Students broaden their outlook on geometry in their everyday environment. They explore the properties of parallel lines and parallelograms and discover ways to prove the existence of parallel lines and discuss the concept of parallel lines.

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.

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...

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.

Your geometry learners use their knowledge of various geometric concepts to write proofs. Starting with givens containing parallel line segments with transversals and triangles and quadrilaterals, and the mid-point and distance formulas;...

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...

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.

Eighth graders classify geometric figures.  In this polygon instructional activity, 8th graders identify given geometric figures.  They compare and contrast different polygons.  Students name line segments, identify...

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...

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

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

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.

Students explore intersecting lines. In this intersecting lines lesson, students investigate shapes consisting of parallel, perpendicular, and similar lines. Students investigate these lines in shapes around them.

This basic handout would be good for skills practice or a review of parallel and perpendicular lines. Review the definitions, then practice writing equations of lines that pass through a specific point and are either parallel or...

Students calculate the distance between two points. In this geometry lesson, students define the meaning of the distance between parallel lines. They find the point of intersection of other lines.

In this geometry learning exercise, 4th graders list the lines that are parallel or perpendicular to each other. Then they mark with one color the line segments that are parallel and another color those that are perpendicular.

Fifth graders complete activities to investigate parallel and perpendicular lines. For this plane geometry lesson, 5th graders watch a movie about parallel and perpendicular lines. Students work in pairs to describe and draw the lines in...

Sixth graders draw parallel and intersecting lines to observe and examine the characteristics of alternate interior angles, vertical angles, corresponding angles, and supplementary angles. Through observation, they discover the...

Having a good working knowledge of math vocabulary is especially important for geometry learners. Here are 119 pages worth of wonderfully constructed definitions, constructions, formulas, properties, theorems, and postulates. This is a...

Young mathematicians use their geometry skills to save the Land of Venn in an engaging math game. A fun way to reinforce children's understanding of basic geometric figures and shapes.

Students differentiate between parallel and perpendicular lines. In this geometry lesson, students identify the different angles created by perpendicular lines and parallel lines. They name the angles that are form when parallel lines...
