Objectives: 1. Students will demonstrate their knowledge of parallel lines with a transversal.
2. Students will show when angles are congruent or supplementary given parallel lines and
a transversal.
Materials needed:
• Pencil
• Colored pencils or markers
• Ruler
• Paper (graph paper, if desired)
Overview:
For this project, each student will make his or her own street map for a fictional city (you must
name your city). This city will consist of:
1. At least five (5) streets that are parallel to each other. Each street should be named for
reference.
2. Two (2) transversal streets. (i. e., Two or more streets that intersect all of the above
streets). These should be named as well. Do not make the transversals parallel to each
other!!!
3. Traffic lights or stop signs at four (4) different intersections.
4. The following buildings, represented in your city:
a. Post office
b. Bank
c. Fire Department
d. Police Station
e. Gas Station
f. School
g. Restaurant
h. Grocery Store
i. Courthouse
j. Your own house

Instructions:
The point of this project is not to place these buildings anywhere, but to demonstrate your
understanding of different angles, as well as to understand when they are supplementary or
congruent. You can still be creative in doing so, but please place the buildings in the following
locations.
1. Your house and the school at congruent alternate interior angles.
2. The post office and the bank at same side interior angles/consecutive angles.
3. The fire department and police station at congruent alternate exterior angles.
4. The restaurant and courthouse at non-congruent alternate interior angles.
5. The gas station and grocery store at congruent corresponding angles.
6. Create two more places of your choice, place them on a pair of supplementary angles.
Remember to be creative. You may be as artistic as you would like in drawing the
buildings/roads, but be sure to label each one. You may add on to your diagram as long as it is
relevant and appropriate. (Creativity will earn extra points).
You should make a rough draft of your map before putting it on your good copy so you do not
need to go back and fix mistakes.
