image of a rectangle with 4 lines drawn inside. First line goes from lower left corner to top right corner. Second line goes from lower right corner to top left corner. Third line goes vertically through the middle of the rectangle through the point of intersection of the previous two lines. The lower half darken. Fourth line goes from bottom right corner to the middle of the top side.
Write a description of the drawing that could be used by a classmate to make a copy.
Show Solution
Sample response: Draw two diagonal lines: one from the top left corner to the bottom right, and another from the bottom left corner to the top right. Draw a line that goes up and down through the point where the two diagonal lines cross. From the top of that line, draw a line to the bottom right corner. The bottom segment of the up-and-down line is thicker than the rest of the lines. The lines make a lot of triangles of different sizes.
Lesson 2
Points, Lines, Rays, and Segments
True or False: What’s the Point?
Decide if each statement is true or false. If it is false, correct it.
A point marks a place.
This is a drawing of a ray.
A line can be curved or straight.
This is a drawing of a segment.
The length of a ray can be measured.
Show Solution
True
True
False. A line is always straight.
False. Sample responses:
A line segment is a part of a line and has two endpoints.
The drawing shows a line or two rays pointing in opposite directions.
This is a drawing of a segment:
False. A ray goes on forever in one direction so the length cannot be measured.
Lesson 3
Two or More Lines
Parallel and Not Quite Parallel
Explain why these lines are not parallel.
Sketch a line that is parallel to this line.
Show Solution
Sample responses:
The two lines get closer to each other in one direction. If we extend them, they eventually will intersect.
The two lines are not the same distance apart everywhere. The gap between the two lines is noticeably wider on one side and narrower on the other, so the two lines will cross if they’re extended.

What Is an Angle?
Spot the Angles
Jada says Figure A shows an angle, but Figure B does not. Do you agree? Explain your reasoning.
Mark the angles in each letter, and draw the rays to show each angle.

Show Solution
Yes. Sample responses: Figure A is made up of two rays with the same starting point. Figure B is a continuous curve, so it doesn’t count as an angle.

Each has one ray pointing in a different direction.

A
B
Show Solution
60∘. Sample response: Every time the minute hand moves from one number to the next, it turns 30∘. The angle between the hands is 2 numbers apart, so it is 2×30, which is 60.
150∘. Sample responses:
5×30=150

Angle C and the 135∘ angle together make a straight angle, which is 180∘, so the measure of C is 180−135, which is 45∘.
Angle D, the right angle, and the 135∘ angle make 360∘. 90+135=225 and 360−225=135, which is 135∘.

Problem 3
What are the measurements of Angles A and B if all of the angles add up to 180 degrees? Explain or show your reasoning.
Show Solution
Angle A is 90∘ because the rays that create the angle are perpendicular.
Angle B is 15∘ because six of them make a 90∘ angle (180−90=90), so each of them is 90÷6 or 15 degrees.
