Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Assessment

Geometric Angles

This parallel and perpendicular lines problem-based learning post-assessment tasks students to demonstrate their understanding of parallel lines, transversals, and special angle pairs.

This assessment tool can also be used as a pre-assessment to determine students prior knowledge and experiences with geometric shapes.

Designing a City

Students are tasked to design their own city. The city must have all the following correct to receive full credit.

1.     5 parallel streets (each street must be named)

2.     2 transversal streets (each street must be named)

2.     Your house and a school (same side interior angle)

3.     A courthouse and a bank (vertical angles)

4.     A general store and a church (corresponding angles)
