Dear Gene and Geometers
I read your article with great interest. I would like to add some
reasons to use the Geometry Forum.
-discover different approaches to introducing and/or developing concepts
-contribute and/or get help with interesting problems to reinforce
concepts
-what are teachers doing with proofs? any strong feelings out there?
-are other geometries being taught anywhere(non Euclidean)?
-are we interested in content only or is form important as well?
-what should a student (be able to do when he completes a geometry course?
-should there be minimum essentials?
I would be interested in comments from all.
