Students enjoy and retain geometric rules better when I use hands-on and discovery learning in my lessons. I recently had knee replacement surgery and while at physical therapy I saw these wonderful large protractors and I began to brainstorm on how I could use them with my students
I would like the students to use these medical protractors to do measurements to investigate so that they can form the rules of triangles, quadrilaterals & other polygons. Measuring the angle of body parts when throwing a football, shooting a basketball, or crossing their legs while seated and using those measurements to form shapes will be very powerful and allow the students to internalize their own meanings for "geometry rules."
