Parallel Lines Geometry Unit & Project

In Geometry, understanding parallel lines is fundamental to working with parallelograms, coordinate Geometry, and even congruent triangles.

Learners will learn the following in relation to parallel lines cut by a transversal:  corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, same-side interior angles, alternate exterior angles, vertical angles, and linear pairs.

In this flex class, I'll also be teaching the basics of parallel lines, including:
-what the names of the formed angles are called
-how they relate to each other (i.e., are they congruent or supplementary, including those definitions)
-how to create equations to find angle measures 
-how to solve those equations using basic Algebra solving of linear equations

Week 1:  understand the definitions and connection of parallel lines and transversal, and know the names of the angles that are formed
Week 2:  understand the definitions of congruent and supplementary; undertsanding which angles are congruent and which are supplementary; recognizing angle measures based on these connections
Week 3:  create and solve equations to find angle measures that include one variable
Week 4:  Project week!  
Learners create a city map using what they've learned in this course--learners will then include a detailed set of clues for other learners (including myself!) to decode and try to re-create your city without looking at your map.

Using video instruction, I'll teach the lesson each week.  Learners will be provided with practice problems, including a detailed answer key.  

I'm an involved teacher, and I love working with engaged learners.  Learners are encouraged to "turn in" their completed practice if they'd like feedback, or to simply send me a video or written message with any questions they have about the week's content.

I’m a high school math teacher who loves working with students who think they’re bad at math.  Questions?  Message me anytime.
