I am currently working as a Paraprofessional in a middle school. I am in an 8th grade algebra class once a day. Currently we are learning about the Pythagorean Theorem. I can say this, I have a masters degree and don't remember ever learning about this Theorem before. In fact, I am learning their 8th grade algebra with them so that I can help the students.
You may use my photos freely! I wish I had had practical way to apply some of the math we learned. Some of just seemed like busy work!
