Return Home: Integrating Geometer's SketchPad into Mathematics Curriculum
Unit Objectives
Participants will integrate Geometer's SketchPad into a current lesson.
OR
Participants will create a new lesson with Geometer's SketchPad.
It is now time to create/develop your own lesson that incorporates Geometer's SketchPad!!
I have outlined some steps that will guide you in creating your lesson.
1) Pick your topic and grade level.
2) Figure out how familiar students are with the software. This is necessary due to the need of including an introduction to the software.
3) What do you want to teach? Basic Concept, extension of topics, construction/application of a topic, etc.
4) Do you want to give students a step by step guide as to what they need to complete? or An outline of overall goals to be reached?
Possible Topics?
1) Slope
2) Angles
3) Transformations
3) Properties of Circles
