Major Concept- D. Lines and Line Segments

 

Objective

 

1. To define line segment, ray, line, bisector, perpendicular line, perpendicular bisector, transversal, alternate interior angles, corresponding angles, same-side interior angles.

 

2. To identify and calculate the measures of the following angles formed by parallel lines- corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, and same-side interior angles.

 

3. To solve word problems involving angles formed by parallel lines.

 

4. To construct informally a line parallel to a given line through a point not on the line.

 

5. To construct informally a line perpendicular to a given line from a point on the line.

 

6. To construct informally a line perpendicular to a given line through a point not on the line.

 

7. To construct informally the perpendicular bisector of a line segment.

 

Construct informally means employing the mira or paperfolding. Traditional straight edge and compass constructions may be used as enrichment.
