Welcome Back to A New

Week!
Ms. Liotta’s Geometry Class
What is In-store for the week?

Monday: Angles
Tuesday: Lines
Wednesday: Finding angles within lines
Thursday: Constructing Proofs
Friday: Using Proofs to find angles
By The End Of The Week...
We should be able to construct proofs about finding unknown
angles that are created through parallel lines and a transversal
Monday: Let’s learn about angles!
Learning Goals
Take out a sheet of paper and answer one of the following questions on the piece
of paper:

1. What is the difference between an acute and an obtuse angle?

2. How can I determine if two angles are complementary or supplementary?
Do Now: BRAIN DUMP
Take 2-3 Minutes to write down anything that you know
about angles.
Angle Vocab
Angle - An angle is the space between two lines,
at or close to where the lines meet. This is
measured in degrees. The can range anywhere
from 0 to 360 degrees. Angles are never a
negative number.

Right angle - A right angle is an angle that

measures exactly 90 degrees
Angle Vocab - Continued
Acute Angle - An acute angle is a small
angle that is greater than 0 degrees but
less than 90 degrees

Obtuse Angle - An angle is a larger

angle whose measure is greater than 90
degrees but less than 180 degrees.

Straight Angle - A straight angle is an

angle that forms a straight line (180
degrees)
More Definitions
-Angles Around a Point - Angles that are
around a point are similar to angles in a
circle, they have a total of 360 degrees.

-Complementary Angle - Two or more

angles that form a right angle (90 degrees)

-Supplementary Angle - Two or more angles

that form a straight line (180 degrees)
What to Do When Dealing With These Angles
When given a variable, and certain angles, depending on the type of angle you
have, use addition or subtraction to solve for the missing angle. Remember these
key points:

-Angles Around a Point - The sum of all of the angles must be 360°

-Complementary Angle - The sum of all these angles must be 90°

-Supplementary Angle - The sum of all these angels must be 180°.

What is Congruence?
In geometry, two figures or objects are congruent if they have the same shape and
size, or if one has the same shape and size as the mirror image of the other.

What does this mean for angles to be congruent?

Two angles are congruent if they both have the same degree measurement.
Practice!

Find the values of the

missing angles. If you
are struggling, feel free
to talk to a neighbor if
you need help!
Answers!
Check your answers with
these following solutions,
raise your hand if you have
any questions or need
clarification on anything.
Homework Assignment

Complete the 3 part homework assignment and be ready to

hand it in tomorrow at the beginning of class.
Help Out a Friend
Raise your hand and summarize this lesson in a few
sentences in a way that you would explain it to a classmate
who was absent for the day.
Tuesday: Let’s learn about lines!
Turn and Talk

Turn and talk to your neighbor about anything that you

know about lines.
Do Now:
Answer the following question in your notebook and be ready to
share with the class your response.
What is congruence?
What are Lines? Line Segments?
● A line is infinite lengths, it is the set of all points between and beyond two
given points
● A line segment is a portion of a line. The length is finite and is determined by
the distance between the two endpoints

↔ Line
AB Notation
 Lines: Parallel vs. Perpendicular
Parallel Lines:
Perpendicular Lines:
● Lines on the same plane
● Lines that cross
● NEVER touch
● Intersect each other, forming a
● Always stay the same distance
right angle (90 degrees)
apart from each other
● Denoted: AB ⊥ DC
● Denoted: AB || DC
Just Intersecting Lines?
● Two or more lines that meet at one point and just cross each other
● Denoted AB intersect CD
Congruence With Lines
Two lines are congruent if they are equal in length, an
example for how to denote congruent lines is shown below.

The two lines cutting into the line

segments denote they are
congruent to one another
What if a line is split?
A transversal is a line that passes through and intersects a system of lines on a
given plane at two distinct points.
Practice Time!
Write down the definitions of the following terms. Once you have done that, write
how you can denote the term symbolically, and finish by drawing an example. Be
ready to discuss after about 5-7 minutes!
Line -
Line Segment -
Parallel Lines -
Perpendicular Lines -
Intersecting Lines -
Solutions
Check your
answers with the
following
solutions. Note
that your lines
do not need to
look the exact
same, but they
need to be
similar.
Exit Ticket
On the sheet of paper, take a few minutes to construct the following
a. A set of parallel lines XY || RZ
b. A set of perpendicular lines QR ⊥ TS
c. A set of intersecting lines SW intersect AN
Think Back!
Think back to what we learned today, and let’s have a group
discussion about the following question!
What is the difference between parallel, perpendicular, and
intersecting lines?
Wednesday: Let’s find missing angles
within lines!
Have you Ever?

