Related Links The Geometer's Sketchpad Activities Exploring Characteristics of Triangles Students draw triangles and explore the classification of each using the measures of interior angles and lengths of sides. In the extension activities, the students further explore and generalize a formula for the sum of the interior angles of convex polygons. Constructions of Isosceles and Equilateral Triangles Students discuss the difference between drawing and constructing a triangle using The Geometer's Sketchpad. They will further develop constructions for both isosceles and equilateral triangles. In the extension activities, students will script the construction of a right triangle. The Pythagorean Theorem Students create both a visual and formal proof of the Pythagorean theorem, as well as view four additional geometric demonstrations of the theorem. These demonstrations are based on proofs by Bhaskara, Leonardo da Vinci, and Euclid. Students will value this activity more if they have already had some experience with the Pythagorean Theorem.

Teaching city living with simulation software Winter 1999 hen it comes to using technology in the classroom, Kathleen Bridgewater's first rule is simple: Don't waste students' time. While getting her fifth- and sixth-graders to sit at their computers may be easy, it's only worthwhile when it helps them gain a better sense of the world they inhabit. She explains, "The violation of this cardinal rule results in a negative correlation between computer use and academic growth." Here, this veteran teacher shares her experience using a simulation software package for a multidisciplinary unit on cities, in collaboration with her school's technology integration specialist, Michael Lipinski Meet Kathleen Bridgewater Michael Lipinski by Kathleen Bridgewater Erving Elementary School imCity 2000, unlike many computer games, has remarkable qualities that can be utilized for meaningful educational purposes with middle school children. The game, in which students establish and nurture the growth of a city, can be used as the starting point for a series of activities to enhance students' language, reading, math, science, social studies, and art skills. When teams of at least two teachers plan together and share some of the more labor-intensive tasks, this can be an enormously rewarding professional experience. In our project it was accomplished by a classroom teacher and our school computer integration specialist

A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n 8 - 9 Geometric Thinking - Activities About teaching mathematics: K-8 (ENC-008504) The goal of this book is to help educators implement mathematics instruction that develops students who feel mathematically secure, use numbers confidently to come to decisions, understand mathematical principles, and can apply their understanding to problem solving situations. The three parts of the book address basic math education topics, 200 classroom problem solving activities, and the changing nature of mathematics instruction. Family math (ENC-000589) This book contains activities from the Family Math program; the program focuses on parents and children learning mathematics together. Activities involve experimenting, discovering, mathematical reasoning, and problem solving. Many activities develop understanding with hands-on materials. Topics include arithmetic, geometry, probability, statistics, measurement, logic, estimation, calculators, computers, careers, and recognition of patterns and relationships. The book contains ideas for creating an environment that makes mathematics seem attractive and interesting for children and includes ideas for parents to consider as they do mathematics at home. Math problem-solving brain teasers: challenging (ENC-012870) This book contains problems designed to allow the student to see the practicality and fun of mathematics. Problems include investigating angles in billiard table geometry, finding numerical palindromes, and using Origami to demonstrate geometric theorems. Included for each activity are teacher notes that contain information helpful to students' understanding of the activity and solutions to all problems.
