Geometric Proofs Worksheets

What are Geometric Proofs? We all have heard about proof. Generally speaking, proof is something that you need to establish a fact or determine something as true. But how do we prove something in geometry? How do we prove that the two angles are congruent or not? This is where geometric proofs play their role. So, let's begin with defining geometric proofs and discussing their types later on. GEOMETRIC PROOFS - A geometric proof is an approach of determining whether the statement is false or true by making use of logic, reasoning, facts and deductions to conclude an argument. A well-developed proof has its every statement supported by: Theorems: statements that can be proven true by using reasoning or support of previously established facts Postulates: statements that are assumed as truths without the need of proofs Axioms: statements that are considered as established and self-evident truths TYPES OF GEOMETRIC PROOFS - Geometric proofs are classified into: Direct Proof - In direct proofs, conclusions are derived from facts by using theorems and axioms and without making further assumptions. Indirect Proof - In indirect proofs, the statement to be proven is assumed as false. If the assumption results in an impossibility, then the supposed statement has to be proven true. Paragraph Proof - Paragraph proofs are logical arguments written in the form of a paragraph, supporting every step with evidences and details to provide a definite conclusion. Two-column Proof - Two-column proof comprises two columns with statements listed in one column while the reasons and logics for each statement stated in the second column. Their content is similar to paragraph proof but their form is different.

Simple Strategies for Solving Geometric Proofs

When you first start working with these types of problems you can easily get overwhelmed. You will need to be observant and take in all the information that is given to you. Once you fully grasp all the aspects of the battle map or in this case the coordinate plane, you can proceed to make sense of it and explain it to others. Here are some simple steps you can get into the habit of to solve them quicker and more efficiently:

Make a Plan and Outline - The best thing to do is to start by creating a plan for yourself. We would encourage you to start by talking it out or writing a short outline of how you should proceed with the problem. Once you have a brief outline, go over the plan to make sure that you did not leave anything out. The dots should connect from one to another. It is then helpful to plug numbers into those values to make sure that you are on the right path. Things that can help you along the way is to spot reference angles and sides of triangles. You can find most of this information by referring to the information that is given to you.

Spot What’s Not Stated - Look for congruent triangles because they can help you prove two sides and/or angles are the same through a number of different theorems. This will allow you to prove matching angles and spot balancing angles. Finding parallel lines is often golden. They will give you a flat surface to work off of. Look for triangles that are isosceles. Since they already have 2 equal sides you are just looking to see if the included angles are the same.

Practice If-Thens - We will begin to draft proofs based on what is given to us. To see if your assumptions make logical sense run the drafted proofs through if-then logic. Using these conditional statements, you should be able to understand if your proof makes sense. You need the conditional statement to be true.

Once you have all this in place, write your proof. Once complete, reverse engineer your proof to make sure that it works. Everything should flow equally in both directions as you progress through your proof. Following these simple steps often will be the key to your success.

5 Ways to Teach Geometry Proofs

how-to-teach-geometry-proofs

Geometry proofs can be a painful process for many students (and teachers). Proofs were definitely not my favorite topic to teach. Since they are a major part of most geometry classes, it’s important for teachers to have effective strategies for teaching proofs. 

Here are 5 strategies I used in the classroom to make geometry proofs less painful and easier for students to grasp. Help students learn how to do geometry proofs in no time!

1. Build on Prior Knowledge

geometry-proofs

Geometry students have most likely never seen or heard of proofs until your class. They can be so overwhelming at first!

That’s why it’s a good idea to build on their prior knowledge. Since most geometry students have just taken algebra, I like to start with a few algebra proofs. 

Basic algebra proofs help geometry students to see the format, process, and purpose of proofs. I always emphasized to my students that proofs are just a way of organizing the steps to solving a problem.

Remember: don’t make these proofs too complicated! The purpose is not to teach or reteach algebra skills. The purpose is to introduce proofs in a way that builds on what students already know . 

If you don’t have a ton of time to do algebra proofs, even just starting with one or two can help students understand the basics of geometry proofs.

2. Scaffold Geometry Proofs Worksheets

geometry-proofs-worksheets

According to The Glossary of Education Reform , scaffolding is when “teachers provide successive levels of temporary support that help students reach higher levels of comprehension…” 

Basically, you start by giving students easier problems and examples with a lot of support and help. Gradually, you give them harder problems and less help. 

Scaffolding is a great strategy for proofs because they are a brand new topic and can be difficult for students to grasp.

