Learning Objectives
What are the students expected to understand/ learn from this topic. These can drive from the large concept map and should be listed at the concept level.
Teaching Outlines
Concept 1: Angles
An angle is the figure formed by two rays, called the sides of the angle, sharing a common endpoint, called the vertex of the angle. Angles formed by two rays lie in a plane, but this plane does not have to be a Euclidean plane. angles can be classified according to the size of the angle.
Activities
Introducing formation of angle
The standard angle concept based on the relative inclination of two lines meeting at a point irrespective of length of arms is discussed in an exploratory method.
Types of angles
We will learn the following types of angles: right angles, acute angles, obtuse angles, straight angles, reflex angles and complete angle.
Concept 2: Pairs of angles
In geometry, certain pairs of angles can have special relationships. Some examples are complementary angles, supplementary angles, vertical angles, alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, corresponding angles and adjacent angles.
Activities
Adjacent angles
Adjacent angles are two angles that have a common vertex and a common side. The vertex of an angle is the endpoint of the rays that form the sides of the angle.
Complementary angles
Complementary angles are two angles with a sum of 90°. A common case is when they form a right angle.
Supplementary angles
Supplementary angles are two angles with a sum of 180°. A common case is when they lie on the same side of a straight line.
Vertically opposite angles
When two straight lines intersect each other four angles are formed.The pair of angles which lie on the opposite sides of the point of intersection are vertically opposite angles.
Linear pair axiom : If a ray stands on a line, then the sum of two adjacent angles so formed is 180o
Two adjacent angles are said to be form a linear pair of angles, if their non-common arms are two opposite rays. Linear pair axiom of theorems are if a ray stands on a line , then the sum of two adjacent angles so formed is 180 degree
Linear pair axiom : If the sum of two adjacent angles is 180o, then the non-common arms of the angles form a line
Concept 3: Parallel lines
Parallel lines are lines in a plane which do not meet; that is, two lines in a plane that do not intersect or touch each other at any point are said to be parallel. By extension, a line and a plane, or two planes, in three-dimensional Euclidean space that do not share a point are said to be parallel.
