start with a little exploration. I want you to take a
look around the room and think about where we
might find angles in our everyday surroundings.

Excellent observation! Indeed, the corners of the

whiteboard form right angles. What about Student 2: The windows! The frames make

angles too.

Fantastic! Windows are great examples. What

type of angles do you think those are?
Student 3: (thinking) I think those are acute
angles because they are less than 90 degrees.
Great job! And what about the desks? Do they
have any angles?
Student 4: (looking at the desks) Oh! The
legs of the desks form angles too.
Exactly! Now, let's take it a step further. What
about angles outside the classroom? Where can
we find them in the real world? Student 5: (raising hand) I saw angles on
the stop sign when I was coming to school
today!
Excellent observation! Stop signs are a perfect
example. What about traffic lights?

That's the beauty of angles – they're all around Student 6: The traffic lights have angles

or even at home, angles play a crucial role in our
surroundings.
Student 7: (curious) Why are we learning
about angles? What's the big deal?
Ah, that's a fantastic question! Understanding
angles helps us make sense of shapes, patterns,
and even solve real-world problems. Today,
we're going to explore the properties of angles in
polygons, and by the end of the lesson, you'll see
just how important angles can be. So, are you
ready to dive into the world of angles?

Students: (in unison) Yes!

 C. Presentation

Today, we're going to unravel the mysteries of angles

within polygons. So, let's jump right into our lesson. Students take out their notebooks and pens,
I'm going to use some visuals to present the topic, and ready to engage with the presentation.
I encourage you to take notes as we go along.

(using the projector to display an image of a polygon

on the board) Here's a polygon, a closed figure with
straight sides.

Can anyone tell me what makes this shape different

from other geometric figures? Student 1: (raising hand) It has straight
sides, and it's closed.
Absolutely! Now, let's focus on the interior of the
polygon. What do you notice about the angles inside?
Student 2: (thinking) The angles seem to be

indeed vary. Let's take a closer look at the properties
of these angles.

(drawing on the board) Now, consider this polygon.

I'll label the vertices A, B, C, D, and E.

Students follow along, sketching the

polygon and labeling the vertices in their
notebooks.

(pointing to angle ABC) Let's focus on angle ABC.

This is an interior angle because it's inside the
polygon. Now, what do you notice about its size?

Exactly! In a polygon, each interior angle is less than

180 degrees. But can it be any size?
Student 3: (raising hand) It looks like less
than 180 degrees.
Spot on! An interior angle in a polygon is always
greater than 0 degrees. Now, let's explore some
specific types of polygons and their angle properties.
 Student 4: (thinking) No, it has to be more
than 0 degrees, right?
(displaying images of different polygons) Here are
some common polygons: triangles, quadrilaterals,
pentagons, and hexagons. Let's discuss the sum of
interior angles for each.

Students follow the discussion, jotting down

notes on the sum of interior angles for
triangles, quadrilaterals, and other polygons.

(summarizing) So, in any triangle, the sum of interior

angles is always 180 degrees. Similarly, for a
quadrilateral, it's 360 degrees. Can anyone venture a
guess for a pentagon or a hexagon? Student 5: (raising hand) Is it 540 degrees
for a pentagon and 720 degrees for a
hexagon?
Brilliant! You're right on target. The sum of interior
angles follows a pattern, and we can use it to find the
sum for any polygon. Now, let's practice a few
examples together.

(presenting problems on the board) I'll work through a

couple of examples, and then I'll have you try some Students actively participate, attempting to
on your own. solve problems on their individual
whiteboards.

(concluding the presentation) Great job, everyone!

Today, we've explored the properties of angles in
polygons. Make sure to review your notes, and don't
hesitate to ask questions. We'll be diving into some
engaging activities next to solidify our understanding.
Are you ready for the challenge?

Students: (enthusiastically) Yes!

explore different perspectives.

Alright, let's start with a fundamental question: Why

do you think it's essential to study the properties of
angles in polygons?
Excellent point! Geometry is indeed all around us.
Now, considering the sum of interior angles, why
does it follow a specific pattern in polygons?
Student 1: (raising hand) I think it helps us
understand the structure of different shapes,
which can be useful in geometry and even in
real-life situations.
Student 2: (thinking) Maybe there's a
relationship between the number of sides in
a polygon and the sum of its interior angles?

That's a great hypothesis. Can anyone build on that

idea or provide a different perspective? Student 3: (raising hand) I think it has to do
with the fact that polygons are closed
figures. The sum of angles has to somehow
fit within the shape.

Very insightful! Now, let's consider practical

applications. How might understanding the properties
of angles in polygons be useful in real-life situations?
Student 4: (thinking) Well, architects use
geometry to design buildings and structures.
Knowing how angles work in different
shapes helps them create stable and

fields. Now, let's shift our focus. Can anyone share a
challenging aspect of today's lesson, or something
they'd like to explore further?
Student 5: (raising hand) I found the
concept of the sum of interior angles
fascinating, but I wonder if there's a way to
prove why it works for any polygon.
(summing up) I appreciate your thoughtful responses.
It's clear that you've engaged deeply with the material.
Keep these questions in mind as we move forward.
Now, let's transition to the next part of our lesson.

