Guest: What is the difference between geometry and proof geometry?
Is proof geometry more advanced then regular geometry? Some of my friends got put in geometry and im in proof, so i was just wondering if proof was more advanced?

It’s just like everything in math. There is the more practical side of things, and there is also the more theoretical side.
proof geometry is actually an excercise in logic and logical sequencing.
Basically, you are given an ititial set of criteria, prove a statement.
The clincher is the word prove. That means that you must have accounted for every possibility within your proof. That sounds really straightforward, but there are some things that can make this difficult.

Sounds like your school offers one geometry class that doesn’t include doing proofs, and a more rigorous (harder) class that does. I suspect you’re in the harder class.Maybe your grade will be more heavily weighted, or maybe yours is the course that satisfies the college geometry requirement. You should talk to your school counselor and just ask. Or look on the school website.
