Understand line segments, endpoints, parallel, intersection, and perpendicular concepts. Identify these elements in pictures and learn about intersecting lines and right angles.

Points, Lines and Line SegmentsVocabulary: line segment, endpoints, parallel, intersection and perpendicular Materials: Lesson 16.1 excel spreadsheet handout
Lines • A line is straight and continues in both directions. It has no endpoints.
What it actually is: line segment line segment D E Write: DE or ED Line segment and endpoints • A line segment is a piece of a line. It has two endpoints.
Write: YZ KL parallel What it actually is: Y parallel Z K L “is parallel to”
intersecting lines What it actually is: Lines that cross each other. J These lines intersect at point J.
The angle makes a square corner, which is called a right angle. What it actually is: Two lines that form right angles. perpendicular
What it actually is: An angle that makes a square corner right angle
Do you see any right angles? Use the RED pen to show parallel lines. Use the BLUE pen to show perpendicular lines. Place a GREENpoint on intersecting lines.
