This product contains 8 proofs for students to practice completing parallelogram proofs using their knowledge of the properties of parallelograms. The statements are given on the proofs; students must determine the correct reason that corresponds to each statement.
Reasons included: subtraction property of equality, substitution property of equality, transitive property of congruence, reflexive property of congruence, definition of congruence, definition of midpoint, segment addition postulate, definition of an isosceles, triangles, definition of a parallelogram, alternate interior angles, vertical angles, corresponding angles, alternate interior angles converse, corresponding angles converse, base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent, opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent, opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent, corresponding angles of similar triangles are congruence, diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, one pair of opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruence and parallel, SSS triangle congruence, SAS triangle triangle congruence, ASA triangle congruence, AAS triangle congruence, and CPCTC. These proofs are challenging and connect many previously taught concepts!
Print the proofs on colored paper and the reasons on Avery 8167 white return labels. Students stick the reason labels on the proofs that correspond to the given statements.
No labels? No problem!
Use as a cut and paste activity, exit/entrance tickets, or place in sheet protectors for students to complete with dry erase markers.
Bonus: I also included a completely blank version of this activity if you’d like your students to do the proofs from start to finish on their own. This option would not use labels.
