Are your students struggling with geometric proofs? Are you struggling to find a way to explain it? I have created this simple 6-step plan for geometric proofs to help my students. I have found that is helpful if they have some sort of format to follow for each proof.
This particular item is just a single page and can be printed in color. The advice is coming from the "Proof Pirate" which helps this page stand out in their notes. Cheesy? Yes! Will you get a quick laugh from your students?
Are you tired of hearing your students say "When would you ever use this!?" This lesson is a perfect way to silence their complaints!
I originally designed this lesson to be used after watching the episode "Convergence"of the CBS television series Numb3rs. I think every middle/HS teacher should own copies of this series. If you aren't familiar with the show, it is basically a crime show where the characters solve crimes with math. (Similar to CSI) You might be able to download free episodes

My interests are far reaching and certainly include a lot of topics that are not directly related to math. I try to take my interests such as dance, art, and travel and infuse them into my classroom activities and discussions.
