I. PRELIMINARY ACTIVITIES
1. Greetings
Good morning, Grade 4!
Good morning teacher.

How are you, today? We’re good teacher.

Did you have your breakfast? Yes, teacher.

Very good!

2. Prayer
Ok, kindly stand - up and let us pray.
May I ask Bejay to go in front and lead the
prayer? Ok, teacher.
Close your eyes and bow your head.
Dear God,
Thank you for bringing us here today.
Guide us to learn and guide our teacher to
teach. Help us to understand our lesson
and bless us all. AMEN.

AMEN.
Ok, teacher.
3. Checking of attendance
Now, let me check your attendance. Present teacher.
If you heard your name just say “Present”, ok?
 Present teacher.

Jerome Present teacher.

Hanna

Prince We don’t know teacher.

So, some of you are absent.

Why they are absent?

Ok. Let’s take note of that. (The students are listening)

4. Classroom Rules
Before we go on to our topic for today, let’s
review our Classroom Rules.

1. Come on time.
2. Eyes on the board
3. Listens when others talk. Yes, teacher.
4. Raise your hand to speak.
5. Follow Directions.

II. MOTIVATIONAL ACTIVITY

Now, are you ready to play a game?

Ok, I prepared here an activity. And it’s called

‘FIX ME, GUESS ME!”.

Instructions:
1. I will present a box, containing a jumbled
letters.
2. All you have to do is arrange it to create a (Students Participate)
word.
3. For fair play, I have a dice here. I will roll
the dice and count the number that stops. For
example, if it stops for #5 then we will start
counting here in front until we reach the fifth
person.
4. After that, the fifth person will answer here
in front.
5. And we will repeat the same process, but
we will start the counting from the person after
the one who answered last time.

Did you enjoy the game, class?
Yes teacher.
Very good! So we now move on to our discussion.

III. LESSON PROPER

So, our lesson is all about

QUADRILATERAL.

Can everyone say ‘Quadrilaterals’?

Quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides and four Quadrilaterals!

angles.
“Quadrilateral” came from Latin words which means
a variant at “four” and latus which mean “sides”.

So, whenever you hear ‘quadrilateral’, always

remember: it has four sides and four corners.

Let's explore the different Types of Quadrilaterals.

(Student’s Listening)
I will show you pictures and models of different
quadrilaterals. As we go through each one, I want
you to observe their properties and think about
where you might see these shapes in real life.

The first one is Square.

It has four equal sides and four right angles (each

angle is 90 degrees).

Can anyone think of an object that is shaped like a

square?

Yes, that’s right! Those things are great examples.

Next, let’s talk about the Rectangle. Window, chessboard, tiles, sticky notes
teacher.

A rectangle also has four right angles. But the

difference is, only the opposite sides are equal. The
longer sides are the same, and the shorter sides
are the same.

This book is a rectangle! The top and bottom are

the same length, and the left and right sides are the
same. But the longer side is not equal to the shorter
one.

Who can give an example of a rectangle?

Great! Those are perfect examples.

The door, teacher!
Now let’s learn about the Rhombus.
Our TV at home, teacher!

A rhombus has four equal sides, like a square, but

its angles are not all 90 degrees. The shape looks
like a diamond.

Do you see a shape like this outside or at home?

Yes, very good!

Next one is Parallelogram. Yes teacher! Like in my mother’s ring

teacher.

A parallelogram also has opposite sides that are

equal and parallel. But like the rhombus, its corners
may be slanted and not 90 degrees.

Who can give an example of a parallelogram?

Great! Those are perfect examples.

The next one is a Trapezoid. Fence teacher.

Eraser teacher!

A trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides. The

other two sides are not parallel.

So, can anyone guess where in this lamp shaped

like a trapezoid?
Yes, very good!

Will you give other objects that shaped like a

trapezoid? Student will show where the trapezoid in
the image of the lamp.

Very good! Those objects are shaped like a

trapezoid! Paper bag teacher.

And the last one is the Kite. Popcorn bag teacher.

A kite has two pairs of equal sides, and those sides

are next to each other—we call them adjacent
sides. A kite also has one pair of equal angles. That
means only one pair of corners are the same size.

Imagine the toy kite you fly outside.

The top two sides are equal, and the bottom two
sides are equal too. But the left and right sides are
not equal to each other.

Do you understand, class?

So, that’s the 6 Types of Quadrilaterals.

Always remember that, some quadrilaterals have

sides which are equal while some do not. Still
others have sides which are parallel, while some
have sides which are perpendicular. Yes teacher!

F. GENERALIZATION
Do you have a question, class?
None? Okay, I have questions.

If you really understand, what is Quadrilateral?

Yes, Irene?

Very good, Let’s give her a very good Clap.

Student raises her/his hand.
Next question, give me the types of the
quadrilateral.
QUADRILATERAL is a polygon with four
Yes, Princess. sides.

Very good, Let’s give her a Very Good clap.

Rectangle, Square, Rhombus, Trapezoid,

G. APPLICATION Parallelogram and Kite teacher.
Okay class, now that you understand our lesson
today. We are now going to play a fun, active game
called ‘Shape Hunt Relay!’

Are you excited?

Great! This game will test how well you know the
quadrilaterals — square, rectangle, rhombus,
parallelogram, trapezoid, and kite!

Mechanics of the Game:

1. Group Division: Yes teacher!
 The class will be divided into 6 groups (5-6
members each). Each group will be
assigned a team name based on a
quadrilateral (e.g., Team Rectangle, Team
Kite, etc.).

2. Shape Cards
 You will have 6 envelopes, each
containing: (Student’s listen.)
 A clue card (e.g., “I have 4 sides, all equal,
but not all right angles!”)
 A task card (e.g., “Find and draw or write
the name of an object in the classroom that
has this shape.”)

3. Relay Style:
 One member from each team picks a clue
card from the teacher.
 That member runs back to the team, reads
the clue aloud.
 The team discusses and sends another
member to find or identify an object that
matches the clue (e.g., book = rectangle).
 Once the object is found or described
correctly, the group earns a point and the
next member picks the next card.

Time Limit: 15 minutes.

Scoring:
 1 point per correct object and shape.
 Bonus point for explaining why it matches
the shape!

Do you understand class?

Okay then let’s start the game!

Reflection Questions (Student-Centered):

“Which shape was the easiest to find?”
“Which shape was hard to recognize in real-life
objects?”
“What did your team do well in the game?”
“How did you help your team?”
“Why is it important to know these shapes?”

Very good, class! You didn’t just sit and listen—you Yes teacher.
became shape detectives today! That’s how
learning becomes fun and exciting.

You may now take your seats, class.

(Student’s answer the reflective questions.)
