2. Understand the concept of angles in triangles: Students will be able to comprehend the relationship between the angles and sides of a triangle, specifically focusing on the sum of the interior angles and the properties of each type of triangle.

3. Apply the knowledge of angles in triangles to solve problems: Students will apply their understanding of the properties of triangles to solve mathematical problems involving triangles and their angles.

Secondary Objectives:

• Promote collaborative learning: Students will work together in pairs or small groups during the hands-on activities, promoting teamwork and collaboration.

• Enhance problem-solving skills: Through the application of their knowledge in solving mathematical problems, students will improve their critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Introduction (10 - 12 minutes)

The teacher will begin by reminding the students of the basic concepts related to angles, such as what they are, how to measure them, and the different types of angles (right, obtuse, and acute). They will also recap the concept of the sum of the angles in a triangle, which was previously learned in a prior lesson.

The teacher will then present two problem situations that serve as starters for the development of the theory:

1. Problem 1: The teacher will draw a triangle on the board and ask the students, "If we know that one of the angles in this triangle is 45 degrees, can we determine the measures of the other two angles? How?" This problem will serve as a starting point to discuss the sum of the angles in a triangle.

2. Problem 2: The teacher will draw an equilateral triangle and ask, "What can we say about the measures of the angles in this triangle? Can we generalize this for all equilateral triangles?" This problem will lead into the discussion about the properties of different types of triangles.

The teacher will then contextualize the importance of understanding angles in triangles. They will explain how these concepts are used in various fields such as architecture, engineering, and even in everyday life situations like constructing furniture or designing computer graphics.

To introduce the topic in an engaging manner, the teacher will:

1. Curiosity 1: Share the fact that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees, regardless of the type of triangle. They will ask the students to think about why this might be the case, sparking their curiosity and setting the stage for the development of the theory.

2. Curiosity 2: Show a picture of the Great Pyramid of Giza, explaining that the architects of this ancient wonder had to understand the properties of triangles and their angles to build such a complex structure. This real-world example will help students understand the practical applications of the concepts they will be learning.

By the end of the introduction, students should be curious and engaged, ready to explore the properties of angles in triangles.

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

The teacher will guide the students through hands-on activities designed to help them understand the concept of angles in triangles. These activities will provide a practical and interactive way for the students to explore and internalize the properties of triangles and their angles.

Activity 1: Triangle Angle Sum Investigation - The Great Triangle Mystery

1. The teacher will divide the class into small groups of 3-4 students and provide each group with a set of materials, including 3 long identical straws, scissors, tape, and a protractor.

2. The teacher will then explain the objective of the activity: Each group will have to build a triangle using their straws and tape. The lengths of the sides can vary, but each angle should be acute, obtuse, or right.

3. Once they have constructed their triangles, the students will then use the protractors to measure the angles of their triangles and record the measurements.

4. Next, the teacher will instruct the groups to cut off the triangle's angles and tape them together to create a straight line.

5. After this step, the students will again use the protractors to measure the superimposed angles and record the measurements.

6. Finally, the teacher will lead a class discussion asking the students what they observed. The students should notice that the sum of the superimposed angles is 180 degrees, regardless of the type of triangle they constructed. This will help them understand the concept of the sum of the angles in a triangle.

Activity 2: Triangle Artwork - A Creative Exploration of Angle Relationships

1. For the second hands-on activity, the teacher will again divide the class into small groups and provide each group with a large piece of paper, a pencil, and a protractor.

2. The teacher will explain that the students' task is to create an artwork consisting only of different types of triangles. Each group member will be responsible for drawing a certain number of triangles.

3. After each triangle is drawn, the students will measure and record the angles of the triangle using their protractors.

4. At the end of the activity, the groups will swap their artworks with another group. The new group's task is to identify the type of each triangle based on the recorded angles.

5. This activity will reinforce the understanding of the different types of triangles and their angle properties in a fun and creative way.

6. The teacher will facilitate a class discussion, asking the students to share the different types of triangles they found in the artwork, and to explain how they identified the types based on the angles.

At the end of the development stage, the students should have a thorough understanding of the concept of angles in triangles and their properties. They should also have practiced their skills in measuring angles and working collaboratively in a group.
