Max Maths, Year 5, Work Book, Parallel lines

In the Max Maths Year 5 Workbook, students are given practice exercises on understanding and drawing parallel lines. Practice 4 presents tasks that require the use of a set square and a ruler to accurately draw and identify parallel lines. The first activity instructs students to draw a line parallel to another line and label them accordingly. For example, students are asked to draw a line and label it so that line AB is parallel to line CD. This exercise helps students to visualise and reinforce the concept of parallelism in lines.

The workbook continues with further drawing tasks, where students must create multiple sets of parallel lines, such as drawing and labelling two lines so that EF is parallel to GH, which in turn is parallel to IJ. Another task involves drawing two lines parallel to each other with a third line also parallel to the first pair. Additionally, students are challenged to draw a four-sided shape that has two pairs of parallel lines, enhancing their understanding of shapes with parallel sides. The second part of the practice involves checking given pairs of lines to determine whether they are parallel, using a set square and ruler for verification. Students are presented with pairs of lines and must indicate with a 'Yes' or 'No' whether each pair is parallel, further solidifying their ability to recognise parallel lines in various orientations and contexts.
