Perplexing Parallelograms
In this geometry worksheet, young mathematicians divide a parallelogram into four, by choosing points along a diagonal. Students calculate the area of each parallelogram and look for any patterns that may emerge. The one-page...
Curated OER
N Equal Parts by Construction
Middle schoolers experiment with straight edges and compasses to divide lengths into equal parts. They identify different fractions of the total length.

Terrific Tessellations
Students explore tessellations that are found in nature and everyday objects. They observe the works of M.C. Escher. Students create their own tessellations using pencil and paper.
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Draw Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
Practice drawing parallel and perpendicular lines, line segments, and ray. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.
PBS
Pbs Learning Media: Math + Arts: Perspective Drawing
In this lesson, students use line segments, angles, and parallel and perpendicular lines in order to create a one point perspective drawing.

The Math Forum: Lines and Slope: Chameleon Graphing
Join Joan the chameleon in an exploration of lines and slope. You'll be drawing lines, calculating slope, using equations and more!
Illustrative Mathematics
Illustrative Mathematics: 8.g Find the Missing Angle
In this task, 8th graders are presented with a drawing of two parallel lines connected through two line segments. They are given the measures of two angles and are asked to find a third. Aligns with 8.G.A.5.
