Second part of the project (finding Unknown Angles)

Topic: Finding Unknown angles

Key Vocabulary: 1. Supplementary Angles : Two Angles are Supplementary when they add up to 180 degrees.

2. Complementary angles: Two Angles are Complementary when they add up to 90 degrees (a Right Angle).

3. Vertical angles: Vertical Angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines cross. They are always equal.

4. Adjacent Angles: Two Angles are Adjacent when they have a common side and a common vertex (corner point), and don’t overlap.

Prior Knowledge: Students should already have a clear idea about ( Acute, Obtuse, Reflex) angles and their measurement. In addition, they should also have had clear idea about the parts of a angle such as  (The corner point of an angle is called the vertex) and ( the two straight sides are called arms) and how to give the angle a name, such as ABC or CBD

Topic : Congruence

Learning Objective: Proving Triangles Congruent.

  1. Students will be able to prove triangles are congruent using ASA, SAS, and SS.
  2. Students will be able to prove triangles are congruent using definitions of midpoint and bisector.
  3. Student will be able to write basic formal proofs of triangle congruence.

Common Core State Standard High School G-CO.8

Understand congruence in terms of rigid motions

  1. Use geometric descriptions of rigid motions to transform figures and to predict the effect of a given rigid motion on a given figure; given two figures, use the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions to decide if they are congruent.
  2. Use the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions to show that two triangles are congruent if and only if corresponding pairs of sides and corresponding pairs of angles are congruent.
  3. Explain how the criteria for triangle congruence (ASA, SAS, and SSS) follow from the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions.

CCSS Standards: 8.G.5

Use informal arguments to establish facts about the angle sum and exterior angle of triangles, about the angles created when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and the angle-angle criterion for similarity of triangles.

Instructional resources and materials: smart board and computer with Geogebra.

key vocabulary: exterior angle, interior angle.

prior knowledge:

Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software.

  1. Use informal arguments to establish facts about the angle sum and exterior angle of triangles, about the angles created when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and the angle-angle criterion for similarity of triangles. For example, arrange three copies of the same triangle so that the sum of the three angles appears to form a line, and give an argument in terms of transversals why this is so.

Mini Lesson (20 – 25 mins): Describe all theorems and postulates with examples.

Activity (20 – 25 mins): Worksheet with problems progressing from easy to difficult that requires students to solve for the unknown angles when parallel lines are cut by a transversal. Students must give reasoning behind why they can say the value is equal to what they say it is (identify Theorems and Postulates present).
