Common Core Standards:

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.G.A.1: Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures.

Targeted Needs of Student:

Comparing and contrasting different types of lines, understanding rays, segments, and never-ending lines, finding examples of each type of line

Goal:

To provide students with a reference of different types of lines

Materials Needed:

1.      Scissors

2.      Paper

3.      Markers

Explanation/Summary:

Students will fold a piece of paper over long-ways and then cut three flaps on the front side of the paper. On the outside of the paper, they will draw a never-ending line with two arrows on the ends. Then in the inside of the flap, they will draw a line segment with two dots on the ends. Now students should be able to manipulate the flaps to show rays, line segments, etc. Under the middle flap they can draw a perpendicular line. Each flap will have examples of how to write each type of line.
