Polygons Galore!: A Mathematics Unit for Hi… por Dana Johnson
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.This book really expanded my thinking mathematically on how to present polygons in my classroom. This fits perfectly with the CGI program we currently use to teach math that encourages a hands-on, deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. A perfect book to have on a teacher's bookshelf! I definitely recommend it to stretch thinking for yourself and your classroom.
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.If you teach elementary grades or have below-grade level middle school classes, this would be a terrific book! The exercises, actually explorations, centered on polygons and a bit on polyhedra are well thought through and well written. It is a complete unit, with a pre- and post-test.
While I teach high school math, and the students are required to know significantly more, some of the exercises can be modified for my lower students or for special education students.
Very impressed! I only wish this for geared for high school.… (más)

Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.This is an excellent unit for gifted math students, both deep and engaging. Instruction is accomplished through inquiry-based units - no spoon feeding here. Activities are hands-on and elegant. The text manages to lift the veil off of mathematics and allow students a peek at its beautiful under-workings, which should excite the already math-inclined student and, at very least, make a pass at grabbing the interest of the otherwise focused.
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.This is a book containing 9 lessons in geometry and is focused on polygons and polyhedra. It approaches the topics from a discovey angle. I believe this enhances understanding. This is aimed at 3rd to 5th grade high-ability learners. I, however, believe most of it could be handled by all students.
I like how it explains the origins of area formulas. This, too often, is left out of most curriculums. I certainly never learned it until I got into college.
I like the simple approach in each exercise. These lessons should be fun.
