- Discussion terms: lines, angles, and flip, turn,
slide, perpendicular, parallel, intersecting.
- Open Microsoft Word and use the Draw
toolbar (View>Toolbars> Drawing)
to create lines and angles and other geometric
shapes using the tools and buttons.
- Use the Draw>Rotate or
Flip menu items on the
Draw toolbar, or the Free
Rotate tool on the draw toolbar to
rotate and flip the shapes.
- Use the text tool to identify: angles;
perpendicular, parallel and intersecting lines;
and flip horizontal, vertical, and rotate. To
create a text box click on the black and white "A"
button (next to the circle button) on the
toolbar, click next to your shape, then start
typing. As long as the text box is selected
you can change the words, font, style, color,
etc.
- Save your work and print one copy to turn in.
