Transversals and

Special Angles!

by Dimitra Georganas

To design your own city using parallel lines, transversals and special angles.

1) Your city may be designed by hand or by computer. Color and neatness will add to the total point value.

2) Your city design must be created on a poster board no larger than 11” x 14”.

3) Give your city a name and place it at the top of your city design.

4) Include the city’s population underneath the city name.

5) Your city must include the following in order to receive full credit:

- 6 parallel streets (each street must be named) - 3 transversal streets (each street must be named)

1) Your house and a restaurant

as alternate exterior angles,

2) a library and a general store

as alternate interior angles,

3) a gas station and a church

as corresponding angles ,

4) a school and a park

as same side interior angles , and

5) a courthouse and a bank

as vertical angles.

Title: One point will be given for the city name (school appropriate)

and the population, both of which are placed at the top of

the city design. One point will be given for the design being

placed on poster board up to a maximum size of 11”x14”.

(Possible points = 2)

Streets: One point will be given per parallel and transversal street,

placed correctly and labeled with school appropriate names.

(Possible points = 9)

Buildings: One point will be given per building, placed correctly and

labeled with school appropriate names.

(Possible points = 10)

Creativity: A total of four points may be given towards creativity,

neatness, effort, and overall presentation of design.
