Lesson Plan Triangle InequLITY
Lesson Plan Triangle InequLITY
Performance Standards: The Learner is able to communicate mathematical thinking with coherence
and clarity in formulating, investigating, analyzing, and solving real life problems involving triangle
inequalities, and parallelism and perpendicularity of lines using appropriate and accurate
representations.
Learning Competencies: The Learner will be able to illustrate theorems on triangle inequalities
(Triangle Inequality Theorem, Unequal Sides Theorem, Unequal Angles Theorem)
Code: M8GE-IVa-1
I-Objectives:
A. Preliminaries
Prayer
Greetings
Checking of Attendance
Settling of Classroom Standards (Cleanliness and reminders)
B. Drill
Students will compare the given values shown in the projector. They will answer
only greater than, less than or Equal.
C. Review
How do you describe isosceles Triangle?
Post Activity
They group will present their output and they will choose one
representative to report.
B-Analysis
After the activity (what if it’s longer), the students will be asked the following;
1. Is there a relationship between the length of the side of a triangle and the measure of angle
opposite to it?
2. What is the relationship between the longest side of a triangle and the measure of the angle
opposite to it?
3. What is the relationship between the shortest side of a triangle and the measure of the
angle opposite to it?
4. What can you conclude in between the angles of triangle and the sides opposite to them?
After the activity (what if it’s larger?), the students will be asked the following;
1. Is there a relationship between the size of an angle and the length opposite to it?
2. What is the relationship between the largest angle of a triangle and the side opposite to it?
3. What is the relationship between the smallest angle of a triangle and the side opposite to it?
4. What can you conclude between the angles of triangle and the opposite to them?
After the activity (When can you say enough?), the students will be asked the following;
Triangle Inequality Theorem 1 (Ss-Aa) states that “If one side of a triangle is longer than the
second, then the angle opposite the longer side is larger than the angle opposite the second
Example: side”.
Therefore ∠A > ∠C
Triangle Inequality Theorem 2 (Aa-Ss) states that “If one angle of a triangle is larger than
the second angle, then the side opposite the larger angle is longer than the side opposite the second
angle”.
Example:
Triangle Inequality Theorem 3 states that “the sum of the lengths of any two sides is greater than
the length of the third side.
