Kay, im doing
realllly bad in Geometry.
and the only reason is i keep screwing up
on the two-column proofs.
Does anyone have any tips??
or anything to help understand it?
PLEASE
im desperate for answers
(and a better grade)

This site seems to have some fun ways of making proofs understandable. http://www.themathlab.com/geometry/mathcourt/writeproofs.htm
but the real trick is to keep trying, do them one step at a time and really work on learning the math rules that you can use.
Good Luck

In one side of the column, you put a "statement," or something that you see in the shape that will help you to solve the problem. In the column next to your statement, you put the reason for your statement (alternate interior angles, regular shape...etc.) To being a proof, you will have a "given," which is something about the shape that you are told so that you can solve the problem. Generally, you put the given in the statement column, and then for the reason, you say "given." Proofs are awful;) xx

well i dont know how to help you really.
but the only advice i can give you is to understand the postulates, theormes, and definitions of things better.
i agree with you that two column proofs are not easy to do because im doing them in class myself. mostly all of the proofs are just common sense. we could probably do it easily but we just dont know the right terms and definitions to explain it.
hope that helps..i really didnt know what else i could do

try making flash cards for all of the theorems and proofs you need to know
ask your teacher for help if you don't understand something and make sure that you understand it afterwards (dont give up!)

What have you gotten to so far in geometry?
