Making geometry more interesting to high school students

by nr

Apr 13, 2016

Hi- I have a long-term sub position teaching math @ a transfer high school in NYC. I am new to teaching Geometry, and was not given a curriculum or textbook, and have been trying to piece things together on my own. The students have been complaining that it is boring. Any suggestions on how to spice it up?

Thanks,

nr

Xenakis MathGame

by John J. Xenakis

Mar 17, 2016

Hi,

I've written an Android app called "Xenakis MathGame." This was a personal project. I make no money from it. It's free, has no ads and no permissions.

I'm now describing this not as a game but as a tool for practicing for math SATs or testing math aptitude. I've added many problem types, so no...See More

Math Teach. Yes, very nicely done, Angelian. Most of us Math teachers were math majors, and I can assure you that after handling ODE's and PDE's, proving that cyclical groups are abelian, etc, we can read and write decimals. Next question?

Teaching kids not on level

by Tara

Feb 19, 2016

I have a teacher who has 7th grade students, practically all of them, who are performing at around a fourth grade level. He is a first year and very concerned because they aren't able to do the work, but next year, if he tries to meet them where they are at, then they won't have additional skills needed to move along. Any tips?
