* 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
