Parallel Lines cut by a Transversal - Printable Missing Angle Worksheets w Key

Do your students need a little bit more practice with determining the measures of missing angles? This packet includes 5 separate angle worksheets that involve understanding the angles relationships when there are parallel lines cut by a transversal line. Certain problems require that the students to know that triangles add up to 180 degrees. Angle pair covered include: alternate interior, alternate exterior, corresponding, same-side interior (consecutive interior) as well as linear pairs and v

Geometry: Logic with Conditional Statements, Converse, Inverse, Contrapositives

Are you introducing formal logic to your class and having trouble coming up with additional examples? Are you teaching logic for the first time and struggling with how to explain things to your class? This activity is great for the students and also for the teachers. The worksheet itself is only 1 page and includes 15 conditional statements. The students will then have to come up with the converse, inverse and contrapositive of each statement and also determine their truth value. If they are fa

Geometry: Angle Puzzles Involving Parallel Lines Cut by Transversals - Part II

My first set of angles puzzles have been a hot seller so I wanted to post some new puzzles for those of you who have found them to be helpful. This particular set contains 7 angle puzzles with 7 complete answer keys. In order to fill in the angle puzzles students must be familiar with the angle relationships formed by two parallel lines and a transversal. Additionally they would have to be familiar with the triangle sum theorem, complementary and supplementary angles, etc. If you have alrea

Are you introducing proofs for the first time? Are your students struggling with the concept of a proof? I have found that there are very few remediation worksheets on proofs and sometimes it is necessary to go slow until all students get the hang of proofs. It can be frustrating when the textbooks only include one or two examples. I created this very straightforward study guide for beginner proofs. This particular study guide contains 10 proofs. The first 5 are all set up to use the basic S

Need more resources when you are teaching logic to your geometry classes? Are you teaching geometry for the first time and need to wrap your mind around the concepts yourself? The books never seem to have enough of the same type of problem for the students to practice so I started making my own. This activity is a new version (all new examples) of an old one that I still have posted. It contains 20 conditional statements that your students can turn into converse, inverse and contrapositive st

Introductory Quadrilateral Proofs with Complete Key

Are your students struggling with all of the properties of parallelograms, rectangles and rhombuses? These step by step proofs will allow them to see the various properties in action. Included in this download are 16 simple proofs ranging from 3 steps to 8 steps each. The student version has blank tables that indicate the possible number of steps for each proof. Of course, if your students decide to complete the proofs using other methods (ie: triangle congruence mixed with CPCTC) then it w

Geometry Proof Practice Study Guide with Detailed Answer Key

Did you run out of proofs to give your students? Need something that is already pre-made and ready to print? After many years of teaching geometry I have found that there is not enough practice out there when it comes to proofs. I have spent hours putting together proofs that are "user friendly" for my students to use and hopefully you will find them helpful too. (Check my other listings and check back for updates as I have many more proof study guides.) This particular packet includes 8 2-c

Geometry Proof Practice with Parallel Lines cut by Transversals - Level 1

Are your kids struggling to write proofs? It seems as though there is never enough proof practice in the textbooks and as a result I have created a series of my own proof assignments. This proof assignment addresses basic angle relationships that exist when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. Students will need to be able to identify Alternate Interior, Alternate Exterior, Corresponding, and Same Side (Consecutive) Interior Angles. Part 1 contains 10 VERY SIMPLE 2-step proofs that

Looking for a new assignment for one of your math classes? I have created this assignment in an attempt to have students become more passionate about math and to see a connection to the real world. In short, this assignment requires students to create a 1-page fact-sheet or Power Point presentation on a particular math career. (51 Printable careers are included) Each student in the class completes their own report and then reports back to the class on their findings. When I am done with all o

Looking for some extra resources for geometric proofs? You have come to the right place! After years of teaching Geometry I have realized that good proof worksheets are difficult to come by. Because geometry is often considered an "advanced" class there seems to be very little in the way of remediation. Most students could really benefit from additional practice with proofs. Creating new proofs can be tedious and time consuming. Why reinvent the wheel when these resources have already been cr
