Parallel lines cut by a transversal

Corresponding Angles Corresponding angles are two angles that lie in similar relative positions on the same side of a transversal or at each intersection. They are usually formed when two parallel or non-parallel lines are cut by a transversal. Remember that a transversal is a line that intersects two or more lines. In our illustration...

Free parallel lines cut by a transversal poster and coloring page. This poster helped my students visualize the relationships between angle pairs. The download is free and includes a few different versions of the poster to be printed in color, black and white (with patterns) or blank for students to color.

parallel lines cut by a transversal

This year I am teaching a Study Skills class for the first time. All of my students in the class are sophomores, which means they are all taking Geometry. Recently, they're all learning about parallel line angle relationships and I have been finding that I really need a visual for them to reference. I had made a poster a while ago, but it was in color. We don't have a color printer and printing it out in black and white just wasn't the best. So I wanted to make a visual that could be printed…

Just a super quick post…this week is crazier than usual…probably because I am missing Friday and Monday to go visit my brother in Palm Beach, Florida and see him play lacrosse! One of m…

Adding a math word wall to your bulletin board is a great use of empty space. In this post are photos of high school math word walls for algebra, geometry and algebra 2.

This FREE parallel lines cut by a transversal coloring activity doubles as a colorful reference poster or student notebook reference. Now includes a link to an interactive GOOGLE Slides version for online learning and teaching.

Try our parallel lines and transversal worksheets and find unknown interior, exterior, corresponding, alternate, and consecutive angles using postulates.

Get your students involved with investigation in your Geometry classroom. Students will discover what happens when parallel lines are cut by a transversal versus when non-parallel lines are cut. This post provides an explanation of why this is necessary and directions for how to do it in your classroom today!
