Math Mammoth Geometry 2 giveaway

Recently I offered one of my customers a free book for finding an error in the answer key... she declined and wished someone else could have it who is in need.

So I'll give one electronic copy of Math Mammoth Geometry 2 book (PDF file) to one randomly chosen lucky winner.

To participate, you need to do two things:
1) Leave a comment in this blogpost, explaining how and where you'd use this book, AND
2) Email me so I have your email address.

If you have no use for this geometry material, please don't participate, and let someone win who can use it.

If I choose a winner who didn't email me, then I cannot contact them. In that case I will have to choose another winner.

I'll first choose a few best entries based on how/where they'd use the book, and then choose randomly among those.

This 'contest' closes and winner will be chosen whenever I notice (in checking my mail) that there are at least 10 participants. So hurry up!

Oh, I would use this with either (both?) my 4th and 6th grade boys. I do fairly well in teaching math in general, but I have an absurd fear of Geometry. Something that helps me do it well would be much appreciated.

I have three daughters, the twins who are doing grade 6 and younger one who is doing grade 4. In my country naturally girls tend to be weaker in maths than boys. Although my daughters are above average in maths, I would like to constantly help them at home so that they maintain high grades in maths. I have always used resources from your website, they are very helpful and I know this book will definitely make my work much easier. Thank you very much for your support.

We'd love to use this for both our boys and our with our homeschool friends. Maths is a grey area for me, so my husband takes over in that area! Geometry is something we haven't tackled yet. It's unusual for us to be able to enter into give aways as we live in the UK and most resources are US based, so pdf format is really welcome.

Hi,
I would use the book for my son, who has HF Autism, and will (more than likely) be home for school next year for High School. The last I saw of Geometry was over 20 years ago. Ugh! So, I'm looking for resources.
My Best,
Tam

Meaning of factors in multiplication: four groups of 2, or 4 taken two times?

Someone asked me about the interpretation or meaning of the two numbers in multiplication, such as 4 × 2. Do you view it as four groups of 2 , or as four, taken two times ? Here's their question: "...I noticed that your explanation about how to interpret a math phrase, such as 4 × 2, is different from how I have understood it and taught it to my older daughter who was using RightStart Math at this level. Let me explain:  I see that you are using the first factor to denote number of groups and the second factor tells how many are in each group (4 × 2 would be interpreted 4 groups of 2).  On the other hand, I have taught and thought of it reversed, with the first factor telling how many are in each group and the second factor telling you how many groups (4 × 2 would be 4 taken 2 times).  I know that the difference in explanations does not ultimately change the product, but I am wondering what you thoughts are.  When I conceptually picture what I'm doing I see i...

Geometric art project: seven-circle flower design

Image
I got inspired by the blogpost Art School | Geometric Design with Islamic Art where Deborah shows how to make a neat flower design with seven circles , using a compass, and then coloring it using 2, 3, or 4 colors (or however many of your own). I think it ties in neatly with mathematics, and lets students practice drawing circles with a compass.  My girls loved the art/math project. Here are pictures they made: Here are step-by-step instructions for the flower design: 1.  Draw a line and a circle so that the circle's center point is on the line. Then mark the points where this circle intersects the line. 2. Use those points as center points, and draw two more circles. The radius is the same all the time, so make sure you don't change it on your compass!We used 5 cm as the radius, and that made the whole design fit neatly on a regular letter size paper. 3. Now note the two points marked in the picture. They will be used as center points in the next...