I scaffolded proofs by giving students all the statements and only having them fill in one or two reasons. 

Gradually, I would give them less and less information until they were able to complete a blank proof (all statements and reasons were missing). 

I know time is an issue for many teachers, so you may think you don’t have time to scaffold.

However, I have tried teaching proofs without scaffolding and it was a complete DISASTER. Students would shut down when I gave them a blank proof. Trust me when I say: scaffolding is worth the time! 

3. Use Hands-On Activities

geometry-proofs-practice

Proof worksheets can be boring and overwhelming for students. That’s why I love hands-on proofs activities. 

There are tons of different ways to practice proofs:

  • Print and laminate proofs and have students fill in reasons with dry erase markers
  • Cut up proofs and have students put them in order
  • Get the large sticky posters like these and write part of a proof. Then have students use markers to complete the proofs
  • Use online games such as IXL or Quizizz (free!) to practice proofs
  • Get sidewalk chalk and have students go outside and write proofs (with your help)
  • Make worksheets more fun by putting them in dry erase pockets and let students fill them out with dry erase markers 

You may like my congruent triangles proofs activity or my special angle pairs proofs activity .

4. Mark All Diagrams

how-to-geometry-proofs

When you get into geometry proofs, it’s important to teach students how to mark their diagrams. 

Students should know how to mark congruent angles, congruent line segments, parallel line, perpendicular lines, etc. 

I would always tell mine that if the diagram wasn’t marked, they would receive no credit! This may sound harsh, but it’s like completing an algebra problem with no work. 

Students need to see the marks on the diagrams in order to successfully complete the proofs.

If students struggle with correctly marking their diagrams, then take some time to teach them how to mark diagrams without proofs. Give them triangles, angles, and line segments and practice marking them as a class. 

5. Spiral Review

geometry-proofs-2

Spiral review is one of my favorite methods of teaching any topic. I think it is so important to continually review what you have been teaching throughout the semester or year. 

Proofs are no exception. If you teach proofs in Unit 1 and then never talk about them again, students are not going to remember a single thing! 

Some ways I used spiral review is through:

  • •warm ups (1-2 review questions to complete when they walk in) *Get my free warm up recording sheet here!
  • •daily homework (5-6 problems of review)
  • •review questions on test (3-4 questions from previous tests)
  • •cumulative tests (every test has questions from the beginning of the school year until current time)
  • •review days (I love doing stations! Have each station review a certain topic.)

If you’re going to be out, make some review activities to leave with the sub! These are great opportunities for students to review what they have already learned.

I hope these strategies helped! Let me know which one you implemented in your classroom!

How I Teach the Introduction to Proofs

Teaching geometry proofs can be intimidating for some teachers.  These tips will help you introduce them to your students and help your students "get it"!  This lesson helps geometry students when they are learning proofs.

Okay, so I’m going to tell you a story about what I did last night.  I took a shower and changed clothes.  Oh, but I went to the gym first.  I burned the bread.  My husband and I walked our dog, Zoey.  My husband did not like it.  I went to bed.  Oh, I also cooked dinner for my husband and I.  We watched Netflix together. 
Does that story make a lot of sense?  Could I have told it better?  This is the order that everything happened.

Is that story easier to understand? 
In math, we explain things the same way.  No one likes to have things explained in a jumbled, confusing way.  So, we explain our thinking in a logical order, the same way you would tell a story.

Two Column Proofs Two column proofs are organized into statement and reason columns. Each statement must be justified in the reason column. Before beginning a two column proof, start by working backwards from the “prove” or “show” statement. The reason column will typically include “given”, vocabulary definitions, conjectures, and theorems.

Introduction

Geometry is the study of visualizations. Perceiving what objects/ images mean/ signify is a major part of the work in this area of study.

Children often struggle with geometry since it is a jump from the basic concepts of algebra into something more abstract and unique. And because it is so different from what children have learned before, the art of teaching it should vary too.

Unfortunately, the school curriculum does not account for that and goes on teaching in the same format. The small inconvenience of not being able to understand a concept stems from something stronger and severe as children grow - the fear of geometry & math.

If your child struggles with geometry , it could be for the following reasons:

  • Unable to understand & apply the vocabulary to decode the problem.
  • Can’t see or imagine all of the pieces that go into making up the Geometry problem.
  • Struggle with the Algebra skills involved in doing Geometry

But even if learning geometry comes easy to them, one thing that the whiz kids find tough is with proofs!

