Digital Camera Photo Assignment

Parallel Lines / Transversal Lines / Perpendicular Bisectors

Name: ______Class: ______Date:______

Outcome E5: identify, construct, classify, and use angle pair relationships

pertaining to parallel lines and their transversals.

Outcome E3: construct angle bisectors and perpendicular bisectors using a

variety of methods.

Outcome PTS 9.2(relates to 6.1, 6.2, 6.4, 6.5) explore curriculum concepts under study using specialized software; measuring, sampling and recording equipment; and computer-based simulations, with teacher assistance

In this assignment you will be responsible for researching the terms “parallel line”, “transversal line”, and “perpendicular bisectors” as it relates to geometry and the real world applications of geometry.

- a good source of online information on all mathematical concepts.

- Online dictionary. Find definitions and / or exampleson this site to help you.

Assignment Design:

  1. Research the concepts listed above. Use your textbook or the above websites.
  2. Take photos of three objects in the local environment and download them into a Microsoft Word® document. Your task will be to find examples of parallel lines, transversal lines, and perpendicular lines on your pictures. Draw each mathematical construct within each picture, using the “draw” tools.

Example:

Parallel lines =

edges of my

computer screen!

  1. On a separate page write your own definition using your examples. Design, using the drawing program, an example of each concept without the picture.
