Administer this parallel and perpendicular lines quiz to assess your students’ ability to identify types of line pairs in a variety of settings.
A Comprehensive Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Quiz
Do you need a quick way to find out if your students understand basic line types? This two-page assessment on parallel, perpendicular and intersecting lines is perfect for students to demonstrate their grasp of basic geometry concepts. With a variety of problem types, it provides a well-rounded assessment of their skills. This parallel and perpendicular lines quiz includes the following tasks:
- Labelling pairs of lines as parallel, perpendicular or intersecting
- Completing a table that records the number of each type of line pair in various shapes
- Drawing pairs of parallel, perpendicular and intersecting lines
- Highlighting parallel lines in given shapes
- Writing an explanation of the differences between parallel, perpendicular and intersecting lines
An answer key is also included to make grading quick and easy. This parallel and perpendicular lines quiz is ideal for reinforcing line relationships and preparing students for more advanced geometry concepts!
Other Uses For These Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Problems
This resource was created for assessment, but of course, it can be used however you like in your classroom! Here are some other potential uses for these parallel and perpendicular lines problems:
- Exit Ticket – Give students one section of this assessment at the end of your lesson to assess their understanding.
- Independent Practice – Instead of using this parallel and perpendicular lines quiz to assess, use it to give students more practice identifying different line types.
- Review – Perhaps you plan on assessing this and other geometry skills in a larger, more comprehensive assessment. This resource can serve as a great review of line types to prepare students for the larger test.
