Abstract:

These are notes for a second semester class that explores Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries from multiple perspectives, with an emphasis on developing problem solving, communication, and logical reasoning skills, directed primarily at pre-service secondary math. The non-Euclidian geometries include taxicab, hyperbolic, and spherical geometry. This is an inquiry-based class in which students spend most of their time in class working on problems in groups and then write them up. The materials are meant to be accompanied by the book Experiencing Geometry [Henderson & Taimina, 2005].
