Number and Operations Standard
– When parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the students must find
the angles formed. By doing this, students become “fluent” in
operating with real numbers either by using “pencil and paper or by
mental computation.”
- Students may also test the “reasonableness” of their findings for
the angle measures.
Connections Standard
- Students can make the connection between parallel lines and the
“real world”. For example – telephone wires are parallel, the steps on a
ladder are parallel, the lanes on the highway are parallel, piano keys
are parallel and so forth.
