III. Procedure

A. Pre – activities

Class, let’s first sing our Math Jingle altogether!

1. Drill

Class, kindly look at your chairs, I have posted some strips of papers on it containing places. If you got one kindly stand! (then the teacher will show the map of

the Philippines and that is for pupils to point out where those places are located using strings and pins).

2. MotivationClass, who among you here had already played the very famous game “Angry Birds”from the computer?

Have you enjoyed playing this game?

What made you enjoyed the game?

Class, let me ask you? Do you know the story behind that game “ Angry Birds”?

Okay, for us to understandthe story, here is a presentation(role playing to be presented by some selected pupils) of what the

story all about. But before we start, what are the standards or rules to follow in listening a story and observing a presentation?

Very Good! So you should follow those standards!

(the teacher will tell the story as the role playing is being presented were pupils can visualize what the story all about giving emphasis of the use of “compass” and the “map” as the spring board of the lesson)

(PLACES: Chocolate hills, Borongan, and Metro Manila).

(selected pupils should be able to point out the places from the map using strings and pins).

Yes Sir!

(different answers)

(varied answers)

Sir, listen attentively to the teacher- Set properly- Do not do anything not

related to the lesson and etc.

Here’s the story:

(some selected pupils will perform the presentation-role playing giving focus of the use of compass and the map)

Once upon a time, their lived a friendly birds in the city named:

the red bird- red eagle/mother bird 

the blue bird- puppy 

the yellow bird-scanler 

the black bird-sarge

the white bird-heroine 

and to make the story short, the mother bird’s eggs are stolen by the green pigs so the birds are angry now and want to take revenge by destroying the pigs in their fortified castles and for mother bird to find her eggs. Mother bird decided to use gadgets from the castle city which is called the “Egg Compass” and the “Egg Map”, so she is very much lucky that she has the egg compass and the egg map that will help her to find her eggs that were stolen by the green pigs but until now she and her friends wasn’t able to find her eggs yet.

B. Developmental Activities

1. Presentation

Class, who are again the characters in the story?

Very good!

Who had stolen mother bird’s egg?

That’s right!

Class, based on the story (presentation), what object did mother bird use in finding her eggs?

Yes that’s right!

Now class, where do we use that compass? What is it for?

(the teacher will show the Compass/real object)

Very good! What a brilliant idea!

Class, the story that we had about angry birds, this compass, this map has something to do with our lesson for today. And today we are going to discuss all about “Locating the position of places using primary and secondary directions in relation to a certain point of reference”

Okay class, let us read altogether our lesson for today!

Sir, the characters in the story are Mother bird, Puppy, Scanler, Sarge, Heroine and the Green pigs!

Sir, the green pigs had stolen mother bird’s egg!

Sir, mother bird uses the compass and the map in finding her eggs!

Sir, we use compass to locate directions and we use map in finding places!

(pupils will read altogether the lesson: “Locating the position of places using primary and secondary directions in relation to a certain point of reference”

2. Discussion and Analysis

Class, you have said a while ago that this compass is used to locate directions isn’t it?

And that is right, now everybody take a look at the compass, what can you see on the compass?

Very Good! What else?

Yes, that’s right! So what are the letters?

Very Good!

Class, what do you think these 4 letters stands for? (the pupils will generate ideas based on their background knowledge/experience)

Very Good! What a brilliant idea!

Class, what word can you form from these letters?

Your correct!

Class, do you know that this word “NEWS” that give us information come from these letters or it was originated here in these directions?

And in ancient time, the early man don’t have yet the compass or gadgets that tells or give information on direction and time…what they are using is on the movement of the sun and stars that tells them what is the time, date and where to go.

So class, what do we call these North, East, West and South?

Very Good! They are directions and we called them primary directions.

Now, look at this compass, what letters are added?

Yes Sir!

Sir their is an arrow on the compass!

Sir, there are 4 letters on the compass!

Sir, we have letters , N, E, S, and W!

Sir, letter N stands for North, letter E stands for East, letter W stands for West and S stands for South!

Sir, NEWS!

Sir, they are directions!

Very Good!

Are they also directions class?

That’s right!

What do you think these two letters stands for? Let’s starts first with NE (NORTHEAST)…and so on.

And we called them Secondary Directions!

Everybody read:

Northeast, Northwest, Southeast and Southwest!

Class, as we go on with our discussion we will able to know why do we call them secondary directions.

Now class, everybody look at this diagram! (from the computer) what is this diagram?

Study the Community Map.

Sir, we have NE, SE, NW, SW!

Yes Sir!

(the pupils will give the answers)

Yes! That’s right!

Now, study the community map!

Class, where is the park located/what is the center of the community?

Very Good! The park is the center of the community and we call it the point of reference!

Say it again class! “the park is the point of reference!”

Now, let’s have a short exercise!

Let’s try to answer the following questions:

1. Where is the park?2. Where is the municipal

building?3. What is the center of the

community?4. Where do you find the

school?5. Where do you find the public

library?6. What do you find at the

northeast corner?7. What do you find at the

southwest corner?8. Where is the house located?9. From my house, if I want to

practice at the dance studio, where will I go?

Very Good! All your answers are correct!

Everybody let’s do the Yes Clap!

(afterwards, the teacher will give an additional information about the topic and show how to use the compass properly)

Sir, that diagram shows a community map!

Sir, at the center! (the park)

(pupils will response)

(the pupils will answer the questions)

3. Fixing Skills/Guided Practice

(through a game, “Egg Hunting” Similar to the popular game “Angry Birds”)

Group Activity

Class, a while ago you have known what was the true story of the game angry birds and until now mother bird and her friends weren’t able yet to find mother bird’s eggs. I think we can help mother bird in finding her eggs and we will do the “Egg Hunting Activity” so we will play the game “angry birds”, we will try to help mother bird in finding her eggs.

But before we start, what are the standards or rules to follow in conducting a group activity?

Very good! So, you should follow those standards!

And we also have the rubrics that will rate your outputs!

Sir, cooperate!

-do not do anything not related to the activity.

-try your best to give an answer or an idea.

-be responsible

(the teacher will divide the class into 4 groups, each group will be given the “hats”-a costume hats of the characters of the angry birds were they are going to wear it for identification of what group are they)

Groupings (based on the characters of angry birds)

Group 1- Scauler Group

Group 2- Sarge Group

Group 3- Puppy Group

Group4- Heroine Group

(Each group will be given their respective tasks using an activity sheets, including the incomplete map of the school campus of ESDPES which the pupils needs to be completed as how puzzle map works. There will also be stations of each activity where clues and materials are present that will made their task completed)

the first group to finished, have the complete puzzle map and were able to find and bring the egg inside the room and have the exact

time allotment will be the winner and received a price from the teacher!

(Reporting and Analysis of the Group Outputs)

4. Generalization

Class, based on our discussion and on the activity that we had, what are again the primary directions?

Very good!

Sir, the primary directions are North, East, South and West!

How about the secondary directions?

Yes, all your answers are correct!

And what is the use of compass? How about the map?

What an excellent idea!

5. Valuing

Class let me ask you, is it necessary for us to know and follow the right directions?

C. Post – Activity

1. Application ( through a game)

(INSTRUCTION)(This is called “Mathalino, Mathinik Game” (the same groupings) Each group will arrange the given primary and secondary directions written on a circle shape colored papers based on the place identified and from the diagram shown. The group who could do it fast and correctly will be the winner!)

Shown in the diagram is a school map

Sir, the secondary directions are Northeast, Northwest, Southeast and Southwest!

Sir, a compass is used to locate directions! And a map is used to locate places!

(the pupils should be able to explain the question very well)
