===Process (How to do the activity)===
How to do the different steps of the activity?
+
* Prior hands on activity: Draw two lines which are parallel in the file to ask will these lines meet.
 
+
* Use the file to seek the initial observations from children – if the lines will ever meet
What kinds of questions you can ask for that activity
+
* Is it possible for two lines to never meet.
 
+
* How do you know if they will meet at certain point?
What are the student follow-up activities/ questions you can give?
+
* Drag the screen on either sides to show the two lines never meet.
 
+
* Inquire if measuring the distance between the two lines will determine if the lines will meet.
Categories: (Subject) (Topic) (Sub-concept/topic) (Class 6) (Resource format)
+
* Plot two points on the lines and join them
 
+
* Draw two parallel lines
Example -  (Mathematics) (Triangle) (Area) (Perimeter) (Class 6) (Class 8) (Geogebra) (Video)
+
* What do you notice about these lines
 +
* Note the distance between the two lines
 +
* Introduce concept of transversal : Draw two lines with transversal – how can you say that the two lines are parallel.
 +
* For the parallel lines identify the interior region and exterior region.
 +
* '''Evaluation at the end of the activity'''
