Perpendicular and Parallel Lines
Recognise perpendicular and parallel lines, then draw them with a ruler and a set square.
Your child learns to recognise perpendicular lines, which meet at a right angle, and parallel lines, which stay the same distance apart and never meet. They check a right angle with the corner of a set square and count grid squares to compare the gap at both ends. Then they draw each kind of line through a given point with a ruler and a set square, and mark it. Read the study guide →
About this chapter
These Primary 3 perpendicular and parallel lines questions start with recognising the two kinds of line pairs: lines that meet at a right angle and lines that stay the same distance apart. Your child then learns to draw each one through a given point with a ruler and a set square, and the chapter ends with mixed practice.
Practise by question type: identifying parallel and perpendicular lines, drawing perpendicular lines with a set square, drawing parallel lines with a set square and p3 parallel and perpendicular lines mixed practice.

Primary 3 Perpendicular and Parallel Lines Study Guide
Lines that meet at a right angle, and lines that never meet. Four steps where a set square checks and draws each kind, then worked examples and a five-question check.
