Definitely will give it to them next week to illustrate the difference between making conjectures and proving!<br /><br />Thanks! Any other good ones that you've come across? I'll link to all the good easy proofs I used this weekend.untilnextstophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15285583728476473117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6651514617266100245.post-32591707381376071772011-04-01T01:38:24.966-04:002011-04-01T01:38:24.966-04:00Great Post Mimi.

So well said. "If two triangles share ...YES! So well said. "If two triangles share two pairs of congruent sides, and the included angles are respectively congruent, then" aarrggghhh!!! The much better question is, if I know the SAS of a triangle, can I figure everything else out? How?<br /><br />I love color coding too. Please share examples if possible!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6651514617266100245.post-89820928445454781692011-03-28T21:51:52.815-04:002011-03-28T21:51:52.815-04:00For proofs, I used an ACT unit that worked really ...For proofs, I used an ACT unit that worked really well. I'm interested in seeing what your color coded version looks like. Could you take a picture of a sample maybe?miss.calcul8https://www.blogger.com/profile/02014623484245570719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6651514617266100245.post-80387033683280672142011-03-28T21:27:46.100-04:002011-03-28T21:27:46.100-04:00OK.

I am teaching it at the end of the year too, and I had no idea where to start (I'm teaching Geo for the first time). <br />Are you giving them the reference sheet that you made, or are you making them create one? If you are giving them one, would you mind sharing your version w/ me, just so I have some focus of where to go?<br />I was struggling with the idea of fill in the blank, I think I am going to try your idea and "hope" it goes well.ERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03124846987033083264noreply@blogger.com
