Common Core Aligned Lesson Plan
Subject: Geometry
Unit: Lines and Transversals
Week: 5
Teacher: Mr. Ives
LESSON ELEMENT: Parallel and Perpendicular Slope
Common Core Learning Standards Addressed:
Grade: 10-11
Day: 2
Rocinante High School
STUDENT-FRIENDLY TRANSLATION
G-GPE.05 (Prove the slope criteria for parallel and perpendicular lines and use them to solve geometric problems (e.g., find the equation of a line parallel or perpendicular to a given line that passes
through a given point).)
Learning Goals and Objectives: (What will students know & be able
to do as a result of this lesson?)
The student will be able to find teh lsope of a line given two
points and determine if linear equations in the form of Y-MX+B are
parallel or perpendicular.
I can find the slope of a
line given two points and
identify parallel and
perpendicular slopes.
Vocabulary Support: (What vocabulary will student need for this
lesson?)
parallel lines, transversal, corresponding angles, postulate,
alternative interior angles, consecutive interior angles (or same
side interior angles), and perpendicular lines.
I understand the words
parallel and perpendicular
and negative reciprocal.
Formative Assessment Criteria for Success: (What does success on
this lesson’s outcomes look like?)
The student will be able to find the slope of a line given two points
and identify parallel and perpendicular slopes.
The student will complete the assignment with a rubric of 7 or
higher.
All notes and diagrams will be complete in their data folder.
I will find the slope of a
line given two points.

Common Core Aligned Lesson:
Reflection
- The Slope Formula is strange looking for the students, they need to have is broken down into chunks.
- The greatest common mistake made by students is that they misplace the correct X or Y value.
- The word "Negative Reciprocal" will not be in their vocabulary.
∆ Have students take a couple of seconds to LABEL the points before beginning.
