Geometric Proofs: Two Column Proofs

Videos, worksheets, games and acivities to help Geometry students learn how to use two column proofs.

 

 

Two Column Proofs :
Two column proofs are organized into statement and reason columns. Each statement must be justified in the reason column. Before beginning a two column proof, start by working backwards from the "prove" or "show" statement. The reason column will typically include "given", vocabulary definitions, conjectures, and theorems.
