This project can be used as a formative assessment or as an alternative project for students to show their comprehension of the vocabulary and angles formed when parallel lines are cut by a transversal.

I have included the rubric, built into the project for student self-assessment and reflection before turning in their finished product.

This assignment is aligned to the Common Core Standard 8.G.5 for eighth grade geometry. For additional differentiation, students could be challenged to draw and measure their angles using a protractor. They could also be asked to explain the angle relationships as congruent or supplementary as a way to model the mathematical practices: Model with mathematics, use appropriate tools strategically, attend to precision, and look for and make use of structure.

With my students, I have found that they enjoy the opportunity to show what they know through the use of artistic representations--often, I get more effort and quality when students have the element of choice and creativity.

May your students express with success!
