Overview

This part launches work on a mathematics problem set – considering True/False Geometry Statements. This problem set is different from previous mathematics problems both in terms of the topic and the type of task. This foray into another mathematics strand is designed to support consideration of how reasoning permeates mathematics. It will also illustrate in new ways the importance of precision with mathematical language.
