Our home page focuses on the geometry of art and architecture.  We do not claim to have exhausted or even substantially touched the wealth of electronic resources available on the Internet.  The value of our enterprise, if it has value, lies at least as much in the principles that guided selection as in the materials selected.<p>

We see our site as a work in progress.  We have been guided in our work by the National Council of Teacher of Mathematics Curriculum and Evaluation Standards.  This seminal document construes math as an activity and process, not as a body of content to be mastered.  Thus, standards are presented for Mathematics as Problem Solving, Mathematics as Communication, Mathematics as Reasoning, and Mathematical Connections.  <p>

We think geometry is important for several reasons.  Information is becoming increasingly visual, and a knowledge of how space works is an essential life skill.  As teachers we see geometry as capable of inspiring awe as well as analysis in learners.    All of us are constructivists, believing with Piaget that "to understand is to invent" and that learners need to be active in constructing meaning.  We have, therefore, included numerous areas for browsing, and numerous pointers to things to do and ways to do them.  We see mathematics as having a history and as being connected to other areas of human inquiry.
