This course will be devoted to the geometry of the Euclidean plane and 3-space. A number of mathematical approaches will be used and a number of pedagogical approaches will be used. The software tool called The Geometer's Sketchpad will be used throughout the course, but classroom Sketchpad activities will be concentrated in the associated Math 497 Computer Lab.
There will be regular homework to be turned in (mostly weekly), but also daily activities and assignments that may occur more frequently. There will be a number of announced quizzes and a midterm and a final. Unannounced classroom assessments will also take place, some to get student feedback and some to assess what students are learning.
Grades will be based on the tests (about 60%) the homework (about 30%) and classroom participation (about 10%).
