Segment Proofs Station Rotation for Geometry
A collaborative station-rotation packet in which 9th graders examine and correct flawed segment proofs, building logical reasoning and precise use of geometric definitions. Students work through error-analysis tasks on proof worksheets, identifying faulty steps, explaining why they fail, and writing the correct statement or reason.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use as a rotating station activity during a 45 to 60 minute block, with small groups moving through several stations, each with its own incorrect or partial proof.
- Discussion question: Why is 'Given' information not enough on its own, and which definition, such as Segment Addition, justifies the step that connects AB and BC to AC?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Provide a sentence frame such as 'Step __ is incorrect because the reason cited is ___, but the correct reason is ___,' and pair them with a stronger peer.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to write their own flawed proof with a subtle error and trade it with another group to diagnose.
- Estimated time: about 10 minutes per station, plus 10 minutes for whole-class debrief on common errors.
