Discovering Angle Relationships

In Mathematics, Year 7 students have been busy exploring angle relationships. 7.3 recently investigated angles formed by intersecting lines. Using colourful tape, students constructed two non-parallel lines and a transversal - this created eight angles for them to examine. They carefully measured and recorded each angle, before repeating the task with parallel lines.

Through this investigation, 7.3 learned to identify and compare corresponding, alternate and co-interior angles. They noticed the consistent patterns that appear when the lines are parallel. Students were excited to uncover these key geometric relationships for themselves, and were able to link their findings directly to the formal rules they have been learning in class.
