2. 8th Grade Math
Lesson: April 10
Learning Target:
Student will identify interior and exterior angles of a
triangle.
Lesson Includes:
1) Angle Types
2)Triangle Sum Theorem
3) Exterior Angle Theorem
3. Warm Up Activity
On a piece of paper, identify the following angles.
4. Warm Up Activity Answers
Review the questions from the previous slide.
Acute Right Obtuse Acute
5. Instruction: Types of Angles
Read through the vocabulary and review the diagrams. Then watch the
video linked here.
1) Interior Angle: an angle inside a shape
2) Exterior Angle: is an angle outside of a shape, made
by the side of a shape and a line drawn out from an
adjacent side
3) Acute Angle: an angle that’s less than 90 degrees
4) Obtuse Angle: an angle that is greater than 90
5) Right Angle: a 90 degree angle
6) Complementary Angle: two angles that when added
together equal 90 degrees Today we are
7) Supplementary Angle: two angles that when added
mainly focusing on
Interior and
together equal 180 degree Exterior Angles!

8. Instruction: Triangle Sum Theorem
Read through the theorem and steps. Watch the provided video here. Then
review the examples on the next slide.
The triangle sum property states that the sum of the three
interior (inside the triangle) angles in a triangle is always
180 degrees.
1) Write an equation that adds all three angle
2) Set the equation equal to 180 degrees.
3) Solve for the variable.
4) Plug the value of the variable (the answer) back into any Don’t forget your steps
angle expression that you need to find the value of. for solving equations!
9. Instruction: Triangle Sum Theorem
Review the examples. Directions: Solve for the variable, then find the missing
angle(s).
10. Practice: Triangle Sum Theorem
On a piece of paper: Solve for the variable, then find the missing angle(s).

12. Instruction: Exterior Angle Theorem
Read through the theorem and steps. Watch the provided video here. Then
review the examples on the next slide.
The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is
equal to the sum of the measures of the two
remote interior angles.
What if you are not given all the angles?
1) Write an equation: remote interior angle +
remote interior angle = exterior angle
2) Solve for the variable.
3) Plug the value of the variable (the answer) back
into any angle expression that you need to find the
value of.
13. Instruction: Exterior Angle Theorem
Review the examples.
14. Practice: Exterior Angle Theorem
On a piece of paper: Solve for the variable, then find the missing angle(s).
