I think that composition as a geometry skill is often taken for granted. It's nice to see it incorporated in a sort of subliminal way. I'm coordinating some mathematical activities for a Pi Day celebration in my community next month and I'm going to use your game.

It's link number 10. I made it this summer at a workshop using Adobe Illustrator but I don't have the software myself. I have had the game for as long as I can remember and my students really like to play it. I do not know the original creator of the game so it's free. My pre-ap kids really enjoyed the Quadrilateral Detective.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14573150366827446517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2084641237928654834.post-53071246507695059692012-02-14T14:08:06.076-05:002012-02-14T14:08:06.076-05:00Lisa, thanks for your praise.

'Lisa' seems to be a common math teacher name... at least on this blog!<br /><br />I design most of my products using Microsoft Publisher. I know there are fancier programs out there, but this one is comfortable and familiar to me, so I'm reluctant to change. I get a lot of inspiration from observing other people's designs and try to model my work after things I like. Pinterest is great for gathering beautiful images that inspire you. And, I spend a lot of time in the revisionary process! Most of my products have seen several updates in both content and design.Emily Allmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08966304042607333303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2084641237928654834.post-4864622657601949442012-02-13T19:36:44.850-05:002012-02-13T19:36:44.850-05:00I absolutely love your work!!
