A compilation of geometry teaching resources : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Finding and gathering resources to use in a classroom is time consuming and it is often difficult for beginning teachers to find the time to bring in outside resources. In addition, veteran teachers are constantly looking for new materials and resources to incorporate into the classroom. This collection of geometry resources has been compiled with these two audiences in mind. New teachers will find extra activities that can easily supplement the textbook. Veteran teachers may find some interesting activities that they may not have seen before.The activities contained in this project are broken into eight categories: visualization/planning/reasoning/critical thinking, lines, triangles, polygons, circles, solids, projects and miscellaneous resources. Each activity is in a format that can be ready for a classroom. In addition, if appropriate, each activity has an answer sheet following immediately. Included in this project is a CD with all of the activities so that a teacher using these resources can easily edit an activity to fit their individual classroom.
