Background Tutorials

  • Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the form x + p = q and px = q for cases in which p, q and x are all nonnegative rational numbers.

      What's the Subtraction Property of Equality?

      Solving equations can be tough, especially if you've forgotten or have trouble understanding the tools at your disposal. One of those tools is the subtraction property of equality, and it lets you subtract the same number from both sides of an equation. Watch the video to see it in action!

  • Understand that a two-dimensional figure is congruent to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, and translations; given two congruent figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the congruence between them.

      What Does Congruent Mean?

      If two figures have the same size and shape, then they are congruent. The term congruent is often used to describe figures like this. In this tutorial, take a look at the term congruent!

  • Use informal arguments to establish facts about the angle sum and exterior angle of triangles, about the angles created when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and the angle-angle criterion for similarity of triangles.

      How Do You Find a Missing Angle in a Triangle?

      Trying to find a missing interior angle measurement in a triangle? Already know the other two interior angle measurements? Then you're set! Just remember that the interior angles of a triangle ALWAYS add up to 180 degrees. This tutorial shows you how to put this knowledge into an equation and solve to find that missing measurement!