And what better way to help sort these proofs out than a geometry proofs list compiling the list of geometry proofs and references to geometry proofs.

Children's doing Geometry math's

Geometry proofs are what math actually is. To put it simply- they're the explanation , and everything else follows from them. This means they're the most important part of the whole field by a very large measure, but they're generally going to be more difficult than anything else.

We are going to share an important geometry proofs list, that your children should be familiar with. And also explain how to solve geometry proofs.

Worry not, Cuemath has a way around that to ensure every child not only learns proofs and applies them, but also loves the process of learning them.

We have attached corresponding topic links in the geometry proofs list and statements mentioned for a deeper understanding of each.

If your children have been learning geometry, they would be familiar with the basic proofs like the definition of an isosceles triangle, Isosceles Triangle Theorem, Perpendicular, acute & obtuse triangles, Right angles, ASA, SAS, AAS & SSS triangles.

, ASA, SAS, AAS & SSS triangles

All of these proofs, like anything else, require a lot of practice . They're inherently different from solving problems because you already know the result and are solving for it. All kids need to do is manipulate the logic and structures after understanding how to solve these geometry proofs.

Here are some geometric proofs they will learn over the course of their studies:

Parallel Lines

If any two lines in the same plane do not intersect, then the lines are said to be parallel.

Certain angles like vertically opposite angles and alternate angles are equal while others are supplementing to each other.

Parallel Lines

Corresponding Angles

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent.

Vertical Angles

States, “If two non-adjacent angles are created by intersecting lines, then those angles are known as vertical angles.”

The Definition of Isosceles Triangle

Says that “If a triangle is isosceles then TWO or more sides are congruent.”

Isosceles Triangle Theorem

Says that “If a triangle is isosceles, then its BASE ANGLES are congruent.” This applies to the above point that you have already learned.

BASE ANGLES are congruent

Acute Triangle/ Obtuse Triangle

Says that “If a triangle is an acute triangle, then all of its angles are less than 90 degrees.”

And, “If a triangle is an obtuse triangle, then one of its angles is greater than 180 degrees.”

Perpendicular

States “If two lines, rays, segments or planes are perpendicular, then they form right angles (as many as four of them).”

Right Angle/ Acute Angle/ Obtuse Angle

States, “If an angle is a right angle, then the angle must EQUAL 90 degrees.”

“If an angle is an acute angle, then the angle must be less than 90 degrees.”

“If an angle is an obtuse angle, then the angle must be greater than 90 degrees.”

Congruency of Triangles: ASA, SSS, SAS, AAS

States, if the two angles and the side included between them of one triangle are equal to the two corresponding angles and the side included between them of another triangle, the two triangles are congruent.

ASA Triangle

states, if the three sides of one triangle are equal to the three corresponding sides of another triangle, the two triangles are congruent.

SSS Triangles

says that “If two sides and an included angle of one triangle are congruent to two corresponding sides and an included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.”

States, if the hypotenuse and side of one right-angled triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and the corresponding side of another right-angled triangle, the two triangles are congruent.

says that “If two angles and non-included sides of one triangle are congruent to two angles and a non-included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.”

AAS Triangle

Angle-Angle (AA) Similarity

If the three angles of one triangle are respectively equal to the three angles of the other, then the two triangles will be similar

SSS for Similarity

if the three sets of corresponding sides of two triangles are in proportion, the triangles are similar.

SAS for Similarity

If an angle of one triangle is congruent to the corresponding angle of another triangle and the lengths of the sides including these angles are in proportion, the triangles are similar

States that “If you use ASA, SSS, SAS, or AAS to prove that two triangles are congruent, then all other corresponding parts (sides & angles) of the congruent triangles are going to be congruent.”

Reflexive Property

States, “something is congruent to itself.”

Segment Addition Postulate/ Angle Addition Postulate

used when we do part + part = whole (for either sides or angles).

Interior angles of Triangle

Adding up all the interior angles of a triangle gives 180º

Interior angles of Triangle

Segment Bisector

States “If a segment, ray, line or plane is a segment bisector, then it divides a segment into TWO equal parts.”

Definition of Altitude

States, “If a segment is an altitude, then it is a segment originating from one of the vertices of a triangle and its perpendicular to an opposite side.”

Altitude

Exterior Angle

The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two non-adjacent interior angles and the value is greater than either non-adjacent interior angle.

Exterior Angle

Circle Proofs used

The radius of a circle is always perpendicular to a chord, bisects the chord and the arc.

