Introduction to Geometric Proof

Author: Alex G

The Proof

This packet shows a flow proof and a statement-reason proof (sometimes called two-column proof) for the following proof.

Geometric Proof: What is it?

Discusses how geometric proof is different from mathematics up until this point. Compares the process of constructing a geometric proof to working your way through a maze.

Flow Proof Example

This example of a flow proof is meant as an introduction to the format of geometric proof. The structure of the proof, as well as a list of reasons are given to the student for this introductory proof.

Statement Reason (Two Column) Example

This is the same proof as above, but it is presented in the statement-reason format. It is meant as introduction to the two-column proof format.
