Families of Parallel Lines and the Circumference of the Earth
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...

Identify Line Types: Intersecting and Parallel Lines
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.

Intersecting and Parallel Lines
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.
