Our Honors Geometry magazines Issue 1 and Issue 2!
Stay tuned for the Precalc unit circle GeoGebra projects.
In other news, we sold our car today. It feels... glorious. I've got about 3 weeks left in San Salvador. OMG I love the feeling on the eve of a big move. It makes having only intermittent water supply seem almost bearable. :)
Mimi - This is amazing! I am taking over an Honors Geometry class next year, and find these magazine really inspiring. How do you fit it (the typical geometry curriculum) all in?
ReplyDeleteJohn: I don't try to shoot for a traditional curriculum.
ReplyDeleteAlong the way of teaching topics that I think are fundamental and interesting and geometric, I cover many, but NOT all, of the same things as the traditional curriculum. I'd be glad to send you my rough year-long pacing guide if that helps, but know that there've been some changes since I made that pacing guide a year ago...
Mimi - Seeing your pacing guide would be great! Thanks so much for your offer. John
ReplyDeleteLast July I envisioned doing a year of something like this: http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~mimiyang/misc/geometry.doc
ReplyDeleteIn reality it was a very busy year, and we didn't get to do all the original projects I would have liked to have time to do. I picked up some other different projects along the way instead, and they worked well (maybe better than) those that I had originally picked out.
You can see a summary view of what I actually did this year if you click on "Posts Organized by Topic" tab at the top of the blog.

Mimi - This is great; thanks so much. All the best for your move.
