| + | * Estimated Time: 40 minutes |
| + | * Materials/ Resources needed: Laptop, geogebra file, projector and a pointer. |
| + | * Prerequisites/Instructions, if any: |
| + | # The students should know a triangle and its basic elements. |
| + | # They should know interior and exterior angles of a triangle. |
| + | # They should know that sum of angles along a straight line is 180 degrees. |
| + | * Multimedia resources: Laptop |
| + | * Website interactives/ links/ Geogebra Applets: |
| + | * Process (How to do the activity): |
| + | # The teacher can move the 'explain slider' to show how the sum of opposite interior angles equals to external angle. |
| + | * Developmental Questions (What discussion questions): |
| + | # Identify the interior angles of this triangle. |
| + | # What are exterior angles ? |
| + | # Name the exterior angle from the figure. |
| + | # Name its two opposite interior angles. |
| + | # What is the measure of the marked exterior angle? |
| + | # What is the sum of two opposite interior angles? |
| + | # What can you infer ? |
| + | * Evaluation : |
| + | # Reason out as to why external angle is equal to sum of opposite interior angles of a triangle. |
| + | * Question Corner: |
| + | # Try to prove external angle theorem using linear pair concept and angle sum property of a triangle |
