Where it is taught, with guided notes, practice, homework, an exit ticket and an interactive Teacher Deck.

Examples

  • If one co-interior angle is 110°, the other is 70° (110+70 = 180).
  • Also called same-side interior angles.

Key rule

Co-interior angles are supplementary — they add to 180°.

Memory hook

Same side, inside the lines, add to 180°.
