Geometric City - ASSIGNMENT
Your first assessment task for this unit involves creating your own geometric city. This city is to be designed on a piece of A3 paper, and unfortunately the person in charge of what the city should have (ME!) is a little fussy. You will find your design brief HERE.
It lists everything that your city must contain. It also contains a list of other things I would really like to see you try and include. This extra list included things that we haven't explicitly studied together this year, but rather things you would have done in Year Five, and things you will do in Year Eight. This means you might need to do a little research to include them. It is nothing tricky or hard, and I have included two different places where you will find the words you might not know.
HERE is an online geometry dictionary, and HERE is a glossary that might be helpful.
You will have time today, and Monday to work on this in class, whatever is not finished then will become homework. This is due on Thursday 7th of August, which coincidentally is the date of your test.

Angles and Parallel Lines Test
Your test for this unit will be on Thursday 7th of August. Everyone has worked really hard in class, and I expect most people to breeze through the test. Below you will find a list of things you must know how to do to succeed at your test.
Terminology.
You should be able to define the following words, and where appropriate label a diagram, or locate the proper angles on a set of parallel lines. You should also be able to give me the angle relationship (eg. both co-interior angles add to 180º):
You should be able to define the following words, and where appropriate label a diagram, or locate the proper angles on a set of parallel lines. You should also be able to give me the angle relationship (eg. both co-interior angles add to 180º):
Complementary Angle
Corresponding Angle (F) |
Supplementary Angle
Alternate Angle (Z) |
Right Angle
Parallel Lines |
Co-interior Angle (C)
Transversal |
Labelling the angle relationships.
As I said above, if I give you a set of parallel lines cut by a transversal, you should be able to locate the co-interior angles, the corresponding angles and the alternate angles.
Find the value of the missing angles.
You will be given both triangle and quadrilaterals with missing angles, you will be asked to find the value of the missing angle, if you remember all angles inside a triangle add to 180º and all angle inside a quadrilateral add to 360º you will be fine.
You will also be given some sets of parallel lines cut by a transversal, you will need to use your knowledge of angles relationships to find the missing angle. Please remember that a straight equals 180º and what you have angles on the opposite side of an X shape, they equal the same angle!
Proving that the angles in a triangle equal a flat, and a quadrilateral equal a revolution.
