Angles with parallel lines
Understand and use the relationship between parallel lines cut by a transversal: corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, and co-interior (same-side interior) angles; use these to find unknown angles
Teaching approaches
Gakuva’s recommended starting approach is selected. You can still compare every option.
1 approach
If your child sees a Z-shape or F-shape formed by two parallel lines and a crossing line in a diagram, can they identify the equal angles and explain why they’re equal?
