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

Objectives

Introduce children to linear pair of angles

Process (How to do the activity)

Prior hands on activity
Start with coinciding point C with the point B
What is the angle formed by the line
Move point C above and slowly rotate around point 0
How many angles do you notice
Name the angles formed : what are their measure
Do the two angles together form a 180^o angle
Do the two angles form a linear pair
Record the values of the two angles for various positions of point C

Sl No.	∠BOA	∠BOC	∠COA	∠BOC + ∠COA	Dothe angles form a linear pair
.
