Being a former high school math teacher myself (and now a homeschooling mom for our elementary-aged children), I have always loved finding fun and interesting ways to present math to my students. Your ideas are fantastic, and I look forward to learning from you!Brandy at Half-a-Hundred Acre Woodhttp://halfahundredacrewood.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386409393041651040.post-75164102319951458572011-03-27T23:47:26.438-05:002011-03-27T23:47:26.438-05:00I am currently a Math Ed major and enjoyed your id...I am currently a Math Ed major and enjoyed your idea for using pipe cleaners to demonstrate transformations of graphs. I also liked the kinesthetic right triangle lesson, too. These are some ideas I am going to take note of and incorperate into my lessons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386409393041651040.post-16025466465223805152011-03-02T16:05:57.811-06:002011-03-02T16:05:57.811-06:00Thanks for this idea.

I wanted an Interactive Program where I could grab the graph and shift it as opposed to changing the parameters and seeing the how the graph moves. Have you seen such a program? I'll let you know how the lesson goes.Sheri Eastmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16316431483583539221noreply@blogger.com
