Alternate and Corresponding Angles WORKSHEET
Alternate and Corresponding Angles WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Spotting corresponding and alternate angles on parallel lines can be tricky for many students. This stripped back worksheet focuses on identifying corresponding and alternate angles rather than calculating missing angles.
Sections A and B consist of the same five diagrams of pairs of parallel lines and a transversal. On each diagram, students will identify one pair of corresponding or alternate angles in section A and B respectively. Answers may vary here, providing a good opportunity for discussion with your student or class.
In section C, a diagram is made up of five parallel lines and two transversals with each angle labeled with a letter. Students will list pairs of corresponding and alternate angles from this diagram, meaning students have to look at the same angles from multiple perspectives and ensure they do not confuse angles on transversals with angles on parallel lines.
