Previously Published Data

1.) Students will find and describe examples of parallel lines and skew lines inside the room. 


2.) Students will draw parallel lines intersected by a transversal and measure the angles formed. 
3.) Students must justify their answers using one of the theorems for each task.



Previously Published Data

1.) Given parallel lines intersected by a transversal and the measure of one angle, students will find the measures of all the missing angles. They will justify their answers using one of the theorems. 


2.) Given two lines intersected by a transversal and the measure of more than one angle, students will determine whether or not the lines are parallel.
