Instructional Ideas

  • Create collaborative groups to complete the set of six proofs, with one proof for each group to put on the board for analysis

Classroom Considerations

  • Provide guidance through the completion of the proofs to improve confidence
  • Create fill-in-the blank proofs or envelop proofs to build confidence before attempting the proofs individually
  • Previous experience with basic triangle congruence proofs is required

Pros

  • The proofs provided have a progressive level of difficulty

Cons

  • Guidance for instruction is not provided; the content of the lesson is six proofs to be completed individually
