- Identify angles formed by two parallel lines and a non- perpendicular transversal.
- Identify and use the Corresponding Angles Postulate.
- Identify and use the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem.
- Identify and use the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem.
- Identify and use the Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem.
II.Cross-curricular-TubeMapinLondon
- Use the following image from Wikipedia. This is Figure 03.02.01.
- http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tube_map_thumbnail.png
- Be sure that each student has a copy of the map.
- Students are going to use this map to find an example of each of the postulates/theorems in this lesson.
- Corresponding Angles Postulate
- Alternate Interior Angles Theorem
- Alternative Exterior Angles Theorem
- Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem
- Students will need to prove that each example in the map is accurate.
- Have them use a protractor to measure and provide a list of statements and proof for each postulate/theorem.
- Then allow time for students to share their work.
III.TechnologyIntegration-TransportationSearch
- Have students use this map of the Tube and compare it with the map of the subway in NYC and the map of
the āLā in Chicago. - Compare and contrast each map and the use of angles, parallel lines and transversals.
- Have students write a few concluding statements to describe each in mathematical terms.
- Then allow time for students to share their work.
IV.NotesonAssessment
- Collect student tube maps and statements.
- Did the students justify each theorem/postulate correctly and accurately?
- Did they use angle measures in their justifications?
- Provide students with feedback/correction when needed.
