 * Title/Name:** Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
 * Course & Topic:** Geometry- Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
 * What does your topic mean?** My unit will explore the characteristics and aspects of lines, parallel lines, and perpendicular lines. Also, the comparisons and differentiations between the categories will be explored in detail.
 * What kinds of problems will your students solve?** My students will be able to create equations that are both parallel and perpendicular to given lines as well as being able to notice the similarities and characteristics required to construct parallel and perpendicular lines. They will also be able to solve problems with parallel lines cut by a transversal in terms of solving for measurements of angles.
 * What's the relevance of this kind of math problem?** The relevance of this type of math problem is very applicable because very often in real world parallel lines are observed and often cut by a straight line. Also, parallel and perpendicular lines occur often in both math and real world.
 * What are your current thoughts regarding the use of technology to help teach this topic?** I think that the use of technology in this topic is crucial because it allows students to explore many different examples in a short amount of time as well as the different characteristics of graphs.
