Abstract: Use of multiple methods for proof problems in geometry has great potential to expand reasoning and thinking skills. Discovering or understanding different solutions may develop and increase the enjoyment found in problem solving and render mathematics a creative enterprise. Six proof problems from geometry are presented with hints for multiple methods of proof. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
