-Square
-Get a formula

d. Present/ Pose a question

Mechanics: The teacher will post a question on the
board and will let the learners read the question.
Instruction: Read the question on the board.

Question
How to derive a formula in getting the surface area of a (Learners read the question)
square pyramid?

e. Make hypothesis
Mechanics: The class will be divided into 8 groups.
Each group has 5 minutes to make their own hypothesis
regarding on the question that is presented by the
teacher. After a short discussion, each group will select
their own representative to present their own hypothesis
to the class.
Instruction: You will be group into 8 groups. Each
group has 5 minutes to make their own hypothesis. After
the 5 minutes, you will select your own representative to
present the hypothesis which your group have made.
Question
How to derive a formula in getting the surface area of a
square pyramid?
-We derive the formula through getting the formula of
the lateral side to get the area of the four triangles in the
side of the square pyramid. Afterwards use the formula
of the square to get the base area of a square pyramid
and sum up the total of the two areas to get the surface
area of the square pyramid.

f. Gather data
Mechanics: The teacher will give the learners a series
of steps and questions to be answered by their group.
Afterwards, each group will be given the chance to
discuss their own answers to the class.
Instruction: Answer the following question to find out
how to derive the formula of a square pyramid.
