PRELECTION

1. The teacher will ask the prior knowledge of the students.

Can you still remember the different kinds of triangle?

What are those?

What are there differences?

Activity 1: I CAN DO IT!

Materials:4 pieces of short coupon bond paper,pencil, ruler, adhesive tape, protractor and pair of
scissors.

Procedure:1. Each member of the group will be given different kindof triangle (shown in establishing the
purpose of thelesson).

2. Choose a third side of a triangle. Mark each midpointof the other two sides then connect the
midpoints toform a segment. Does the segment drawn look parallel to thethird side of the triangle you
choose?

3. Measure the segment drawn and the third side youchoose.

• Compare the lengths of the segments drawnand the third side you choose. What did youobserve?

4. Cut the triangle along the segment drawn.Triangle 1Triangle 3Triangle 1Triangle 3

• What two figures are formed after cutting thetriangle along the segment drawn?

5. Use an adhesive tape to reconnect the triangle with theother figure in such a way that their common
vertexwas a midpoint and that congruent segments formedby a midpoint coincide.

• After reconnecting the cut outs, what newfigure is formed? Why?

• Make a conjecture to justify the new figureformed after doing the above activity. Explainyou answer.

• What can you say about your findings inrelation to those of your classmates? Do you think that the
findings apply to all kindsof triangles?

Activity 2: I CAN PROVE IT!

Given: ∆HNS, O is the midpoint of HN, E is the midpoint of NS.

Prove: OE || HS
