But they are definitely not the content I am teaching. My current status on this: I am using the textbook, since there are two sections and the other teacher, a part-timer, has already used this book and would have to do more work to switch. But I am doing lots more than the book. I will devote a significant portion of classtime to 'labtime', and we'll be doing lots of constructions, by hand or online (using sciencevsmagic.net and euclidthegame.com, along with geogebra). | |
