Subject: Mathematics

Grade Level: Grade 8

Objective:
a. identified pairs of angles;
b. classified pairs of angles;
c. discussed the concept of parallelism in real life.

Learning within the curriculum:


1. Geometry: The study of shapes, sizes, and the properties of space, which
includes understanding various types of angles and their relationships. This topic
connects to the current lesson as it provides foundational knowledge for identifying
and classifying angles.
2. Trigonometry: The exploration of relationships in triangles, particularly how angles
affect the dimensions of shapes. Understanding angles and parallelism is crucial in
trigonometry, as many concepts build on the properties established in geometry.

Learning across the curriculum:


1. Physics: The study of motion and forces often uses angles to describe the
direction of forces and motion. Understanding angles and their classifications helps
students apply mathematical concepts to physical phenomena, such as projectile
motion.
2. Art: In visual arts, angles play a significant role in perspective and composition.
Recognizing and classifying angles can enhance students' ability to create balanced
and aesthetically pleasing artwork, connecting mathematics with creative expression.

Engage:
Teaching Strategy: Cooperative Learning
Instructional Materials: Whiteboard, markers
Energizer 1: Angle Hunt
Students work in pairs to find and draw examples of different types of angles (acute,
obtuse, right) in the classroom or school environment.
Each pair presents their findings to the class, encouraging discussion on angle
types.
Energizer 2: Angle Charades
Without any materials, students take turns acting out different angles while others
guess the angle type. This encourages movement and engagement, making learning
fun and interactive.

Activities
Activity 1: Angle Classification Game
Teaching Strategy: Game-based Learning
Materials: Angle cards (pre-prepared with different angles drawn), game board
Significance: This activity allows students to actively classify angles through a fun
and engaging game.

Instructions:
1. Divide the class into small groups.
2. Distribute angle cards to each group.
3. Groups will classify their angles into categories (acute, right, obtuse) on the game
board.

Rubrics:
- Correct classification: 15 pts.
- Teamwork and participation: 10 pts.
- Presentation clarity: 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:
1. What are the characteristics of an acute angle?
2. How can you identify an obtuse angle?
3. Why is it important to classify angles accurately?
Activity 2: Real-Life Parallelism Exploration
Teaching Strategy: Inquiry-Based Learning
Materials: None (students will explore their surroundings)
Significance: This activity encourages students to observe and discuss real-life
examples of parallel lines and angles.
Instructions:
1. Take the students outside or around the classroom.
2. Ask them to identify and discuss examples of parallel lines and angles they see in
their environment (e.g., roads, buildings).
3. Have students share their observations in small groups.

Rubrics:
- Identification of examples: 15 pts.
- Group discussion engagement: 10 pts.
- Clarity of observations: 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:
1. Can you explain why the lines you identified are parallel?
2. How do angles relate to the parallel lines you observed?
3. Why do you think understanding parallelism is important in real life?

Explain:
Activity 1 - The objective centers on recognizing and classifying angles while
understanding parallelism, connecting geometry with practical applications in daily
life.
Activity 2 - Understanding angles helps students see the relationships between
different geometric shapes and their properties.
Activity 3 - Recognizing parallel lines is essential in various fields, from engineering
to art, reinforcing the relevance of mathematics in real-life contexts.

Elaborate:
Teaching Strategy: Project-Based Learning
1. Task: Create a poster that illustrates different types of angles and examples of
parallel lines found in the local community.
2. Task: Research a real-life application of angles and parallelism in a profession
(e.g., architecture, engineering) and present findings to the class.
Discussion: Students will share their findings and discuss how angles and
parallelism are crucial in their chosen profession, fostering an understanding of the
importance of mathematics in various careers.
Evaluate:
Teaching Strategy: Formative Assessment

Questions:
1. What are the three types of angles and their defining characteristics?
2. How can you determine if two lines are parallel?
3. Why might it be important for engineers to understand angles and parallel lines?

For Higher Order Thinking Skills:

Questions:
1. How would the world look different if parallel lines did not exist?
2. Can you think of a situation where understanding angles could solve a real-world
problem?
3. How do angles influence design in architecture?

Answers:
1. Without parallel lines, structures would be unstable and chaotic, affecting
everything from buildings to roads.
2. Understanding angles can help in navigation or construction, ensuring safety and
accuracy.
3. Angles are crucial in determining the stability and aesthetics of architectural
designs, influencing how spaces are utilized.

Assignment:
1. Identify three examples of angles and parallel lines in your home or community
and write a short paragraph explaining their significance. Use a cooperative learning
strategy by sharing findings with a family member or friend.
