Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal Pixel Art | Triangle Sum Theorem | Vertical

Overview

I created this engaging pixel art activity for middle school math, perfect for eighth graders tackling geometry. With 24 questions, your students will practice finding angles in parallel lines cut by a transversal and apply the triangle sum theorem—all on Google Sheets. They’ll reveal fun winter-themed images as they work, keeping them motivated in the classroom or at home. Plus, there's an optional printable PDF for extra practice. It aligns with standards like CCSS 8.G.A.5, making it a valuable addition to your curriculum!

Why you'll love this

Make geometry and angles review and practice a blast with this self-checking digital pixel art activity. Includes 2 Google Sheets with 24 questions total to practice finding angles in parallel lines cut by a transversal and with the triangle sum theorem. Each correct answer reveals part of cocoa and gingerbread images perfect for winter, Christmas, and January. Plus, there’s an optional printable PDF worksheet to show work on paper if desired. Easy to assign virtual or in-person, and with Google Classroom.

Standards covered…

✅ CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.8.G.A.5 "Use informal arguments to establish facts about the angle sum and exterior angle of triangles, about the angles created when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and the angle-angle criterion for similarity of triangles. For example, arrange three copies of the same triangle so that the sum of the three angles appears to form a line, and give an argument in terms of transversals why this is so."
