Task 1
a) Explore: Can you make the two angles the same? in the box below ?(if you drag the dots around you will see the shape changing)
b) Conjecture: Discuss what needs to happen for the angles to be equal
c) Conjecture: Answer Question 1 on the answers form
d) Convince: Can you explain why these angles are the same? Discuss, then answer Question 2 on the answers form.
Write a note in your learning journal! : Axiom 1: This arrangement of lines and angles is called "Corresponding Angles"
We can now say that Corresponding Angles on parallel lines are always_______" Draw 2 examples of Corresponding angles on parallel lines

Task 2
Look at the Geogebra box below:
a) Explore When you move a black or purple line, think how it moves: Answer Question 3 in the answer form
b) Conjecture What can you say about how the lines are arranged? Question 4 in the answer form
b) Conjecture: Use the red and blue dots to move the lines around. Can you identify and angles that are always equal ?:
c) Explore: Using coloured pens and sheet 1, colour angles that are the same size with the same colour.
Extension: Are the angles always the same size when the lines are moved around with the blue and red dots? What changes and what stays the same?
d) Extension: Conjecture: What would make the angles not be the same any more? (type your answer in Question 5 on the Answer form)
