The document defines and provides examples of parallel lines, perpendicular lines, skew lines, parallel planes, transversals, and the angle properties that exist when lines are cut by a transversal, including corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, and consecutive interior angles. It states that corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, and alternate exterior angles of parallel lines cut by a transversal are congruent, while consecutive interior angles and consecutive exterior angles are supplementary.

1. Parallel Lines & Transversals
The student is able to (I can):
• Identify parallel lines, perpendicular lines, skew lines, and
parallel planes
• Identify
– Transversals
– Corresponding angles
– Alternate Interior Angles
– Alternate Exterior Angles
– Consecutive Interior Angles
