Without ever using the actual term, this exercise has the learner develop the key properties of the midsegment of a triangle. This task leads the class to discover a proof of similar triangles using the properties of parallel...

Toys are great for learning about physics. Scholars use Slinky® toys to study Newton's laws of motion and types of energy. After a little play, they then model longitudinal and transverse waves with the Slinky® toys.

This task asks learners to prove that the segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a parallelogram is both congruent and parallel to an adjacent side of the parallelogram. The activity would be good to use in a discussion about how...

This activity allows students to: 1. Identify the pairs of angles formed when a transversal intersects two lines.: 2. Measure angles Using Cabri Jr. 3. Identify relationships between pairs of angles when a transversal intersects parallel...

Students explore the relationships of angles formed when two parallel or non-parallel lines are cut by a transversal. This activity investigates the terms: Transversal, corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, alternate exterior...

In this activity, students create parallel lines and a transversal, and study the properties of the lines and their angles.

In this activity, students learn and increase their knowledge about the angles formed when parallel lines are cut by a transversal.

Using Cabri Jr, the students (with the teachers help) will create parallel lines cut by a transversal, measure angles, and compare the relationships of the angles formed using features of the Cabri Jr.

Students explore relationships in various angles formed by 2 parallel lines and a transversal.

In this activity, students use their own creativity (and their bodies) to make longitudinal and transverse waves. Through the use of common items, they will investigate the different between longitudinal and transverse waves.

Students can use Cabri Jr. to construct parallel lines and transversals. They will make conjectures about the angles that are formed.

In this activity, students will explore the proportional relationships involved in multiple parallel lines being cut by transversals. These relationships are approached through exploration of a sail design problem, where students are to...

This file contains questions related to parallel lines cut by a transversal and the angles formed. The questions can be used to asses your students' understanding of this topic in geometry.

Using their knowledge of physics, students will build a wind chime. Mathematical computations will be done to determine the length of the pipes.
