About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students tell whether two lines are parallel, perpendicular, or intersecting but not perpendicular.
  • Students sort shapes by whether they have parallel sides, perpendicular sides, and right angles.
  • Students classify triangles as acute, right, or obtuse by their angles.

How to use

Use after teaching parallel and perpendicular lines and angle types. Give each student an index card to test corners for right angles.

Curriculum

Common Core standard covered

Shape Hunt on the Town Map

Sort streets and shapes by parallel lines, perpendicular lines, and angles.

Streets and corners

Each street on the map is drawn as a line. Look at how the lines meet.

1.
Main Street is line AB. River Road is line CD.ABCD
Word bank: parallel · perpendicular

Main Street and River Road are   lines.

2.
Park Lane is line PQ. School Street is line RS.PQRS
Word bank: parallel · perpendicular

Park Lane and School Street are   lines.

3.
Pine Avenue is line EF. Hill Street is line GH. Which sentence is true?EFGH
  • A. The streets are parallel. They never meet.
  • B. The streets are perpendicular. They meet at right angles.
  • C. The streets cross, but not at right angles.
4.
Two bike paths meet at corner K.JKL
Word bank: acute · right · obtuse

Angle JKL is a(n)   angle.

Lots on the map

Each lot on the map has a shape. Use the picture of Lots A to F for every question in this part.

Look at the 4 angles of Lot D. How many of each kind does it have?

Right angles:  
Acute angles:  
Obtuse angles:  

8.
Only one lot has no parallel sides and no right angles. Which lot is it?

Sort the buildings

Sort shapes by their sides and angles. Turn your paper or use the corner of a card to check for right angles.

  • A. It has exactly 1 pair of parallel sides.
  • B. It has 4 right angles.
  • C. It has 2 obtuse angles.
  • D. It has 2 pairs of perpendicular sides.
  • E. It has 2 acute angles.
12.
Nia says this sign is not a right triangle because its right angle is not at the bottom. Is Nia correct? Explain.
