Which 3 go together?

4 different 4 sided figures, labeled A, B, C, D. A, one pair of vertical parallel line segments. Bottom side connects with the parallel line segments to form 2 right angles. B, 1 pair of horizontal parallel lines. C, 1 pair of parallel line segments that are slanted diagonally. D, two pairs of parallel line segments, opposite segments have same length.

1. Here is a map of a neighborhood in Staten Island, New York.

   

   Find and label each of these items on the map.

   • 4 line segments of different lengths
   • 3 pairs of parallel lines
   • 2 pairs of lines that are not parallel

   (Consider using a different color for each type of line.)

2.  

   

   Use the words WHALE and JOY to find one or more letters that represent each description.

   1. No parallel segments _________________________

   2. Exactly one pair of parallel segments _________________________

   3. More than one pair of parallel segments _________________________

   4. Exactly one segment _________________________

If you have time: Does the uppercase alphabet use more parallel segments or intersecting segments?

1. Use each of these descriptions to draw a sketch of a part of your classroom.

   1. at least 3 pairs of parallel line segments
   2. intersecting line segments that make square corners
   3. intersecting line segments that don’t make square corners

   Trade sketches with a partner. Find the line segments represented in each description.

2. Here are some symbols and logos that you may recognize. All of them have intersecting and parallel line segments.

   

   Design a logo with at least 8 parallel segments and 8 intersecting line segments.

   Use a ruler for any straight parts of your logo.
