When learning about congruent figures in geometry, students learn how to label shapes with tick marks to show side and angle congruence. Though these beginning lessons on congruent figures may seem challenging for some students, teachers can help out in a variety of ways! So if you’re teaching congruent figures, we bring you a few […] The post Teaching Congruent Figures appeared first on GeometryCoach.com ..read more

After students familiarize themselves with congruent figures, they move on to triangle congruence by ASA and AAS. More specifically, they learn how to prove triangles are congruent using ASA and AAS. If you’re teaching this topic and wondering how to make these lessons accessible and exciting for your students – we’ve got you covered! Use […] The post Triangle Congruence by ASA and AAS appeared first on GeometryCoach.com ..read more

In geometry, students learn about perpendicular and angle bisectors. They become proficient in applying theorems about perpendicular bisectors, as well as in applying theorems about angle bisectors. To make perpendicular and angle bisector lessons more interesting, math teachers and homeschooling parents can employ diverse teaching strategies, including more engaging teaching and interactive games.

In advanced geometry lessons, students learn how to prove lines are parallel. More specifically, they learn how to identify properties for parallel lines and transversals and become fluent in constructing proofs that involve two lines parallel or not, that are cut by a transversal. For many students, learning how to prove lines are parallel can […] The post How to Prove Lines Are Parallel appeared first on GeometryCoach.com ..read more

When building arguments, mathematically fluent students can understand and use definitions, assumptions, and facts. They can justify their statements and conclusion by relying on logic. This is why it’s important to teach logic in math. This of course includes teaching logic in geometry as well. But if you’re a math teacher, you are probably aware […] The post Teaching Logic in Geometry appeared first on GeometryCoach.com ..read more
