Parallel Lines

Students should be able to:

  • describe and identify parallel lines or segments in the environment.

What can you learn by looking at the letter H?

When we take the line out of the middle of the H, we see two lines that are the same distance apart and run forever but never intersect, or meet. When two lines run forever but never intersect they are called parallel lines.
