Find Someone Who........

For this perpendicular lines practice worksheet, students find and list examples of perpendicular lines at home, at school, and outside.

Explore how lines of symmetry help define different categories of quadrilaterals. Looking at a square, rectangle, trapezoid, and parallelogram, young mathematicians discover that each shape has its own, unique symmetry. Encourage your...

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...

What can symmetry tell us about triangles? After looking at four examples, learners will come to realize that lines of symmetry are different for equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles. Use this guided practice activity as an...

Use the alphabet as a tool for teaching your class about geometric figures. Break apart capital letters into line segments and arcs. Classify angles as right, acute, or obtuse. Identify parallel and perpendicular lines. An excellent...

Challenge your class to construct a definition for trapezoids. Looking at four examples and four non-examples, students individually create definitions and use them to classify an unknown shape. Allow for small group and whole-class...

Fourth and fifth graders learn to classify quadrilaterals and use more than one name for each. They follow the directions and classify three quadrilaterals. There are also activities which can be done with a partner.

In this lines and strings worksheet, students connect the letters along the outside of the box with string to create different kinds of lines. Students complete 4 problems.

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.
