Lesson Planning of Parallel Lines
Subject Mathematics
Grade 5th
Students` Learning Outcomes
- Recognize parallel and non-parallel lines.
- Draw a parallel line to a given straight line using a set-square.
- Draw a line which passes through a given point and is parallel to a given line.
Information
for Teachers
- Lines
that lie in the same plane and don`t meet one another are said to be parallel
lines.
Material
/ Resources
Writing
board, chalk / marker, duster, straws, pebbles, wooden geometry box, textbook
Introduction
- Recall
the concept of line and tell that there are some lines which never meet and
never touch each other. They are called parallel lines. When curiosity rose
present the following.
- 1. Take
two straws and place them in position to show straight parallel lines.
- 2. Take
some pebbles and arrange them on floor / table in curvy parallel lines and
finally draw similar figures on board and tell that parallel lines never meet
or cut each other.
- 3. Draw
a pair of parallel lines in the middle of the board and invite students to come
and extend the drawing to see if the ever met?
- 4. Let
the whole class do it on their notebooks and check if they meet?
(This will help and give you a clue for going ahead)
- Ask the students if they can name some parallel lines from their
surroundings, Such as;
Lines on highway,
Railroad tracks
Lines in their notebooks
- Then repeat; Parallel Lines:
- Two lines (that go on forever) beside each other that never intersect or touch each other.
- Ask: what would happen if railway tracks were not parallel? (Expected answer would be as; The train-
wheels would not find the track to be fixed in and move, hence the train would
derail)
- Discuss parallel lines in given letters: H, N, W
(One pair, one pair, two pair)
- Present the following parallel line patterns on chart paper or on the board.
Development
Activity 1
- Ask how many of them can draw parallel lines like above? And then give them some time to try.
- Share with them that they can draw parallel lines by using a ruler and a set-square.
- Demonstrate the following steps on the board. First describe the step
verbally, make the students repeat and then draw on the board. the steps are as
follows:
