Triangles
LESSON PLAN
OBJECTIVE:
LEARNING TARGETS:
Essential Question:
1. What are triangles?
2. What makes up a triangle?
BELL WORK: ( 5 – 10 minutes)
LESSON PROCEDURES/MODELING:
(30 – 35 minutes)
ANTICIPATORY SET:
Teacher starts class off by introducing the
discussion of triangle base knowledge. Teacher
asks students what they know about triangles,
what are components of a triangle, and what
are the different types of triangles.
CLOSURE: ( 5 – 10 minutes)
HOMEWORK:
UNIT MATERIALS/VIDEO
7.G.2
Draw (freehand, with a ruler and protractor,
and with technology) geometric shapes with
given conditions. Focus on constructing
triangles from three measures of angles or
sides, noticing when the conditions determine a
unique triangle, more than one triangle, or no
triangle.
1. I can draw a geometric shape with
specific conditions
2. I can construct a triangle when given
three measurements: 3 side lengths, 3
angle measurements, or a combination of
side and angle measurements.
3. I can determine when three specific
measurements will result in one unique
triangle, more than one possible triangle,
or no possible triangle.
Scale Factor (using a ruler)
Students complete bell work as teacher walks
the room to assess progress and check
students’ work. Students that got it correct
receive a sticker.
The teacher starts the week of with the
introduction of triangles. The teacher probes
the questions in the anticipatory set. During
the first lesson “Who are the triangles”, the
students learn about many different triangle
forms. The students learn what it takes to be a
triangle, at least for the basic qualities. The
students learn about sides later.

LESSON PLAN
OBJECTIVE:
LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
3. How are triangles defined?
4. How do we use information such as sides
and angles to construct triangles?
BELL WORK: ( 5 – 10 minutes)
LESSON PROCEDURES/MODELING:
(30 – 35 minutes)
ANTICIPATORY SET: Students get asked the
question, “How do we use such information as
sides and angles to construct triangles?”
Moreover, what matters most the angles or the
sides?
CLOSURE: ( 5 – 10 minutes)
7.G.2
Draw (freehand, with a ruler and protractor,
and with technology) geometric shapes with
given conditions. Focus on constructing
triangles from three measures of angles or
sides, noticing when the conditions determine a
unique triangle, more than one triangle, or no
triangle.
1. I can draw a geometric shape with
specific conditions
2. I can construct a triangle when given
three measurements: 3 side lengths, 3
angle measurements, or a combination of
side and angle measurements.
3. I can determine when three specific
measurements will result in one unique
triangle, more than one possible triangle,
or no possible triangle.
Angle Quiz
Students complete bell work located in their
lesson book. After completing, the students
receive a sticker for having correct answer.
Homework solutions will be posted after bell
work.
Teacher recaps that it takes 180 degrees to
make a triangle. The teacher also has students
name off the different type of triangles. The
teacher now shows them different components
of triangles and how they are important. In
turn, the students explore different ways to
construct different triangles. The students must
then determine whether that information
creates ambiguously defined triangles, unique
defined triangles, or non-existent triangles.
Determining whether a triangle is
ambiguously, unique, or non-existent.

Angles of Triangles

OBJECTIVE:
LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
3. How are triangles defined?
4. How do we use information such as sides
and angles to construct triangles?
BELL WORK: ( 5 – 10 minutes)
LESSON PROCEDURES/MODELING:
( 30 – 35 minutes)
ANTICIPATORY SET: Teacher states that
using sides as done in the previous section may
not be the only way to help determine
triangles. Triangles also have angles as well.
7.G.2
Draw (freehand, with a ruler and protractor,
and with technology) geometric shapes with
given conditions. Focus on constructing
triangles from three measures of angles or
sides, noticing when the conditions determine a
unique triangle, more than one triangle, or no
triangle.
1. I can draw a geometric shape with
specific conditions
2. I can construct a triangle when given
three measurements: 3 side lengths, 3
angle measurements, or a combination of
side and angle measurements.
3. I can determine when three specific
measurements will result in one unique
triangle, more than one possible triangle,
or no possible triangle.
Vertical Angles (Solving for x)
Students complete bell work located in their
lesson book. After completing, the students
receive a sticker for having correct answer.
Homework solutions will be posted after bell
work.
After working with sides of triangles, we
discover that we can also use the angles of the
triangles. The students by the end of the day
will be able to see that when we are given the
angles to a triangle, it will always be
ambiguously defined. Moreover, if we have a
right angle, it is possibly a uniquely defined
right triangle. We will have to find out!!!!
