Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Proofs may be as easy as 1, 2, 3 ... maybe. Pupils participate in creating four example proofs. The presentation uses a list of geometric properties to develop the proofs by filling in both the statements and reasons. Scholars practice writing their own proofs, concentrating mainly on algebraic proofs.
