Aligned Standard

M.EE.4.G.1: Recognize parallel lines and intersecting lines.

Grade Level Standard

This is aligned with the following California State Standards:

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

Linkage Level Descriptions

Initial Precursor

Recognize attributes or characteristics of an object, such as color, orientation, length, width, and weight.

Distal Precursor

Recognize a point as a precise location on a plane or in space, usually represented by a dot.

Proximal Precursor

Recognize a line as a straight line that extends infinitely in two directions, and recognize a line segment as a part of a line with two end points.

Target

Recognize intersecting lines or line segments as those that have at least one point in common, and recognize parallel lines or line segments as those that are equal distance apart.

Successor

Recognize perpendicular lines or line segments as those that intersect each other at a 90-degree angle. Recognize parallel line segments in a two-dimensional figure such as a square or rectangle (e.g., opposite sides of a square or rectangle are parallel).
