Line Segments and Midpoints

Lines go on for ever. A line segment is what we normally draw on a piece of paper and it has two end points.

Line segments have a midpoint and various other points can be calculated along their length using ratio and mean averages.

When drawing line segments, it is important that you apply the pressure to the ruler as this is the thing that is likely to slip and spoil your diagram.

Vocabulary and Reflective Symmetry

Look at the meaning of perpendicular and parallel lines and then mark on lines of eflective symmetry to various polygons.

Angles and Parallel Lines

Looking at angles and parallel lines and how to determine the size of an angle. Uses a link from geogebra to investigate this as well.

Labelling Vertices and Lines

Look at labelling vertices and lines to help children to gain an understanding of how angles are labelled in diagrams.
