I guess I have been around a while, but just started writing stuff down. Kinda like a re-entry student. It’s amazing what you learn once you know it all. Thanks for the kind words Jackie. They mean alot.

Sam and Kate are wise. I too thought you’d been around quite a while. However when I saw your blog on the list, you got my vote!

Thanks, Mrs. H. At least I’m not going to get shut out.

@Dan
Thanks alot. You know your non-endorsement is gonna cost me a major award. I was looking forward to receiving that lamp.I had a place in my front window all cleared off. So now when Sweeney wins this thing, I have you to blame.

I’m embarrassed to admit I didn’t even think about your blog when it came to this category. Felt like it’s been around pretty much forever. Keep up the good work.

We had a blast, that’s for sure. Glad it could inspire.

Oh my goodness. I don’t know what’s cuter, the kids singing in unison or them waving cell phones.

You really made me want to pick up the guitar again w/ this one. =)

@joshg
I had done a lab re: draw v. construct, but it was in the first quarter. Needed to refresh.

@Riley
I had the same conversation about torque with a colleague yesterday. Does that apply when dealing with median? To be honest, if he can just prove that all six triangles have The same areas, I’d be happy.

The question of balance is a very advanced investigation – what an impressive question to ask! Careful about the generalization of balance: triangles of equal area won’t necessarily balance even though they are of the same weight, since a long skinny triangle will create more torque than one more compact.

“Take a little more time discussing the difference between “drawing” and “constructing.””

There’s something I should’ve thought of a couple months ago. I am now adding that to my to-do list for the next time I do a geometry unit.
