Parallel and Perpendicular Lines: Label the Lines

Try differentiating between parallel and perpendicular lines with this appealing worksheet! An explanation at the top of the page reminds students that parallel lines are the same distance apart and will never meet, while perpendicular lines cross each other at a right angle. Students can reference this explanation as they look at pairs of lines in different orientations and identify if they are parallel or perpendicular. 

Intended for second and third graders, this worksheet is a great introduction to an important geometry concept. As students begin to learn more about geometry, they will find their knowledge of parallel and perpendicular lines can prove helpful both in the classroom and in their everyday lives! Gaining an early understanding of these concepts can give them an advantage later on.
