G-CO.9 Prove theorems about lines and angles. Theorems include:
Name______________
vertical angles are congruent; when a transversal crosses parallel lines,
alternate interior angles are congruent and corresponding angles are
congruent; points on a perpendicular bisector of a line segment are
exactly those equidistant from the segment’s endpoints.
Objective: Students will be able to classify parallel,
perpendicular, transversal and various types of angles
by producing map/city design by follow the criteria.
!
Description: This is a project for Geometry
students to create/design a fictional city. There is no
limit on their creativity. You will use the key elements we are learning related to parallel
lines cut by a transversal and the angles formed by them.
Task: You are to design a street map to accurately create a city design plan in
the form of a map for your own fictional city. Your city will have a name and
population which must be placed at the top of your project. You will demonstrate
your knowledge of parallel lines with a transversal, and your knowledge of congruent
and supplementary angles formed by the intersections of the lines.
Materials needed: Poster board or cardboard or blank paper (this will be provided larger than 8x11), pencils,
colored pencils or markers, eraser, and a ruler or straight edge.
Keywords: parallel lines, transversals, perpendicular lines, consecutive angles,
alternate interior angles, corresponding angles, vertical angles, alternate exterior angles,
same-side interior angles
Your city will consist of:
1. At least six (6) streets parallel to each other.
Each street should be named for reference.
(each street must be named)
2. At least Two (2) transversal streets (Two
more streets that intersect all six of the above
streets). These should be named as well. Do not
make the transversals parallel to each other!!
(each street must be named)
3. One (1) street perpendicular to one of the
transversals. (each street must be named).
4. Traffic lights or stop signs at 4 different
intersections.
5. The following buildings must be placed as directed. All buildings must be given names
using signs either on or near the building. No two buildings may occupy the same corner.
a.Sketch a house and a school on a pair of consecutive interior angles.
b.Sketch a bank and a post office on a pair of corresponding angles.
c.Sketch a grocery (or general store) and an electronics store on a pair of alternate interior angles.
d.Sketch a movie theater and a pet shop on a pair of alternate exterior angles.
e.Sketch a sheriffs office/courthouse halfway between the bank and the post office.
f.Sketch a restaurant and a gas station creating a linear pair or a supplementary angle.
g.Sketch a fire department and hospital on a pair of vertical angles.
h.Sketch a Park at a location of your choice (name the park).
i. Sketch at Least 2 other buildings or location sites of your choice
*Also include a map legend, key, and a compass rose on your design*
