Tap every angle equal (or supplementary) to a given one, rotate the transversal until a named angle hits its target while only another angle reads live, and dial an unknown angle from the pair rule.
Two parallel lines cut by a transversal show eight numbered angles; the player taps every angle equal or supplementary to a given one, drags the transversal so a named angle reaches a target measure while only a different sensor angle reads live, and dials an unknown angle using the pair rule. It drills corresponding, alternate interior, alternate exterior and co-interior angles and finding unknown angles (8.G.5), and targets the misconception that any pair across the transversal is equal rather than deciding equal versus 180° minus from the pair's position. Best for Grades 7–8.
