Looking for something new in Geometry? ESU #8 has just received the following new titles:

BK2848 Geometry to Go (IJ) Has everything you need for geometry success: logic and proof, basic elements of geometry, coordinate geometry, polygons, measurement, similarity, congruence, transformations, circles, solids, problem solving, non-Euclidean geometry. Geometry to Go also includes a handy Almanac with math prefixes and suffixes, study tips, guidelines for using geometry software and a graphing calculator, test-taking strategies, helpful tables, and more. Comes with a teachers resource book.

BK2849 Navigating Through Geometry in Grades 6 - 8 This book presents the study of geometry in the middle grades as a pivotal point in the mathematical learning of students. Activities focus on visualization, analysis, and informal deduction. The authors describe the van Hiele framework and how it can help improve teaching strategies and assessment. Includes: Blackline masters, selected articles in PDF format, Applets, and more. Macintosh® & Windows® compatible. Recommended browser is Internet Explorer 5. Adobe® Acrobat® Reader 4 or above is required for viewing PDFs.

BK2850 Navigating Through Geometry in Grades 9 - 12 Concentrates on topics such as the use of transformations, coordinates and matrices, congruence and similarity, and fractals and introductory limit notions. Provides activities that require the use of technology (interactive geometry software, a calculator, or a computer with software that provides geometric images and graphs). Includes:
Blackline masters, selected articles in PDF format, Applets, and more. Macintosh® and Windows® compatible. Recommended browser is Internet Explorer 5. Adobe® Acrobat® Reader 4 or above is required for viewing PDFs. The Acrobat® Reader plug-in is included on this CD.

BK2851 Geometry Out Loud: Learning Mathematics Through Reading & Writing Activities Written for mathematics teachers of students in grades 9 - 12, this easy-to-use resource is filled with illustrative examples, strategies, activities, and lessons that will help students more easily understand mathematical text and learn the skills they need to effectively communicate mathematical concepts.

BK2852 Get It Together Gives math teachers materials to introduce and foster cooperative problem solving in their classrooms. Cooperative learning helps students see that mathematics doesn’t have to be learned in isolation. It helps all students succeed in math. Get It Together is a collection of over 100 mathematics problems for groups of 2-6 students in grades 4 and beyond. The problems cover a wide range of subject matter and difficulty. This book also includes advice on management and assessment.
