Parallel and Perpendicular Lines in the World Around Us

Identify real-world examples of parallel and perpendicular lines with this engaging fourth-grade geometry worksheet! Lines are everywhere around us—they can be found on street signs, windows, and train tracks. This activity features nine different everyday objects, each with a pair of highlighted lines. Students will review each object to determine whether the highlighted lines are parallel or perpendicular, circling the correct answer.

This worksheet is a great way to help fourth graders to strengthen their foundational geometry skills, while also learning to apply their knowledge to the world around them. Being able to correctly identify parallel and perpendicular lines in a variety of contexts will prepare learners to master more complex concepts later on.