(Students reflect on the discussion,

considering new perspectives and questions
raised by their peers. They look forward to
further exploration in the upcoming lessons.)

E. Abstraction
 Now that we've explored the properties of angles in (Students have their notebooks and pens,
polygons through our presentation and Socratic prepared to synthesize the information

work together to distill the key principles and form
general rules about angles in polygons.

(drawing on the board) Let's take a step back and

think about what we've learned. In a triangle, the
sum of interior angles is 180 degrees. How would
Student 1: (raising hand) The sum of
you express this as a general rule?
interior angles in any triangle is 180 degrees.

Precisely! Now, extending this idea to

quadrilaterals, what general rule can we establish?
Student 2: (thinking) It's 360 degrees. So,
the sum of interior angles in a quadrilateral
is 360 degrees.

Excellent deduction. Now, let's generalize further. Student 3: (raising hand) For a pentagon,
What about a pentagon?
the sum of interior angles is 540 degrees.

Great job! You've caught on quickly. And how

Student 4: (confidently) It's 720 degrees.
about a hexagon?
So, the sum of interior angles in a hexagon
is 720 degrees.

Fantastic! You've successfully abstracted the

pattern. Can anyone propose a formula that relates
the number of sides in a polygon to the sum of its Student 5: (thinking) Is it
interior angles? 180∘×(n−2)180∘×(n−2), where n is the
number of sides?

Brilliant! You've nailed it. The formula

180∘×(n−2)180∘×(n−2) indeed gives us the sum
of interior angles for any polygon. Now, let's
discuss why this formula makes sense.

(facilitating discussion) Let's delve deeper into

the reasoning behind the formula. Why does
multiplying the number of sides by 180 and
subtracting 360 give us the sum of interior
angles?
Excellent insight!
Student 6: (raising hand) I think it has to do
with splitting the polygon into triangles.
Each interior angle contributes 180∘180∘,
and we subtract 360 because there are two
triangles in a quadrilateral.

(summarizing) Today, we've not only explored

the properties of angles in polygons but also
abstracted our understanding into a formula that
can be applied to any polygon. Keep this formula
in mind as we tackle more complex problems in
the future.

F. Application

group)

Teacher's Guidance:

• Circulate among the groups, helping and

encouraging discussions.
• Prompt groups to consider the stability,
design, or functionality associated with the
chosen scenarios.
• Emphasize the connection between the angles
in the polygons and the real-world application.
• Step 1: Discuss and decide on a real-
world scenario where triangles play a
crucial role (e.g., the construction of
a pyramid).
• Step 2: Sketch the scenario on the
poster paper, paying attention to the
angles involved and how they
contribute to the stability or design.

Group 2 (Quadrilateral):

• Step 1: Brainstorm a situation in

which quadrilaterals are integral
(e.g., designing a room or
constructing a building).
• Step 2: Illustrate the scenario on the
poster, emphasizing the right angles
and their significance.

Group 3 (Pentagon):
 • Step 1: Think about a context where
pentagons are commonly used (e.g.,
home décor or street signs).
• Step 2: Draw the scenario on the
poster, highlighting the interior
angles of the pentagon.

Group 4 (Hexagon):

• Step 1: Consider a real-world

application for hexagons (e.g.,
beehives or certain patterns in
design).
• Step 2: Create a visual
representation on the poster,
showcasing the interior angles of the
hexagon.

(At the end of the activity, each group will

present their mural to the class, explaining
the significance of the angles in their chosen
real-world scenario. This hands-on activity
combines creativity with mathematical
understanding, reinforcing the practical
importance of angles in polygons.)
 G. Generalization

showcasing the application of angles in different
polygons. What patterns or generalizations did

(encouraging discussion) Excellent point! Right

angles provide stability and order in architectural
design. Moving on to the pentagon scenario? Student from group 3: (sharing) In our
street sign example, the angles of the
pentagon contribute to its visibility and
recognition.
Absolutely! The unique shape of the pentagon,
formed by its angles, can serve practical purposes
in design and signage. And how about the Student from group 4: (contributing) In the
hexagon scenario? beehive example, the hexagonal shape
maximizes space and allows for efficient
honeycomb formation.

Well said! Hexagons, with their angles, are

naturally efficient in packing and utilizing space.
Now, let's generalize these insights.

As a class, let's formulate some general principles:

• Principle 1: The stability of structures often
relies on the angles formed by the geometric
shapes involved.
• Principle 2: Right angles are crucial in
architectural design, providing stability and
aesthetic order.
• Principle 3: Unique shapes formed by
polygons, such as pentagons, can serve
practical purposes in design and signage.
• Principle 4: Hexagons, with their angles, are
naturally efficient in packing and utilizing
space.
(Students actively participate in the
generalization process.)

(concluding) Well done, everyone! Today, we've not

only explored the mathematical properties of angles
in polygons but also connected these principles to
real-world applications. Keep these generalizations in
mind as we progress further in our geometric journey.
