Lesson Development Plan:

Step Contents Teaching and Learning Activity Teaching Aids

Fix a kite on

board

(5 minutes)

Ask 1 student to come on board to

fix the bamboo sticks

Ask students what shape this is.

Ask students whether all sides are

of the same length visually

Since all sides are not similar, this is

called a kite. Also, there are 2 pairs

of equal adjacent sides

Teaching aids:

whiteboard, markers,

bamboo sticks

Area of kite

(15 minutes)

Make students visualise that there

are 2 triangles by joining the

vertices

Since there are 2 triangles are formed

when joining the vertices, the area of

the kite will be the sum of the areas

of the 2 triangles

Derive the formula for the kite

Give a classwork

Teaching aids:

whiteboard, markers,

book

Area of

rhombus

(10 minutes)

Make students visualise that the

rhombus is a parallelogram

Using their previous knowledge of

parallelogram, the area of a rhombus

will be the same as area of

parallelogram

Give classwork from book

Teaching aids:

whiteboard, markers

Walking around to

see if students can

work questions

Conversion

of units

(10 minutes)

Basic conversion of metre to

centimetre

Ask students what is the conversion

from metre to centimeter

For 1m2=1m x 1m

Teaching aids:

whiteboard, markers
