Geometry games online

I have updated the list of online geometry resources and games at HomeschoolMath.net. It became quite a long list of links! The links are categorized by topics, such as

Shapes & polygons 
Area & perimeter 
Angles 
Solids, volume, & surface area
Coordinate plane 
Congruent transformations 
Similar figures 
Circle / Pi 
Constructions 
Pythagorean Theorem 
General geometry websites 
Worksheets 
Books 
Advanced topics.

I hope this is helpful!

Dear Maria,

I really appreciate your collection of resources on your geometry blog post, .

I became interested in online geometry resources after I was assigned a research project in the field. In the course of doing my research I came across this great article: http://www.guidetoonlineschools.com/library/geometry that covers facts, online games and activities and the best guides and tutorials and thought you might enjoy it as well.

I know this article would be a great addition to your information, and I'm sure that it could help many of your users. Let me know what you think!

Best Wishes,

Lauren

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 it as 4

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
