Courses, Classroom Materials, Student Work
- Discoveries in Geometry
- An Investigative Geometry course based on a course taught by Alan McRae at Indiana University. Investigations for students use special points for triangles to define particular configurations for quadrilaterals. This Web version was created by McRae and Heidi Burgiel of the Geometry Center at the University of Minnesota.
- Dueling Pinwheels - Cynthia Lanius
- For beginners: transformations - rotations, translations, reflections
- How Much Money Do Baseball Players Really Make? - Ed Malczewski
