Sharpen your pencil and grab a ruler, it's time to draw some quadrilaterals! Given the definition of a parallelogram, rectangle, and rhombus, learners draw examples and nonexamples of each figure. The three definitions are then used to...

Is it a line, line segment, ray, or angle? Identifying geometric figures is the focus. In addition to identification, learners recognize right angles or tell if an angle is less than or greater than a right angle. They tell if lines are...

Fifth graders demonstrate different types of lines using movement. In this line and movement lesson, 5th graders demonstrate parallel and perpendicular lines, and lines of symmetry using dance movement. They also demonstrate rhombus...

Navigate your way through a lesson on types of lines. Individuals drag line segments to illustrate paths between pairs of houses on an interactive map. They determine if these line segment pairs are intersecting or parallel.

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.

Skew lines? What? By definition, skew lines are lines on different planes that never intersect. Watch this video and get an explanation along with a visual diagram.

Parallel lines never intersect. That's right, NEVER! They are in the same plane but never touch. The instructor illustrates many types of lines and shows you how parallel lines don't ever cross.

So you have a transversal line intersecting two parallel lines and you are looking for a value that would make two corresponding angles congruent. You have all the information needed to write an equation to find the value. So write that...

Get jamming with lines and sing along to this karaoke that reviews the main types of lines. Your learners can't forget the main properties of lines when they sing the chorus on the karaoke song after the included slide show. The slides...
