Summary and Synthesis

In class so far this semester, we have been exploring geometry and new ways to discover how to scale shapes to a larger size, find the area of a triangle with out the formula and making observations about triangles. I would have never thought about teaching math in the way we are learning to problem solve and determine and justify answers with out the answer given to the students. Students get to work through the problem with out a formula. I think that it is a good way to get students problem solving and remembering how to do math problems.
