Learning Geometry Online

Experience proves that anyone who has studied geometry is infinitely quicker to grasp difficult subjects than one who has not. (PLATO) For today’s Technology Tip we have some websites for our Math teachers to enjoy.  Of course, according to Plato we could all use a little more geometry in our lives..  These sites are also good examples of the kinds of interactive tutorials that students can find online:  Middle School Geometry from IES inc. in Japan: http://www.ies-math.com/math/java/geo/index.html Geometry and Other Mathematics Links from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in the U.S.A.:http://illuminations.nctm.org/WebResourceList.aspx?Ref=2&Std=2&Grd=0 Geometric Terms Activities at Quia.com: http://www.quia.com/jg/65535.html Geometry Manipulatives Online from the Utah State University: http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/category_g_3_t_3.html And don't underestimate the value of playing an online educational game. As many teachers know, "educational game" is not an oxymoron at all. Here are just a few of the many online geometry games and activities that could be used to help students understand geometry concepts. Geometry Games from Kids Math Games Online: http://www.kidsmathgamesonline.com/geometry.html Geometry Math Games from Diona Popovici in Romania who developed Math-Play.com: http://www.math-play.com/Geometry-Math-Games.html Gamequarium Geometry Games by Diana Dell in Missouri, U.S.A. http://www.gamequarium.com/geometry.html  And by the way, CoolMath-Games.com doesn't feature many actual math games at all. Don't let any students try to fool you.

PRACTICE ACTIVITY:  Visit two or three of the sites above and see what they have to offer. TO KEEP ON LEARNING:  To find more geometry tutorial sites online try searching for: Online geometry tutorial Interactive geometry Math tutorials
