Geometry Thursday!

Good morning everyone! I love Thursdays!! Since they are my day off from tutoring (which I also love) I get to spend time with my daughter after school   And what better way to start off the day than with a little Geometry, which is something ELSE we all love right?! Well, I know from experience that a lot of students really don’t like Geometry…mainly because it is so different from all of the other math they have done up until Geometry. I’m going to do my best to make it seem easier for you guys though!

 

I again have students in both Regular Geometry and Honors Geometry so I will record videos to help with both. The honors class moves at a faster pace and has longer, more complicated proofs.

 

My students in Regular Geometry have just started learning how to prove triangles congruent using SSS, SAS, and ASA. My video below shows two of those types of proofs…

 

 

My honors students have recently been working on proofs which involve the equidistance theorem. I picked a proof that uses the equidistance theorem and which also has a detour in it (that’s the kind where you have to prove one pair of triangles congruent before moving onto the pair of triangles which you ultimately want congruent)…

 

 

Tune in next Thursday for some more Geometry. Tomorrow we will finish off the week with Algebra!
