Learning Objectives: Students will be able to identify pairs of angles.
Prerequisite Knowledge: Students should know what parallel lines are. Students should know what a point, line, and plane are.
Motivational Problem: See diagram in "Other resources".
Key Ideas: Which angle pairs are congruent? Which angle pairs are supplementary?
Important Questions: What are corresponding angles? What are alternate interior angles? What are alternate exterior angles? What are consecutive interior angles? What are supplementary angles? What makes angles congruent?
