©Evergreen Public Schools Learning Target I can apply properties about parallel and perpendicular lines, and the angles formed by parallel lines. What do you know about parallel or perpendicular lines?

©Evergreen Public Schools Just So You Know… Construction – To use geometry tools (protractor, straight edge, compass, pencil) to create a figure on paper. Draw/Sketch – To roughly approximate a geometric figure on paper. Straight edge – something used to draw a line.

©Evergreen Public Schools Draw 2 parallel lines. Add a 3 rd parallel line. Fold 2 parallel lines. Add a 3 rd parallel line. Draw 2 perpendicular lines. Add a 3 rd perpendicular line. Fold 2 perpendicular lines. Add a 3 rd perpendicular line. You may use a ruler. You cannot use lined paper.

©Evergreen Public Schools Examine all four tasks. Make a list of possible conjectures you think could be true about parallel and perpendicular lines. Each group will have to share at least one possible conjecture with the class. So make a long list.

©Evergreen Public Schools Team Practice Use what you learned from the last task to complete the table.

©Evergreen Public Schools On your Unit Organizer Complete the “parallel lines” box on page 6. Complete the bottom half of page 10.

©Evergreen Public Schools Learning Target Did you hit the target? I can apply properties about parallel and perpendicular lines, and the angles formed by parallel lines. Rate your understanding of the target from 1 to 5.
