Geometry teacher, Lauren Tucker, uses UNO to teach 2 column proofs. After a week of two-column proofs, they took their quiz & then played UNO Proofs! The purpose of this game is to build deductive reasoning and explanation. She explained to her students - proofs help to build reasoning skills. So in the future, you may not use proofs in your job, but you will definitely use your critical thinking.
