Increase understanding of the algebraic properties and their importance. Scholars justify their steps as they simplify expressions and solve equations. They formalize their work as two-column proof.

Prove the best way to keep up in Geometry. Scholars first review algebraic properties from Algebra. Learners then use the properties to create two-column proofs to solve linear equations before completing algebraic proofs by providing...

The proof is in the review. Individuals watch a short review of the content from the unit to prepare for the unit exam. The review covers inductive reasoning, conditional and related statements, and two-column algebraic and geometric...

Is this enough to show the two triangles are congruent? Small groups work through different combinations of constructing triangles from congruent parts to determine which combinations create only congruent triangles. Participants use the...

Students investigate proofs used to solve geometric problems. In this geometry lesson, students read about the history behind early geometry and learn how to write proofs correctly using two columns. The define terminology valuable to...

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...

Logical thinking is at the forefront of this jam-packed lesson, with young mathematicians not only investigating geometric concepts but also how they "know what they know". Through each activity and worksheet, learners wrestle with...

In this verifying segment relationships worksheet, 10th graders solve two proofs by following the same format used in algebra. They complete each of two proofs by naming the property that justifies each statement given. Students also...

Students define inductive and deductive reasoning and write two column proofs. In this geometry instructional activity, students analyze arguments and draw conclusion. They define steps necessary to arrive at the correct answer when...

What connection does the quadratic formula have with a quadratic equation? Using a matching activity, pupils construct the algebraic derivation of the quadratic formula in this Algebra II lesson task. The task provides two variations of...

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...

Patterns, patterns, everywhere! Young scholars examine the multiplication table to identify patterns. Their exploration leads to an understanding of the difference of squares and sum of cubes by the completion of the algebra project.

In this integers worksheet, students solve 1 word problem using proof.  Students prove their hypothesis of the result of multiplying four consecutive positive integers and adding one to the product.

Prompt scholars to complete a magic square using only variables. Then they can attempt to solve a numerical magic square using algebra.
