I'm teaching high school math to homeschoolers and I'm looking for how to make geometry year meaningful.
I'm having a "crisis of confidence" because from my viewpoint, algebra was 10x more useful for future math and science work. The only thing I can remember that was useful from geometry was a few volume and area formulas. That can justify maybe a month but not a whole YEAR of geometry!?!? cs P.S. Yes yes I know that geometry is meant to teach logical reasoning. Maybe one can get that from chess, debate club and other activities as well if not better? People also say geometry is where you learn proofs. Couldn't proofs be just as easily emphasized in all the other math classes? -- _______________________________________ Christian Seberino, Ph.D. Email: ch...@seberino.org _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list Edu-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
