RIDGE and Teachers
What
can RIDGE offer teachers?
Materials
An essential part of the RIDGE
project was the creation of materials to be used in the project, that
can also be useful to teachers. These include:
- Problems
suitable for use in dynamic geometry environments,
- Activity worksheets
used in math club setting
- Activity worksheets used in the classroom setting
Workshops
The RIDGE team is committed to
supporting teachers who wish to make more use of dynamic geometry and
problems solving in their teaching. Workshops will be
offered at schools on
request. Possible workshop topics include:
- An introduction to
Geometer's Sketchpad,
- An introduction to Cabri
Geometry,
- Using Cabri JR on the TI 84
graphing calculator
- Using dynamic geometry
software as a demonstration tool
- Using dynamic geometry
software at a learning station
- Using dynamic geometry
software in the computer lab
- Quadrilaterals and dynamic
geometry
- Triangles and dynamic
geometry: Black Boxes
- Transformational geometry
and dynamic geometry 1
- Transformational geometry
and dynamic geometry 2: Black Boxes
- Circles and dynamic geometry
(Grade 11)
Online
tutorials
Tutorials are provided on the
RIDGE web site to help teachers make
better use of dynamic geometry software. These include:
- Black Box How To:
instructions for creating macros for use in
Black Box activities
