Geometric Proof Teacher Resources

This visual, manipulative-based format for teaching geometric proofs nicely scafolds learners' development of mathematical reasoning and proof skills. This sample represents a proof of the congruence of vertical angles in four formats;...

Stuck trying to remember the formal language of a geometric proof? Never fear, this handout has them all ready to go. The reasons are sectioned by topic so this handy guide is ready when you are to tackle those two column proofs. 

Order in the court! Turn your geometry classroom into a courtroom and have your pupils defend their proofs. A fun and educational lesson allows both individual and group work with geometric proofs and group presentations in a court of...

In this geometry worksheet, students take the derivative of functions. They prove theorems using geometric proofs. There are 13 questions.

Proofs are usually an intimidating assignment. An engaging lesson focused on geometric proofs may reduce the anxiety! Pupils choose between several triangle proofs to complete and work on completing them. The assignment also gives a...

Cut straight to the proof. Given cutouts of different quadrilaterals, pupils draw diagonals. Learners cut up the figures along the diagonals to see whether they bisect each other. Scholars develop a geometric proof for the property they...

What do congruent triangles have to do with diagonals of a rhombus? Given a rhombus, pupils develop a proof showing that a diagonal bisects opposite angles. The learners use what they know about congruent triangles to create the...

Isosceles means two sides are congruent. Given an isosceles triangles, pupils develop a geometric proof showing that the two base angles are congruent. 

Here is a worksheet that lines up perfectly with the skills needed to finish a geometric proof. Eleven problems are given to see if learners can prove that lines are parallel or angles are congruent. 

Proving triangles are similar is often an exercise in applying one of the many theorems young geometers memorize, like the AA similarity criteria. But proving that the criteria themselves are valid from basic principles is a great...

Are you looking for a comprehensive review that addresses the Common Core standards for geometry? This is it! Instruction and practice problems built specifically for standards are included. The material includes geometry topics from...

High schoolers examine their prior knowledge of algebra to explore geometric proof. In this proving supplementary and complementary lesson, students prove a solution to an equation using algebraic properties. High schoolers then write...

Geometric figures are perfect to use for proofs. Scholars prove conjectures about whether given points lie on a triangle and about midpoints. They use a provided dialogue among fictional students to frame their responses.

Delving into a proof that the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other, this lecture evaluates the angles and sides of this figure. It would serve as a great test preparation activity.

After addressing the terminology used with medians and centroids of triangles in the first part of this series, the instructor shows how to solve this type of problem. He illustrates the concepts by using a high-level problem....
