  5. Concepts

  6. Theorems: A Discovery Approach “Theorems are full of potential for surprise and delight. Every theorem can be taught by considering the unexpected matter which theorems claim to be true. Rather than simply telling students what the theorem claims, it would be helpful if we assumed we didn’t know it… it is the mathematics teacher’s responsibility to recover the surprise embedded in the theorem and convey it to the pupils. The method is simple: just imagine you do not know the fact. This is where the teacher meets the students”. Van Hiele Model of Geometric Taught

  7. Definition 25 Given two lines AB and CD, and a transversal AE of them, as in fig (a), the angles  EAB and  ACD are called corresponding angles, with respect to the two lines and the given transversal. fig (a)

  8. Theorem 5 (Corresponding Angles) Two lines are parallel if and only if for any transversal, corresponding angles are equal. Approaches: 1. Drawing Students discover the theorem using ruler and protractor. 2. Geostrips Let’s examine the use of Geostrips for theorems in the classroom 3. Student CD How can the Student CD and Student Activity Sheet help?

  9. Application of Theorem 5 Periscope

  10. Theorem 14 (Pythagoras) In a right-angled triangle the square of the hypotenuse is the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Monument to Pythagoras in his birthplace, Samos.

  11. Theorem 14 (Pythagoras) In a right-angled triangle the square of the hypotenuse is the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Approaches: 1. Drawing Construction on squared paper. 2. Cut - out Two activity sheets. 3. Perigal’s Dissection One of many illustrations of Pythagoras Theorem. 4. Student CD. How can the Student CD and Student Activity Sheet help?

  12. Applications of Theorem 5 and its Converse Marking out a Site Checking for Square On the left we have a sketch of say an "L" shaped building. When builders are setting it out, after putting pegs in the three main corners, they want to check for square before getting the rest of the profiles fixed. They work out the length of the red dotted line to check for a right angle.

  14. Practical Problem 1 Practical Problem 2 • Given that the second story window is 4.5 m above the ground and the only sure footing for the ladder is at • least 2m from the house, can a window cleaner who • has a ladder of length 5m reach the window to clean it? The dimensions of your TV cabinet are 18" by 24". You want to buy a TV with a 27" screen in the 16 : 9 format. Check to see if it will fit in your cabinet before you go and purchase it?

  15. A Greek in an Italian Restaurant Some More Applications Can you see Pythagoras in the floor of this Italian restaurant? http://www.qedcat.com/archive/32.html Triangulation helps to locate a cell phone making an emergency call. It might use the Sine Rule to find the phone. The law of cosines can also reduce to the Pythagorean theorem. • Pythagoras’ theorem is used in fractal geometry e.g. Movie and Video game environments are drawn in 3-D using triangles.

  16. Towards Geometric Proofs Consider a geometry wall:the foundations of the wall consist of the early axioms and definitions. Each conclusion builds upon previous knowledge. The cement holding the wall together is the deductive logicthat is used to prove the next theorem. • Definition 26: Exterior Angle • Definition 25: Corresponding Theorem 5: Corresponding Theorem 2: Isoscelestriangles • Theorem 3: Alternate Angles • Theorem 4: Angle sum 180o Definition 21Isosceles Definition 22 - 23 • Definition 24: Alternate Axiom of parallels Axiom 5 Definitions4 - 17 Definition 18: Complementary Angles Theorem 1: Vertically opposite Angles CongruencyAxiom 4 Definition 19 - 20 Two Points Axiom. Axiom 1 Ruler axiom 2. Axiom 2 Protractor axiom 3 Axiom 3 Definition 1: Line segment Definition 2: Collinear Definition 3: Triangle

  17. Theorem 6 The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the interior remote angles. Approaches: 1. Proof Interactive Proof. 2. Student CD. How can the Student CD and Student Activity Sheet help?

  21. Construction 5 Line parallel to given line, through a given point. Approaches: 1. Instructions Use any method, animated or otherwise, to show the steps of the construction. 2. Students using theirmathematical instruments Have instructions on board as they are working out their construction. 3. Student CD. How can the Students CD and Student Activity Sheet help?
