Reports an investigation to determine whether Vector and Analytic Methods make appropriate topics for high school students. It is concluded that they are. (BR)

Outlined are the minimum requirements for a quinmester course of introduction to high school geometry. After a description of the course content and overall goals, further details are presented in nine sections. Each section gives performance objectives, textbook references, content (including lists of vocabulary and associated properties), and…

A method is given for the analysis of geodesic domes involving plane geometry. The method shows how to calculate all necessary angles and chords, given the length of one side. (MP)

The relationship between area and perimeter is presented through a series of laboratory-type activities and demonstrations. (SD)

A Snip of the Scissors" describes the geometry involved in making stars by paper folding, and Checking the Calculated Average Through Subtraction" suggests practice in operations with negative numbers. (MM)

This volume, a reprinting of a classic first published in 1952, presents detailed discussions of 26 curves or families of curves, and 17 analytic systems of curves. For each curve the author provides a historical note, a sketch or sketches, a description of the curve, a discussion of pertinent facts, and a bibliography. Depending upon the curve,…
