How are you doin' on that math? I'm teaching a lot of geometry to 2 of my classes this week. I'm lovin' it. I love geometry! :-)

Ducking... my students groan and roll their eyes when I say that. I know they really want to throw things at me. LOL

loved geometry. I got into doing the proofs. Everyone else moaned. One thing I remember is having to do an original proof of the Pythagorean theorem. Do you know how many times that thing has been proven and how difficult it is to come up with an original? It was fun :-)

Learning how to figure perimeter and area of simple plane shapes. It's easy for both of us and we enjoy talking about it...actually went out and figured the perimeter and area of the screened-in porch.

Shows the forula, you know?

P=2xL+2xW
A=LxW

We measured the porch and then he set it up using the formula.
