Class on the 16th...

I really enjoyed last Monday's class. Much of the material was review for me but it was much needed review as some of my details on proofs are a bit fuzzy. I think the activities were great and are something I would definitely like to do with my class if I ever teach geometry. So overall, it was an edutaing class!

NCTM Research Chapters

I read both of the chapters from the NCTM book this week. Once again I am stuck but what a difficult job elementary teachers have. The idea of having to teach something as basic as using a ruler is mind boggling to me. Teaching calculus sounds like fun to me but teaching measurement sounds like a nightmare. I am very thankful that there are talented teachers out there who enjoy teaching things that I don't think I could.

Masters Project

Well, I think I have finally settled on a topic and it's not one of the original three ideas I had. I've decided to try to reproduce known fractals using sketchpad and maybe see if I can come up with some on my own. Since I have no idea what I will be teaching next year, I figured these would be fun to show my students in any class.
