Geometry was my favorite math class of all time. I took a lot of math courses in high school, but this was by far the easiest. I'm not a visual learner, but seeing the shapes sure helps me apply the formulas we learn. Geometry is one of those concepts that people are
deathly afraid of. I guess geometry just
makes sense to me! A line has 180 degrees. Obviously, if one angle is 35 degrees, we simply subtract to find the missing angle. To master geometry, I think one must try to remember things such as angles, lines, planes, shapes, and the formulas that come as the main dish.
Here is a
neat plain English website that explains many of the topics we covered this week. It's a great go-to site for simple questions about the way math is
supposed to work.
Math for Morons :) I would use this website in my middle school classroom. I would use it for myself on a regular basis. It has all of the handy things that are often simple, but yet hard to remember. I would keep a site such as this in my "favorites" to refer to as a quick reference. Middle school students are tons of fun! With that being said, they are also very intelligent and often ask intriguing questions. I hope to provide answers for my students in all areas of their education. If I keep good websites in my pocket, I will be able to
conquer answer their questions correctly.
On a completely random note, here is a picture of my "notes" for this class. I'm thinking I should consider revising my strategies...as this isn't going to benefit me past next week. I want to hold on to this information so that I don't forget it
AGAIN.
