**Grade Level:** Senior Secondary 1
**Subject:** Technical Drawing
**Duration:** 90 minutes
**Topic:** Angles
---
#### **Objectives:**
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
1. Define and identify different types of angles.
2. Measure angles using a protractor.
3. Construct specific angles using drafting tools.
4. Apply knowledge of angles in technical drawings.
#### **Materials:**
- Whiteboard and markers
- Rulers
- Protractors
- Compasses
- Pencils
- Technical Drawing paper
- Projector and laptop (for presentations)
- Worksheets with practice problems
#### **Lesson Plan:**
**Introduction (10 minutes):**
1. **Greeting and Roll Call:** Welcome students and take attendance.
2. **Hook:** Show a short, engaging video or images of real-world applications where angles are crucial (e.g., in architecture, engineering, and machinery).
3. **Objective Overview:** Briefly outline what students will learn and achieve by the end of the lesson.
**Direct Instruction (20 minutes):**
1. **Definition and Types of Angles:**
- Use the whiteboard or projector to explain and draw different types of angles (acute, right, obtuse, straight, reflex, and full rotation).
- Give real-life examples where each type of angle is commonly observed.
2. **Measuring Angles:**
- Demonstrate how to measure angles using a protractor. Go through the steps carefully and ensure every student can see the demonstration.
- Show examples of correct and incorrect measurements.
3. **Constructing Angles:**
- Demonstrate the process of constructing angles using a compass and ruler.
- Construct an angle of 45°, 90°, and 120° on the whiteboard/projector.
**Guided Practice (20 minutes):**
1. **Worksheet Practice:**
- Provide a worksheet with various angles for students to measure and construct. Circulate around the class to provide individual assistance and feedback.
- Encourage students to work in pairs to foster collaboration.
2. **Class Participation:**
- Select a few students to come to the front and demonstrate measuring and constructing angles using the tools provided.
**Independent Practice (20 minutes):**
1. **Angle Construction Task:**
- Assign a more complex technical drawing task where students must construct a set of angles within a geometric figure. Provide clear instructions and examples.
- Encourage students to apply the principles learned to ensure accuracy in their work.
**Assessment (15 minutes):**
1. **Pop Quiz:**
- Conduct a short quiz with questions on identifying, measuring, and constructing angles.
- Collect and quickly review the quizzes to gauge understanding.
2. **Class Review:**
- Discuss common mistakes observed during the assessment and worksheets. Address any misconceptions and answer lingering questions.
**Closure (5 minutes):**
1. **Summary:**
- Recap the key points of the lesson, emphasizing the importance of precision in technical drawing.
- Highlight how the understanding of angles will be essential in future lessons.
2. **Assignment:**
- Assign a homework task to measure and construct specific angles in a real-world object or structure they observe at home.
- Provide guidance on what to look for and how to present their findings.

### **Post-Lesson Reflection:**
**For Teacher:**
- Evaluate the effectiveness of the lesson plan based on student performance and engagement.
- Note any areas where students struggled and consider additional practice or review.
- Reflect on timing and make adjustments for future lessons if necessary.
**For Students:**
- Encourage feedback from students on what they found most challenging or interesting.
- Offer additional resources or support for those who need further practice.
By following this lesson plan, students in Senior Secondary 1 should gain a foundational understanding of angles in technical drawing and be able to apply this knowledge in practical scenarios.
