Types of Lines Song

You'll be amazed as you stream this math music video about types of lines, in that it is as entertaining as it is informative. Your students will be singing & dancing, all the while learning or reinforcing the knowledge of parallel, perpendicular, and intersecting lines.

Types of Lines Lyrics:

You’ll find lines that are perpendicular
On a rectangle’s perimeter.
Or let’s break it down even simpler:
They make right angles in particular.

Parallel lines never meet;
Intersecting lines make v’s;
Perpendicular lines meet at 90 degrees;
Put your hands in the air with me!!

Parallel... intersecting... perpendicular... are rectangular!

Now, let’s talk about detecting
If two lines are intersecting.
It’s the name that we select
If at any point two lines connect.

Parallel lines never meet;
Intersecting lines make v’s;
Perpendicular lines meet at 90 degrees;
Put your hands in the air with me!!

Chorus

When lines will never touch, then you can tell
That those two lines are parallel.
Like these telephone wires up above the street,
Parallel lines will never meet.
