A Varied Intersecting, Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Worksheet Set

Help students master key geometric concepts with this engaging intersecting, parallel and perpendicular lines worksheet set. Designed to build a strong foundation in understanding different types of lines, this set includes five diverse worksheets that encourage students to apply their knowledge in various ways. With a mix of activities that promote both visual recognition and critical thinking, this resource is perfect for reinforcing geometric terminology and concepts. The worksheets include:

• Parallel Lines – Circle the pairs of lines that are parallel.
• Perpendicular Lines – Circle the pairs of lines that are perpendicular.
• Intersecting Lines – Circle the pairs of lines that are intersecting.
• Classify Lines – Write whether the lines shown are intersecting, perpendicular or parallel.
• Advanced Line Identification – Identify and label line pairs in an image as intersecting, perpendicular or parallel.

This intersecting, parallel and perpendicular lines worksheet set is a great resource for reinforcing geometric concepts in the classroom or at home!

Supplement This Parallel, Perpendicular and Intersecting Lines Worksheet Set 

In addition to using this parallel, perpendicular, and intersecting lines worksheet set, try some of the activities below to engage your students in learning about lines.

1. Line Scavenger Hunt – Direct students to fold a piece of lined paper into thirds. Then, take them on a scavenger hunt around the classroom or school, searching for parallel, perpendicular and intersecting lines, listing what they find in corresponding columns. 
2. Types-of-Lines Workout – Ask students to stand up and stand arms-length apart. Call out a type of line pair and have students create it with their arms. Increase the difficulty by turning it into a ‘Simon-Says’-type activity!
3. Partner Line Draw – Partner students and give each pair a whiteboard and each student a whiteboard marker. Call out a type of line. The first student draws one line on the whiteboard, and the second draws a partner line to create the type of line pair you called. 

You can also turn this intersecting, parallel and perpendicular lines worksheet set into a sorting game by cutting out the line pairs and asking students to sort them into ‘like lines’ piles!
