Two Column Proofs
Two column proofs are organized into statement and reason columns. Each statement must be justified in the reason column. Before beginning a two column proof, start by working backwards from the “prove” or “show” statement. The reason column will typically include “given”, vocabulary definitions, conjectures, and theorems.
