IV. PROCEDURES
This activity will present previous lesson that will help the students to familiarize with the
A. Reviewing Previous Lesson/Presenting New Lesson concept in similarities and theorems in right triangle as we go through the lesson.
Activity 1: Quiz Bee
Mechanics:
1. Every group is provided with a slate board for your group to write the final answer.
2. If a question is multiple-choice, just write the letter corresponding your answer,
otherwise, if a question is NOT a multiple choice then you are required to supply the
answer as asked.
3. Be sure to write your answer legibly and clearly. Any unreadable answer is considered
NULL and VOID.
4. The QUIZ BEE is divided into 4 parts with corresponding point system:
EASY -1 POINT
AVERAGE -2 POINTS
DIFFICULT -3 POINTS
CLINCHER -4 POINTS
5. Every question has its own time allotment which will be displayed on top of each
question.
6. Once TIME’s UP is displayed, all slate boards should be raised otherwise answer is void.
Questions:
6. A ladder 8 m long rests against a vertical wall so that the distance between the bottom of
the ladder and the wall is 4 m. Find the angle that the ladder
makes with the ground.
B. Establishing a Purpose for the lesson This activity will present related situation which can be a representation of the topic.
Activity 2.
Follow the steps below and answer the questions that follow.
Questions:
C. Presenting Examples/ instances of the new lesson This activity will guide the students to use clinometer in measuring the angle from the horizontal
line of sight of the observer to the objects above and below.
Activity 3.
Follow the steps below and answer the questions that follow.
With the use of measuring tape, measure the distance between the foot and eyes of the
observer. Record your findings.
Go to flagpole, with the use of measuring tape, measure the distance of the pole from the
observer. Record your findings.
With the use of clinometer, measure the angle from the horizontal line of sight to the top
of the flapole. Record your findings.
Draw and illustrate your work on a separate sheet.
Questions:
1. How did you find the activity?
2. From the data you gathered, can you directly measure the height of the flagpole? Why?
Why not?
3. Estimate the possible height of the flagpole from the ground. ( The group who has the
estimated measurement closest to its real height will receive a reward.
The teacher will introduce the concepts of angles of elevation and depression and illustrate the
use of clinometer to measure the angle of elevation of depression.
Line of Sight is an imaginary line that connects the eye of an observer to the objects being listed.
D. Discussing new concepts and practicing skills #1 The angle of elevation is the angle from the horizontal line of sight of the observer to the objects
above.
The angle of depression is the angle from the horizontal to the line of sight of the observer to the
objects below.
Discuss the process of solving rproblems involving angles of elevation and depression.
Example:
1. A tower is 15 m high. At a certain distance away from the tower, an observer determines
that the angle of elevation to the top of it is 41 ° . How far is the observer from the base of
the tower?
E. Discussing new concepts and practicing skills #2 Answer: 17.26 m
2. An airplane is flying at a height of 4 km above the ground. The distance along the ground
from the airplane to the airport is 6 kms. What is the angle of depression from the
airplane to the airport?
Answer: 33.69°
F. Developing mastery (leads to formative assessment) This activity focuses on students ability to exercise what the students learned about the six
trigonometric ratios.
The students will use the concept of angle of elevation and depression in solving practical real
life situation.
Activity 5: Trowback
Mechanics: Music will be played and the students will pass an apple from one student to another.
When the music stops, the person holding the apple will pick a question to be answered briefly.
H. Making generalizations and abstractions about the
1. When you look at the object below your horizontal line of sight, you are forming an
lesson
angle of ____________.
2. When you look at the object above your horizontal line of sight, you are forming an angle
of ____________.
3. What ratio will you use to get the height of the object if the given are the angle of
elevation and the distance of the observer from the base of the object.
