b. The teacher will instruct the students to draw a large tic-tac-toe board on the graph paper. This board will consist of two vertical and two horizontal lines, which will form several angles.
c. The teacher will then ask the students to identify and draw different types of angles formed by these intersecting lines. They will also be required to measure and classify these angles.
d. After completing the task, the groups will share their findings with the rest of the class.
e. To conclude, the teacher will facilitate a class discussion, reinforcing the concept of intersecting lines and angles based on the students' observations and findings.
