To Master or Not to Master?

12/8/06

This week, my classes worked on problem 1.3 in Stretching and Shrinking. The problem asks students to compare the side lengths, angles, perimeter, and area of three similar figures. Right now I am teaching two math classes back-to-back. My first class is average, overall. There are a few high-achieving students and a few low-achieving students. The second class I teach is a slightly lower-level class, which (ironically) has fewer special education students in it.
