Lines - Worksheet
Maths Resource Description
This worksheet is designed to help students understand and identify different types of lines within shapes. The first question requires students to count and record the number of vertical (V) and horizontal (H) lines present in each of the given shapes. By carefully examining each shape, students will be able to distinguish between vertical lines, which run up and down, and horizontal lines, which run from side to side, and note their quantities.
The second task on the worksheet is an interactive exercise where students must circle the shapes that contain perpendicular lines. Perpendicular lines are those that intersect at a right angle (90 degrees), and this activity helps students recognize right angles within various shapes. Lastly, the third question challenges students to identify and count the pairs of parallel sides in a series of shapes. Parallel sides are lines that are the same distance apart and will never meet, no matter how long they are extended. This part of the worksheet is aimed at enhancing students' ability to spot parallelism in two-dimensional figures.
