I have to force myself to slog through the early discovery stages of a new topic, and what I really enjoy is the application and the problem solving that come in the middle. I have to kind of fake finding it interesting to discover that alternate interior angles formed by parallel lines and a transversal have the same measure, but solving a fivetriangles problem that requires using that without spelling it out? SUPER COOL.<br /><br />If I could borrow your brain for teaching the discovery parts, I'm sure I'd be a better teacher. Julie Wrighthttp://www.twitter.com/msjwright2noreply@blogger.com
