I have very fond memories of high school geometry. Memorizing theorems wasn't too hard, and solving proofs was like solving the logic puzzles that I did for fun anyway. But the theorems were scattered ...

This article presents a way of studying the rationality that mathematics teachers utilize in managing the teaching of theorems in high-school geometry. More generally, the study illustrates how to ...

Two congruent angles are simply pairs of angles with equal measures. You can find congruent angles examples in hundreds of everyday objects. For instance, think of any time you've tried to draw a ...

Circle theorems are properties that are true for all circles, regardless of their size. There are six theorems to learn and recognise. Questions can have a combination of theorems. It is important to ...

As I work proofs with my Calculus and Higher Geometries students, I often run across the Greek symbol that, in math, means “there exists." This might show up, for example, in statements such as “there ...
