Teaching Logic in Geometry
When building arguments, mathematically fluent students can understand and use definitions, assumptions, and facts. They can justify their statements and conclusion by relying on logic. This is why it’s important to teach logic in math. This of course includes teaching logic in geometry as well. But if you’re a math teacher, you are probably aware […]
Teaching Angle Pairs
In middle school, children learn to identify angle pairs, including supplementary, complementary, vertical, and adjacent angles. They then learn to use the relationships of angle pairs to find angle measures. There are plenty of ways in which math teachers and homeschooling parents can help children become proficient in identifying angle pairs and solving angle-related equations. […]
