FACILITATED LESSONS: SPACE GEOMETRY
What is a Teacher Facilitated Lesson?
Teacher Facilitated lessons are lessons that can be downloaded
from the internet to your own computer for use in the classroom.
These activities offer opportunities for students learn particular
math concepts either AT the computer or AWAY from the computer.
These lessons are facilitated by the teacher to some degree.
These
files are available to you in both the WORD (.doc) and PDF
format so that you can take the activity "as is"
(PDF) or take it in a form that you can easily modify (.doc)
to suit your own needs.
