GEOMETRY: How To Write A Geometric Two-Column Proof

[MsMizlicious]

Haha.. cool !! You explained everything slowly and clearly, not as my teacher she is very fast when she talk. XP

[slowrider30]

Lol the youtube community

[Yunqkid11]

Your cute ;)

[extremegunn94]

Unfortunately... I understand how to "do" them... Knowing all that vertical, vertex..lickidy-split lolipop blue-berry hill stuff just doesn't make sense...

[Aslanx10]

2:16 (Subliminal middle finger) LOL

[selinamarie3]

@Aslanx10 HAHAHA!! My other fingers were up, too!! :D

[wolfwoman14]

thank you soooooooooooo much!!!

[paveltown4]

if you were a guy, you would be the man

[MrDailybright]

Where can I get a free online tutor??? I feel that I wasted 3 months knowing nothing in geometry

[zeejc]

i wish you were my geometry teacher!

[NeonStar26]

I have a quiz on proofs tomorrow and this is my "i forgot my textbook and I don't know what to do now to study at 9 PM" video! haha

[katherine83095]

please be my teacher :(

[MsNamingway]

Thank you so much for making this video! Now I understand proofs. xD

[selinamarie3]

@MsNamingway You're so welcome! :)

[whocaresitsdancetime]

Thank you so much u made it so simple for me I now understand what I am doing I have a big test coming up and I feel more confident in myself

[selinamarie3]

@whocaresitsdancetime That's GREAT!! Glad I could help. :)

[princeoftennisfan1]

ya! i can do me home work now. i couln'd understand it, but at lest be for teaching this to his class of Sophmores and 6 freshmen( i one of those freshmen) he told us to lean, ask queston, and unterstand this stuff. he also said"i know what you'll think when will we ever use this stuff?!" he's replay...you will'nt, it made use laugh so hard.

[selinamarie3]

@princeoftennisfan1 HAHA!! It's great practice for using logic and you'll use it indirectly with other topics, but otherwise, you probably won't use it unless you become a math teacher or mathematician. Just tough through it for now, and get that A!

[princeoftennisfan1]

@selinamarie3 I did get an a or 95% on our test over the chapter^^ practice or not houogh it's boring to do it...

[selinamarie3]

@princeoftennisfan1 95????? THAT'S AWESOME!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! :D

[princeoftennisfan1]

@selinamarie3 Thanks^^

[missgscontest]

OMG I wish you were my geometry teacher!! He just throws homework papers at us and has us know theorems that he didn't even cover! Thanks so much!

[selinamarie3]

@missgscontest Awww, that's sweet! I'm glad I could help. :)

[Nasibajaanak]

you are amazing!!! come and be my ap geometry teacher because Im struggling =//// lol

[selinamarie3]

@Nasibajaanak I'm sorry your learning style doesn't agree with your teacher's lecture style... It happens, but with some hard work, you'll still get the grade you want!

[ericxsolja]

thank you so much selina, this video really helped me out lol

[selinamarie3]

@ericxsolja Thank you! I'm glad!

[xmaste]

You are a genious!

[selinamarie3]

@xmaste Wow! Thank you!

[silluxz]

why cant you be my teacher? you explained in 4 minutes all my teacher went thru in 1 month......

[selinamarie3]

@silluxz Thank you for the compliment!

[selinamarie3]

@silluxz Thank you for the compliment! I really don't like working in classrooms as much as with small groups. Kids get distracted too easily, and it takes a special person to get them in line. (And that's not me...) :)

[beyondbookworm]

i hate proofs! i dont get them. my teacher lets us write the theorems and such on notecards and stuff which is great... but I DON'T GET IT! she's not very patient so im kinda scared to ask me to explain proof for the millionth time. this vid has helped a smidge, but i still dont really get it :(

[selinamarie3]

@beyondbookworm You should definitely look into a private tutor to really help you to make the connections between the theorems and show you how to use them properly. Proofs are all about strategy, and once you get that and practice using the theorems, you'll be good to go!

[beyondbookworm]

ive been practicing the proofs for a few hours now and i think im getting there. im pretty sure its because of this vid. thanks. i'll definitely look into the private tutor thing.

[selinamarie3]

@beyondbookworm WOOHOO!! Private tutors ROCK!! I appreciate your diligence -- most students would give up after the first 30 minutes. LOL!

[beyondbookworm]

@selinamarie3 Haha, thanks. I'm in Algebra 2/Trig now. You should do a video on that.

[FashionFio99]

i HATE geometry.....everybody seems to get it but me lol.

now im better at it, but guys, it takes TONS of practice to dominate proofs :/

[wchild56]

i know. i was great in algebra so now im geometry honors but now i dont wannna be in it anymore

[thewindsoffear]

what is a linear pair

[selinamarie3]

@thewindsoffear It's a set of two angles that share a leg and add up to 180 degrees. =) Ask your teacher to show you a picture of it.