Raise your hand if you have ever found an angle in between lines
before. This will help us understand where we are at with this topic.
Math Outside of the Classroom

Think about math and numbers that you have seen outside of the
classroom. Where can we see angels? What professions deal with
angles and lines?
Vocabulary!
Alternate Interior Angles - If two
parallel lines are cut by a
transversal, than the alternate
interior angles are congruent.
Alternate Exterior Angles - If two
parallel lines are cut by a
transversal, then the alternate
exterior angles are congruent.
Vocabulary Continued!
Same Side Interior Angles - If two parallel lines are cut by a
transversal, the interior angles on the same side of the transversal
are supplementary.
Vocabulary Continued!
Corresponding Angles - If two Vertical Angles - Vertical
parallel lines are cut by a angles are congruent.
transversal, then the pairs of
corresponding angles are
congruent.

days!
Snowstorm Activity!
Grab a piece of paper and on that paper, write down something that you
learned. When you are done, crumple up the paper. At the same time, we
will all throw our ‘snowballs’ up to the front of the classroom, and we
will take turns choosing a snowball and reading it outloud to the class.
Thursday: Are you ready to learn and
construct proofs?
Brainstorm Bomb

Take out a sheet of paper. Thinking back to yesterday’s

class, list as many of the different angle pairs as you can
remember.
Keep this Question In Mind!

What are the important things to know while

constructing a proof?
What is a proof?
A proof is a combination of logical mathematical arguments put together to prove a
mathematical statement to be true.

How do we write a proof?

A proof is written in a statement - reason format. You will generate a T chart and
write statements on one side reasonings on the other

Statements Reason
Important To Note
● When writing a proof, you want to make sure you always include what you are
given. Although the question might state the given, you need to restate them
and the reasoning for the statement can be written as - “Given”
● Make sure when writing your proof, you are giving the statements and
reasons corresponding numbers, so that the reader knows which statement
goes with which proof
Ultimate Goal

The ultimate goal when writing a proof is to prove

and show what is asked in the proposition / question.
What is a reason?
When writing a proof, the reasoning that corresponds to a statement can be any
theorem, or pairs of angles that we have learned about before.

Examples: Corresponding angles, Vertical Angles, Alternate Interior Angles,

Alternate Exterior Angles, Same Side Interior Angles, Supplementary Angles,
Complementary Angles

There are also important basic mathematical concepts that can be used as a
reason with the statement. We will look at these on the next slide.
Important Concepts To Note

Below are important

concepts to note that
can also be used as
reasoning for proofs.
Partner Up!
Get with a partner of your choice. You will be working together to solve the proofs
below. Find out what is missing to complete the proofs.
Answers!
Here are the answers to your group work, check over what your group had written
down and ask questions if you are confused.
Exit Ticket - QUIZ

We will now be taking a three question exit ticket quiz.

For Questions 1 & 2 : Fill in the missing reasons to complete the
proofs
For Question 3 : Identify the incorrect step in the proof and correct it.
Think Back!

Let’s look at the question that we saw and were told to

keep in mind from the beginning of class today.
What are the important things to know while constructing a proof?

Raise your hand if you would like to answer this question.

Friday: It’s time to use proofs to find angles!
Proving things, Math or Not

Have you ever had to prove something? If so what

were you proving? Feel free to raise your hand and
share experiences.
Remember Back To Yesterday’s Lesson

Take out a sheet of paper. Write down as many

things as you can remember about constructing a
proof.
Converse Time…..

We remember the different angles from Wednesday, but now

it is time to learn about converse that we can use in a
proof…..

These converses are used to prove that lines are parallel!

Same Side Interior
Angles Converse
If two lines are cut by a transversal
and the interior angles on the
same side of the transversal are
supplementary, the lines are
parallel.
Corresponding Angles
Converse
If two lines are cut by a transversal
and the corresponding angles are
congruent, the lines are parallel.
Alternate Interior Angles
Converse
If two lines are cut by a transversal
and the alternate interior angles
are congruent, then the lines are
parallel.
Alternate Exterior Angles
Converse
If two lines are cut by a transversal
and the alternate exterior angles
are congruent, then the lines are
parallel.
Group Work!
Get with a group of 2-3 people. Your group will work together to complete the proof
below.
Share Out!

Is there anyone who would like to come up to the board and write out
the proof that their group complete?
Solution
Weekend Homework Time!

Over the weekend, you will use the

knowledge that you learned today to
construct three proofs where you will be
entirely completing the proof. Think back
to what we have learned over this past
week and apply that knowledge when
making the proof.
Reflection Time!
