Line Teacher Resources

Here is a geometry skills practice worksheet in which learners respond to six questions that require them to identify images that have symmetry.

Can you prove it? Making assumptions in geometry is commonplace. This resource requires mathematicians to prove the parallel line postulate through constructions. Learners construct parallel lines with a 180-degree rotation and then...

How do you fit a tape measure around the Earth? No need if you know a little geometry! Pupils begin by extending their understanding of the Side Splitter Theorem to a transversal cut by parallel lines. Once they identify the...

Use what you know about parallel and perpendicular lines to write equations! Learners take an equation of a line and write an equation of a line that is parallel or perpendicular using slope criteria. They then solve problems to...

Defining the undefined is the goal of this video. The instructor explains the important features of a point, line, and plane and how they work together. He also addresses the correct ways to name each and describes the correct notation —...

Describing a line using an algebraic equation is an essential skill in mathematics. The previous lesson in the series challenged learners to determine if segments are perpendicular with a formula. Now they use the formula to...

Good things happen when algebra and geometry get together! Continue the exploration of coordinate geometry in the third lesson plan in the series. Pupils explore linear equations and describe the points of intersection with a given...

What is the fastest way to get from point A to line l? A straight perpendicular line! Learners use what they have learned in the previous lessons in this series and develop a formula for finding the shortest distance from...

Don't leave your geometry knowledge only halfway complete. An informative video shows how to find the midpoint of a line segment. It introduces the midpoint formula and explains how to use the formula to find the midpoint given the...

Where does the reflection come from? The vivdeo starts with a quick review of the form of the equation of horizontal and vertical lines and diagonals passing through the origin. Using a pre-image and an image of a reflected figure, the...

Line up this lesson when introducing symmetry to your young mathematicians. Watch how two figures are introduced to different ways of folding and identifying whether or not they are actually symmetrical. Finish the lesson with a...

Students explore lines, rays, line segments, and planes. In this math instructional activity, students discuss the math concepts and direct their instructor in graphing functions. Students collaborate in graphing additional functions.

Student complete worksheet using the definitions of lines and angle vocabulary. They define the word and follow a direction given on the worksheet such "construct a line." They complete an online tutorial on how to measure angles using a...

In this geometry worksheet, students complete a homework assignment in which they name 3 lines and line segments. They write parallel, intersecting, or perpendicular, to describe the relationships between 4 pairs of lines. They draw an...

Teach your class about symmetry lines with this resource. This learning exercise defines symmetry and explains lines of symmetry and how they work. Learners examine a variety of examples before drawing lines of symmetry in 5 figures. The...

This resource highlights the basics of working with angles and could provide a sound introductory activity for students who are beginning to learn about angles. Eager mathematicians will be introduced to the terminology associated with...

A motivating activity is coupled with the use of algebra to explore the process of identifying the value of an angle. It feels like magic when Sal shows the solution to the final problem. Also, it would be worthwhile to consider using...

Young mathematicians identify different cases of intersecting secant lines. They then investigate the case where secant lines meet inside a circle.

Your Geometry learners will collaboratively prove that the tangent line of a circle is perpendicular to the radius of the circle. A deliberately sparse introduction allows for a variety of approaches to find a solution. 

If lines aren't parallel or perpendicular, then what are they? An interactive lets users rotate a line to change its orientation with respect to another line. It then indicates whether the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or...

Are there only three options: parallel, perpendicular, or intersecting? Scholars move a given line in an interactive to change its orientation with respect to another line. The interactive indicates whether the lines are parallel,...

It seems perpendicular lines have slopes which follow a specific rule. Scholars use an interactive to investigate this rule by moving a pair of lines on a coordinate plane. They find that perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite...

After walking in a nearby neighborhood, have your class create this amazing city street pop-up. They study the facades of the buildings they see, focusing on geometric line, shape, and architecture. They then draw, cut, and create a city...

Sometimes line segments just refuse to meet. Young mathematicians connect houses on an interactive map using line segments. They must then determine whether these line segment pairs are intersecting or parallel.