[thewindsoffear]

i wish you were my teacher

[hochapper]

I am a new geometry teacher. I could use any advice from you!! Would you be willing to help me (well whatever you can do in all that spare time I'm sure you have and over the internet). Peace.

[selinamarie3]

@hochapper Hi! Thank you for asking! I was going to write a book with my tips and methods, but since it looks like that won't happen any time soon, you could get in touch with me online and I'd charge you as if I were tutoring you. How does that sound?

[Gerald45]

i fucking hate this shit. FUCK GEO!!! :( :( help me selina :(

[selinamarie3]

Hey!! No need to curse -- geeezzzzz!!

I hope that this video helped you. =)

[casserolesaystoria]

heyy thanks for this! Im taking mi final exam for geometry tommorow and im kinda struggling in proofs, this helped me alot! thank you again! :)

[selinamarie3]

You're welcome! =D I'm glad that this helped!

[MrSarcasm2]

This helped a lot.

We're doing ASA and AAS proofs, and they're a pain in the A-S-S.

Geometry humor. Gotta love it...

[selinamarie3]

HAHAHA!!! Just wait till you get to SSS and SAS... Lol.

[MrSarcasm2]

We did SSS and SAS on I think Wednesday, and my teacher is horrible at explaining all four. And when you try to get him to help you, he just makes you feel stupid in front of the whole class and doesn't help.

[selinamarie3]

I think I might know who your teacher is.... LOL!!!

[SearchinSnipin]

@MrSarcasm2 same here, about to fail my midterm!

[yumyumlate]

THANK YOU SO MUCH.that helped me a lottt!!you seeem like such a fun person to learn from!!

[selinamarie3]

Thank you! I'm so glad this helped you out! =)

[MrAntonic]

I want you as my teacher. I'm really really good at Math, I love proofs and all.

But my math teacher doesn't like proofs, so we don't use proofs.

[selinamarie3]

What's Geometry without proofs...? BORING!! =)

[Yechiel16]

thanx a mill :). The vid was extremely usefull considering the fact that i have been working on this for a while but dont seem to get it and now i have a better understanding as for what to do! thanx again

[selinamarie3]

YAY!!!!! Happy to help!!!

[calkitten]

this was SO helpful, I cannot thank you enough!

I wish YOU were my teacher!

[selinamarie3]

You're so welcome! =)

[wendaliah]

Great video. My instructer didnt even tell us about the theorums in the back of the book. Thank you. Plus your easy going personality makes learning geometry so much easier.

[selinamarie3]

Thanks!! =) I'm glad that this helped you out.

[jimteachesmath]

I teach high school math in Florida. I enjoyed your video about Geometry Proofs. I tried to download the video (using keepvid) to share with my class. Not able to do so. Any suggestions on how to do so? By the way, our IT Department has uTube blocked so I can't play anything without downloading at home first.

[selinamarie3]

Awesome! Check your youtube mail.

[MakingRockHistory256]

Wow Ur ausome

[selinamarie3]

Thank you! :)

[grig24x]

Our teacher have a lack of knowledge

[selinamarie3]

If you have any requests for other topics that challenge you in the future, let me know. I'll make a video as fast as I can.

[lakersrock360]

Can some1 tell me what she is saying, i am deaf

[NormBarStool]

uh...lol?

[selinamarie3]

LOL! I think he/she was joking...

[NormBarStool]

yeah i hope so lol

[Futboller423]

thanx! you helped so much!

[selinamarie3]

AWESOME! You're welcome.

[EvilBenson]

"GET 'ER DONE!"

You honestly make learning fun. I wish I was one of your students! Thank you so much!

I'm having tons of trouble with this in class because my teacher doesn't teach at all. She just does examples and says "right?"

[stevosmusic]

same here

[selinamarie3]

I wish you were one of my students, too! =) Lol! A lot of students are missing out on how fun geometry is, because teachers aren't teaching. Hang in there!

[Jibjub80]

when I received a grade this low, and now I'm attempting to obtain a master's degree in the field of psychology. Now I'm on to worse things like writing a thesis. I think now, maybe I'd rather even try to do proofs again. :-P

[selinamarie3]

It's nice to meet another Psychology lover! That was one of the degrees I earned during my undergrad. I'm sure it's much crazier at the graduate level. Thank you for watching! =)

[thundernuts27]

your great :D!

[selinamarie3]

Thank you!

[sonido48]

I hate proofs, they take a long time and are usually quite repetitive.

[selinamarie3]

Yes, yes... I know... When I was in school, I was annoyed by them, too. I'm trying to help make them more tolerable with this video.

I hope it helped!

[imaspecialboy]

I decorated mine with crayons... Pass for sure.

[hhrsdaughter]

lol!! Pass definitely.

[selinamarie3]

LOL!

[dezkit]

thank you :D

[selinamarie3]

No problem!

[usernamegame]

yes they are annoying...
