A DETAILED LESSON PLAN IN MATHEMATICS VI

I. Objectives: At the end of the lesson, the pupils should be able to:
A. derive aformula in finding the volume of a rectangular prism,
B. write solution in finding volumes of rectangular prisms correctly; and
C. work with unity in group activities.
II. Subject Matter: Volume of a Rectangular Prism
Reference: Amazing Math 6-p.323-326
Empowering Through Math 7 p. 154-159
Materials: Rectangular Box, Jigsaw Puzzle, Cartolina, Manila Paper, Marker and chalkboard
Value: Unity
III. Procedure:
Teacher’s Activities Pupil’s Activities
A. Preliminary Activities  Volume is the amount of space an
1. Review object contains or occupies. This is
 Class yesterday, we’ve discussed about measured by the number of cubic units
Volume. What is Volume again? or the amount of fluid it can contain.

 What are the units that indicates volume?  It is measured in: cm3 , m3 or ft3

 We have learned also about volume of a

cube. Who can give me again the formula  V= s x s x s or V= s 3
we can use to find the volume of a cube.
 I have a cube here, what would be its
Volume? Anyone of you who can solve on
the board?  V= s x s x s
 Very good! =3cm x 3cm x 3cm
2. Drill/Motivation =27cm3
 Class, have you ever played a jigsaw
puzzle?
 No/Yes ma’am
 Ok, I have 3 sets of jigsaw puzzle here,
each group will be given a set of it. Form
the puzzle as fast as you can. The fastest
who can arrange the puzzle and post on the
board is the winner of the game.
 Setting of Standards

(after 2minutes)

 What kind of figure did you form?

 Very good! What do you think is our lesson  A Rectangular Prism ma’am
for today?
 Volume of a Rectangular Prism
 Excellent! ma’am!
B. Lesson Proper
 What can you say about this Rectangular
Prism?
 The Rectangular Prism has 3
 Very good! And what are the 3 dimensions? dimensions ma’am

 Anyone of you can point out which is the

length of the figure? Width? Height?  (Selected pupils will give the 3
dimensions)
1. Length 2. Width 3. Height
 (Selected pupils will point out the 3
dimension)
  Well done!We have identified the dimensions
of the rectangular prism. What do you think is
the formula in finding the volume of a
rectangular prism?  V= l x w x h
 Very good! I have here a rectangular Prism, its
length is equal to 7cm, its width is equals to
5cm and its Height is 3cm. What would be its
volume? Lets find it out using the formula you
had given.
 Ok, what are the given values?  l=7cm w=5cm h=3cm
 After identifying the given values, what’s next?  Substitute with the formula ma’am.
 Let us now substitute the given values.
 Very good! What would be the next step?  V=7cm x 5cm x 3cm
 And what is the operation?  Perform the indicated operation.
 Very good! So, 7cm x 5cm is equal to?  Multiplication ma’am!
 And 35cm2 x 3cm is equal to?
 Very good! so the Volume of this Rectangular  35cm2 ma’am
Prism is 105cm3.
 Ok, another example. Suppose the Length of  105 cm3
this rectangular prism is 8cm; the Width is 5cm
and the Height is 2cm, what would be its
volume?
 Again, what is the first step in finding the
Volume of a rectangular prism?
 Very good! After that what is the 2nd step?  Identify the formula to use
 Alright, and what is the 3rd step?
 Very good!  Substitute the given values?

 Perform the given or indicated operation.

2cm

5cm
8cm

V= L x W x H
V= 8cm x 5 cm x 2 cm
V= 40cm x 2cm
V=80 cm3
 Well done! Did you understand our lesson for today?
C. Application (Group Activity)  Yes ma’am

 (After 5 minutes)  Group Presentation of works

D. Value Integration
 How did you find out the Activity?  Its challenging...!
 What was the word formed from the
letters of your choices?  U N I T E D!
 Are you familiar with the quote
“Divided we fall, United we stand”?  No/Yes ma’am
 During class activities or groupworks
we must always be united, help one
another so we can get a good result or
correct answer. Not only in school but
also at home, isn’t it nice to see a
family who is united?
 So what are you going to do when  Cooperate
doing group activities?  Observe Unity
E. Generalization:
 Ok, let’s sum it up! What is the
formula again in finding the Volume of  V= l x w x h
a Rectangular Prism?
 Alright! Are you ready to solve for the  Yes/No Ma’am
volume on your own?
 Any questions about solving the  None ma’am
Volume of a Rectangular Prism?
