Parallel Lines Review

This is a slide from our class notes on a lesson in parallel lines.  Make sure you know where the answers are coming from.  Review key terms: linear pair, vertical angles, corresponding angles, same-side interior/exterior angles, and alternate interior/exterior angles.

Real Life Example

As I told you in a previous post, along with other teachers, I am participating in a Wii Bowling tournament to raise money towards a scholarship for a student.  In Wii Tennis, there're many parallel and perpendicular lines.  Can you find them?

More from Mr. Kennedy

This exciting teacher is at it again! Here is Mr. Kennedy's video on some 3-dimensional geometry concepts. He added some cool animation. Wow, this guy is awesome.

Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

Aside from parallel lines, this chapter also deals with relationships involving perpendicular lines.  This is the link to a video explaining some fo the key concepts.

Homework Video Tutorial

This link is to a video for example 2 on page 136, a problem on using parallel lines.  Try to follow along and solve for "x".

Proving Lines Parallel

Proofs are definitely challenging for Geometry students. Here's a video that may help you on your homework!

Real Life Example

I was watching the Lakers and noticed that the basketball court and the stadium are made up of many pairs of parallel lines. Can you spot them? Post comments on where else you can find parallel lines around you everyday!

Properties of Parallel Lines

We're kicking off this chapter will a new definition - transversal.  It's a line that intersects two lines at two points.  If you haven't, do check out this video: Properties of Parallel Lines.
