Math Wizards...I Need Geometry Homework Help for My Daughter
10.19.04 | mlmr

Posted on 10/19/2004 4:09:28 PM PDT by mlmr

My daughtetr is doing simple proofs in her first month of high school geometry. She understands how to build a proof but the teacher has her labeling proofs that are already built and she is having difficulties making the correct choices.

My math and geometery ability approaches nil.

Is there someone out there who could point me to a link that explains labeling already made up proofs?

Thank you.

To to Ask.com. Then type in your question. I've been mentoring schoolkids and have used that site for some math lessons for the kids.

I just googled "geometry proofs" and came up with a list of a bunch of sites, including a number for beginners that discuss the construction of proofs.

Good Luck!

And he served in Vietnam. And Dick Cheney's daughter is a lesbian.

I asked for lessons for teaching kids fractions, lowest common denominator, etc.

"It was the wrong proof, for the wrong geometry class, in the wrong school. But I will get France and Germany involved in getting these proofs done, as soon as these proofs pass the global test."

I've been saying that to everybody in my grocery store.

If they are checking their losing lottery tickets I tell them JohnKerry's got a plan to help you win the lottery.

If they are trying to reach something high on a shelf it's "John Kerry has a plan to help you reach stuff up high."

Or John Kerry's got a plan to fix all the shopping cart wheels.

Even the liberal Rats with the Kerry buttons on their coats laugh at it.

Anyway, they even provide help for homework problems.

Yup, I just checked -- that link brings you to Math Forum (http://mathforum.org)
