Making Connections

This has been an amazing few weeks for me as a teacher. As I talked about earlier, I decided to teach my Geometry unit differently this year. I first had the boys set up a slide show from their research of different Geometry words that I had given them. Then I set the class up as a discussion, debate, and investigation format. I could have never dreamed about how well it went. The boys came up with amazing questions and connections. They had to back up everything with proof. I cannot wait to hear what they come up with next. We are going to be starting to add in some formulas into the discussions.

I would love to hear about different ways your school is teaching geometry.