A tangent dropped to a circle, is perpendicular to the radius made at the point of tangency.

tangent dropped to a circle

Tangent segments from a single point to a circle at different points are equal.

An angle inscribed in a semi-circle or half-circle is a right angle.

This was the important geometry proofs list.

This list of geometry proofs form the base to other proofs and theorems that your child will learn. It is essential for children to learn & pay attention to the general styles of proofs so that they would be able to apply it to other problems.

Once they get thorough with the geometry proofs list, they would get an intuition for how different structures act and interact and what strategies might be best to apply..this way they won't even find geometry hard, and will be able to solve the complete list of geometry proofs.

How to solve geometry proofs?

Now that we know the importance of being thorough with the geometry proofs list, here is how you can get your children to tackle the list of geometry poofs.

1. Plan it out

Einstein once said that if he had 60 min to solve a problem, he would spend 58 minutes defining the problem statement. Defining the problem statement helps with planning , and as experts say, planning is the first step to tackling a problem.

tackling a problem

Familiarize your children with the importance of planning right. Teach them to start by writing out the problem in plain English, with no mathematical jargon. Solving Geometry proofs just got a lot simpler.

2. Look for lengths, angles, and keep CPCTC in mind

All the geometry concepts your child has learned would come to life here. They could start by allocating lengths for segments or measures for angles & look for congruent triangles.

3. Parallel Lines can be a lifesaver

This is an old trick that you would be familiar with as well. Any parallel lines in the proof’s diagram mean that you would use one of the parallel-line theorems.

Pass on this wisdom to help your children solve geometry proofs given in the geometry proofs list.

Parallel Lines

4. If-then logic is always gold

Another one from the bag of tricks, ‘all the ideas in the if clause appears in the statement column somewhere above the line you‘re checking’.

This theory also helps to figure out what reason to use in the first place. This can work on any one of the theorems in the geometry proofs list!

5. If you get stuck, work backward

Jump to the end of the proof and start making guesses about the reasons for that conclusion. You can almost always figure out the way by using the if-then logic to reach the previous statement (and so on).

work backward

Geometry proofs don't have to be hard for the kids, but we hope that with the right guidance, they will be familiar with how to solve geometry proofs. The geometry proofs list, along with tips on how to solve geometry proofs can be a good start to train your child and get them to love geometry.

Lines and Angles

geometry worksheet beginning proofs

In this section, there are worksheets for two of the basic concepts of geometry: lines and angles.

Lines (or straight lines to be precise) in geometry are continuous and extend in both directions to infinity. They have no width, depth or curvature. In math activities, they are often represented by a drawn straight path with some width. To show that they are lines, arrows are drawn on each end to show they extend to infinity. A line segment is a finite section of a line. Line segments are often represented with points at each end of a drawn straight path. Rays start at a point and extend in a straight line to infinity. This is shown with a point at one end of a drawn straight path and an arrow at the other end.

  • Identifying Lines, Line Segments and Rays Identify Lines, Segments and Rays

Angles can be classified into six different types. Acute angles are greater than 0 degrees but less than 90 degrees. Right angles are exactly 90 degrees. Obtuse angles are greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees. Straight angles are exactly 180 degrees. Reflex angles are greater than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees. Complete/Full angles are exactly 360 degrees.

There are several angle relationships of which students should be aware. Complementary angles are two angles that together form a 90 degree angle; supplementary angles are two angles that together form a 180 degree angle; and explementary angles are two angles that together form a 360 degree angle. Vertical angles are found at line intersections; angles opposite each other are equal. Students can practice determining and/or calculating the unknown angle(s) in the following angle relationships worksheets.

The quadrilaterals set can be used for a number of activities that involve classifying and recognizing quadrilaterals or for finding the properties of quadrilaterals (e.g. that the interior angles add up to 360 degrees). The tangram printables are useful in tangram activities. There are several options available for the tangram printables depending on your printer, and each option includes a large version and smaller versions. If you know someone with a suitable saw, you can use the tangram printable as a template on material such as quarter inch plywood; then simply sand and paint the pieces.

Trigonometric ratios are useful in determining the dimensions of right-angled triangles. The three basic ratios are summarized by the acronym SOHCAHTOA. The SOH part refers to the ratio: sin(α) = O/H where α is an angle measurement; O refers the length of the side (O)pposite the angle measurement and H refers to the length of the (H)ypotenuse of the right-angled triangle. The CAH part refers to the ratio: cos(α) = A/H where A refers to the length of the (A)djacent side to the angle. The TOA refers to the ratio: tan(α) = O/A.

