MIRA Activities for Senior Grades
Every time a student uses a MIRA, the concept of bilateral symmetry is invoked.
This allows the student to progress from bisecting angles, drawing
perpendiculars and parallel lines in the middle grades, to drawing the conic
sections and even to inscribing ellipses in a given triangle in the senior
grades. This type of experimental geometry provides an opportunity for the
student to draw and become familiar with the properties of the figures that will
be studied analytically later on. 124 pages. Grade 9 and up.
MIRA Activities for Senior Grades
The activities in this book use the MIRA to investigate the role of bilateral
symmetry in geometry. Exercises are designed to help students discover spatial
relationships, recognize geometric shapes, and prepare for further geometry
concepts when they reach the middle grades. Includes teacher guidelines for each
activity. 148 pages. Grades 5-8.
Turn rotation symmetry into an effective method of discovery! Students see the
multiple reflections they create by controlling the angle size of this hinged
mirror. Create angles up to 180° using the base. The mirror instantly brings
into full view images that are difficult and time-consuming to draw. Use the
removable protractor base to fix the angle accurately at 45 degrees to create the image
of an octagon! Explore symmetry and investigate numerical patterns that can be
demonstrated geometrically. Use the mirror without the base to hypothesize the
properties of special angles; then draw conclusions and discover the impact of
an angle. Grades 4-12.
Patty Paper Geometry by Michael Serra
Guided
and open-ended blackline investigations encourage students to explore and
discover geometry using the square pieces of wax patty paper that butchers use
to layer hamburgers in a stack. Separate 80-page Student Workbook contains all
the open activities and some spiral exercise sets. Teacher's Resource Book,
Student Workbook, and 1000 sheets of Patty Paper are included. Grades 6-10.
Math in Motion: Origami in the Classroom Kit

origami paper-folding exercises. Student explore geometric shapes, patterns, and
abstract concepts with engaging, hand-on activities. The open-ended "see-it, say
it, write it" format helps them learn to communicate mathematically. Kit

squares in assorted colors. Grades K-8.
Fifty Fathoms: Statistics Demonstrations for Deeper Understanding
Fifty Fathoms is a collection of fifty demos for the first-year statistics
course that use Fathom, the great dynamic statistics software from Key
Curriculum Press. Topics run the gamut from first-week material such as the
meaning of mean and median, though fitting and inference, to strange topics such
as the bizarre Cauchy distribution and the consequences of heteroscedasticity.
The CD that comes with the book includes the demo files and a limited-use
version of the software.
