My Students

We need more geometry tools! "Geometry is beautifully logical, and it teaches you how to think and prove that things are so, step by step by step. Proofs are excellent lessons in reasoning. Without logic and reasoning, you are dependent on jumping to conclusions or - worse - having empty opinions."

Our school is part of a network of public schools that specializes in developing a model that provides academic and social support for at-risk urban young men.

My scholars are first time geometry students who are preparing for a difficult state examination at the end of the year.

My Project

Geometry is incredibly visual and marking up diagrams is an essential part of being able to apply givens and draw conclusions to solve geometric problems. Without the appropriate technology in the classroom that allows me to model this important skill, my students are put in a place of great disadvantage. With a projector, I will be able to quickly cast diagrams onto the whiteboard and show my students how to correctly mark givens and the geometric relations that can be drawn from these givens.

Mastering this essential skill will allow my students to build a strong foundation in geometry and logic that will continue to provide them with success when they enter more advance mathematical subjects.