Quadrilaterals are interesting shapes to classify. Their classification relies on a few attributes and most quadrilaterals can be classified as more than one shape. A square, for example, is also a parallelogram, rhombus, rectangle and kite. A quick summary of all quadrilaterals is as follows: quadrilaterals have four sides. A square has 90 degree corners and equal length sides. A rectangle has 90 degree corners, but the side lengths don't have to be equal. A rhombus has equal length sides, but the angles don't have to be 90 degrees. A parallelogram has both pairs of opposite sides equal and parallel and both pairs of opposite angles are equal. A trapezoid only needs to have one pair of opposite sides parallel. A kite has two pairs of equal length sides where each pair is joined/adjacent rather than opposite to one other. A bowtie is sometimes included which is a complex quadrilateral with two sides that crossover one another, but they are readily recognizable. Any other four-sided polygon can safely be called a quadrilateral if it doesn't meet any of the criteria for a more specific classification.

Transformations Worksheets

geometry worksheet beginning proofs

Transformations worksheets for translations, reflections, rotations and dilations practice.

Here are two quick and easy ways to check students' answers on the transformational geometry worksheets below. First, you can line up the student's page and the answer page and hold it up to the light. Moving/sliding the pages slightly will show you if the student's answers are correct. Keep the student's page on top and mark it or give feedback as necessary. The second way is to photocopy the answer page onto an overhead transparency. Overlay the transparency on the student's page and flip it up as necessary to mark or give feedback.

Also known as sliding, translations are a way to mathematically describe how something moves on a Cartesian plane. In translations, every vertex and line segment moves the same, so the resulting shape is congruent to the original.

  • Translations Worksheets Translation of 3 vertices by up to 3 units. Translation of 3 vertices by up to 6 units. Translation of 3 vertices by up to 25 units. Translation of 4 vertices by up to 6 units. Translation of 5 vertices by up to 6 units.
  • Translations Worksheets (Multi-Step) Two-Step Translation of 3 vertices by up to 6 units. Two-Step Translation of 4 vertices by up to 6 units. Three-Step Translation of 3 vertices by up to 6 units. Three-Step Translation of 4 vertices by up to 6 units.

Reflect on this: reflecting shapes over horizontal or vertical lines is actually quite straight-forward, especially if there is a grid involved. Start at one of the original points/vertices and measure the distance to the reflecting line. Note that you should measure perpendicularly or 90 degrees toward the line which is why it is easier with vertical or horizontal reflecting lines than with diagonal lines. Measure out 90 degrees on the other side of the reflecting line, the same distance of course, and make a point to represent the reflected vertex. Once you've done this for all of the vertices, you simply draw in the line segments and your reflected shape will be finished.

Reflecting can also be as simple as paper-folding. Fold the paper on the reflecting line and hold the paper up to the light. On a window is best because you will also have a surface on which to write. Only mark the vertices, don't try to draw the entire shape. Unfold the paper and use a pencil and ruler to draw the line segments between the vertices.

Here's an idea on how to complete rotations without measuring. It works best on a grid and with 90 or 180 degree rotations. You will need a blank overhead projector sheet or other suitable clear plastic sheet and a pen that will work on the page. Non-permanent pens are best because the plastic sheet can be washed and reused. Place the sheet over top of the coordinate axes with the figure to be rotated. With the pen, make a small cross to show the x and y axes being as precise as possible. Also mark the vertices of the shape to be rotated. Using the plastic sheet, perform the rotation, lining up the cross again with the axes. Choose one vertex and mark it on the paper by holding the plastic sheet in place, but flipping it up enough to get a mark on the paper. Do this for the other vertices, then remove the plastic sheet and join the vertices with line segments using a ruler.

Connecting cubes can be a powerful tool for developing spatial sense in students. The first two worksheets below are difficult to do even for adults, but with a little practice, students will be creating structures much more complex than the ones below. Use isometric grid paper and square graph paper or dot paper to help students create three-dimensional sketches of connecting cubes and side views of structures.

This section includes a number of nets that students can use to build the associated 3D solids. All of the Platonic solids and many of the Archimedean solids are included. A pair of scissors, a little tape and some dexterity are all that are needed. For something a little more substantial, copy or print the nets onto cardstock first. You may also want to check your print settings to make sure you print in "actual size" rather than fitting to the page, so there is no distortion.
