Process (How to do the activity)
- The teacher can use this geogebra file and ask the questions listed below.
- Developmental Questions;
- What type of triangle is this ? Why ?
- Identify the three angles.
- What is an angle bisector ?
- Identify the point of concurrence of angle bisectors ?
- This point, called incentre of the triangle does its position change with the type of triangle ?
- Identify the circle. What is its radius ? What can this radius be called ?
- What is this circle called ?
- Evaluation:
- What is incentre, inradius and incircle ?
- Question Corner:
- What do you think would be the practical applications of the incentre and incircle ?
