Acquaint your class with the concept of parallel lines. Learners watch a PowerPoint presentation about how to write equations of parallel lines. Their understanding of linear equations and slope is taken a step further by the...

Have your class create parallel lines. Students will learn how to identify the different angles created by a parallel line cut by a transversal. Then, they identify and name similar and different angles.

Students construct parallel lines using a protractor and a straightedge. In this geometry lesson, students identify the properties of parallel lines. They use Cabri to graph and observe the lines.

Eighth graders are introduced to the basic concepts of Geometry and their definitions in Euclidean space. They draw and define the following terms: point, line, and line segment. Students also define the terms colliner and...

Why was the obtuse angle upset? Because it was never right! A valuable resource is loaded with background information on types of angles and lines. Learners review the characteristics of parallel, perpendicular, and...

Students plot pairs of Cartesian coordinates on graph paper and connect points with straightedges. They examine the lines and determine if they are parallel or not by finding the equations of the lines and comparing the slopes. They...

Learners study parallel and perpendicular lines. In this parallel and perpendicular lesson, pupils explore 2-D shapes and determine if the sides are parallel or perpendicular.

Students explore linear equation suing real life scenarios. In this algebra lesson, students find the slope and intercept of a line. They create table of values to plot their graph and draw conclusions.

Fourth graders examine and identify line segments and angles using dot paper to draw them. They look at vertical, horizontal, intersecting, parallel and perpendicular lines, draw right angles and angles that are greater than and less...

Young geometers get practice with the algebra of angles in an extensive skills practice worksheet. Supplementary, complementary, and vertical angle relationships are used, along with parallel lines cut by a transversal and angle sum...

With the focus being on parallel, perpendicular, or neither type, practice with three different types of problem solving. Learners start with a simple skill of determining the relationship between slopes and then work towards creating...

Provide your young artists with an opportunity to study the masters and their techniques to become skilled at drawing still life. They discuss and view images from artists like Degas and Michelangelo, practice drawing techniques such as...

Line up to learn about lines! Scholars discover how to express patterns as linear functions. The workbook then covers how to graph and write linear equations in slope-intercept form, as well as how to write equations of...

Keep your mathematicians engaged using this group linear functions activity. Each of ten groups receives two graphs with both an image and equation, as well as a "who has" phrase to call out the next graph. Scholars stay on their toes as...

Young geometers get some solid skills practice in evaluating slopes. Beginning with the basics of slope through two points and progressing through properties of parallel and perpendicular lines, the building of skills is gradual and...

Students solve problems dealing with points, lines and planes. In this geometry activity, students differentiate between parallel lines and planes. They find the intersection of lines and planes.

For this math activity, students find the slope of four lines when they are drawn on a coordinate grid. Students are given the slope and draw the line for two lines. They use the slope formula to find slope when given two points on a...

Students investigate the relationship between perpendicular and parallel lines on a coordinate plane. For this geometry lesson, students differentiate lines based on their slopes.

The Pythagorean Theorem is a staple of middle school geometry. Scholars first investigate angle relationships, both in triangles and in parallel lines with a transversal, before proving and applying the Pythagorean Theorem.

The resource is a good introduction to what makes a proportional relationship between two lines. Discuss the similarities of both lines and the possibility of intersection. Use this opportunity to list other acceptable forms of each...

Tenth graders investigate parallel lines and their special angles cut by a transversal. In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders identify and find corresponding, alternate interior, and alternate exterior angles formed when...

Students differentiate between parallel and perpendicular lines. In this geometry instructional activity, students make conjectures and apply it to solve real life situations. They collect data and make predictions based on the data.
