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

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

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

Are you looking for a way to ease your students into complex proofs? This printable study guide/homework assignment involves the following theorems and postulates: -Converse of the Corresponding Angles Postulate -Converse of the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem -Converse oft the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem -Converse of the Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem (Same-side interior angles theorem) The first set of problems is very simple just to get their minds used to the idea of proving

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

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

Are your students struggling with the concept of counter-examples? Are you teaching Geometry for the first time? Coming up with great true and false statements can be confusing. Use this worksheet to help you introduce formal logic into your class. This printable worksheet contains 20 statements that your students will have to label as true or false. If they are false they must provide a valid counter-example. This can get tricky because some students don't realize that the counter-examples m

Struggling to find good examples of geometric proofs in your textbook? These detailed proofs will help you and your student become experts! This particular packet includes 8 proofs that all use the vertical angles theorem. Other topics include angle addition, substitution, supplementary angles, etc. This packet is slightly harder and more detailed than some of my other introductory proofs. An answer key is included. You may to choose proofs in a slightly different format in your class.

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

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. This is my third variation for conditional statements available on TpT and is the one is comes with two printable versions after reading the suggestions on my other products. Version 1- This version is simply a 1-page document w

Are you looking to make your proportion lesson a little bit more interesting? This worksheet can be turned into an activity for an entire period or given as a homework assignment depending on your student's skill level. I got the idea for this lesson from a email forward I received that humorously compared the cost of gas to the cost of other common items. The students will have to complete two questions for each scenario...the unit rate and the cost of the item per gallon. For example, the

Do your students complain that the math they learn in school never applies to the "real world"? This worksheet is a perfect way for them to learn how "regular" people like their parents and neighbors use math on a daily basis when shopping. There are 8 different world problems that ask the students to compare different coupons that are sent to them. The basic topic is calculating percents but it forces them to figure it out in the context of a real life scenario. Each problem has multiple ste

This particular study guide contains 8 proofs. The first

Are your students struggling with the open-ended problems on state standardized tests? This template was designed to students completely answer open-ended word problems on the state tests. Personally I have used it and it has seemed to help everyone from the lowest to highest learner. They seem to love to say "Oh Snap!" so I designed this with their "likes" in mind. It could be used in any grade level. I suggest you use this printable template for the first half of the year. As the year pr

Are your students having trouble with the Law of Detachment when they are working with formal logic? Most students are good and determining whether statements are true or false but they struggle with determining whether or not statements are valid or invalid based on the Law of Detachment. This document contains 20 basic statements that the students analyze to determine if the conjecture is valid or invalid. For example they are set up as follows: If Bob cuts the lawn he will earn $10 from his
