This year I am teaching a Study Skills class for the first time. All of my students in the class are sophomores, which means they are all taking Geometry. Recently, they're all learning about parallel lines, transversals and angle relationships and I have been finding that I really need a visual for them to reference.

UPDATE:  This digital version of the parallel lines and transversals poster has been added to the download. The file now includes printable color, printable black and white and digital on Google Slides. The digital version can be used as notes during teaching or sent to students as a digital reference and practice. It has movable, drag and drop angles that can be used to show the angle pairs. You can use both the printable and digital versions during your lessons on parallel line angle pairs by giving each student their own printable poster and using the digital version as notes.

I had made this poster a while ago, but it faded over the years. I wanted to make a visual that could be printed for students and in black and white. Math word walls have totally changed my teaching, but since I teach my Study Skills class in a classroom that is not my own, I needed to come up with something that could either be put in a notebook or on the wall. 


This coloring page uses patterns so can be printed in black and white. 


There is also a blank one for teachers who have time for their kids to color their own copy. 


I also included a full color version for teachers with color printers. 


This feedback of the posters totally made my day.

If you need an angle pairs poster for younger kids, the one below is included in my 7th grade math word wall - print and digital

UPDATE: The poster download now includes a link to this digital version that can be used for online learning. 


There is a full-color version of the poster and a black and white version (the one shown above) that students can color themselves.

This Geometry Word Wall - print and digital is a helpful reference for the many topics, concepts and vocabulary terms covered in Geometry.

To meet the needs of classrooms with technology, I've been making digital math escape rooms. This one here is a parallel lines cut by a transversal digital math escape room that covers naming angle pair relationships and solving for angle measures.

I love using task cards as a way to summarize learning. This set of parallel lines task cards covers all the angle pairs. Students are asked to name angle pairs, name the relationship between angles, solve for x, and find angle measures.

Another fun way to sum up a unit on parallel line angle pairs is with a pennant activity. This parallel lines cut by a transversal math pennant can be used as a fun activity, assessment, warm up or exit slip (each student gets one), homework, or even as sub work.

Students find the measures of angles that are corresponding, alternate interior, vertical, same-side interior, alternate exterior and supplementary and then hang their work as class decor.
