For prospective elementary and middle school teachers. This text
provides a creative, inquiry-based experience with geometry that is
appropriate for prospective elementary and middle school teachers.
The coherent series of text activities supports each student's
growth toward being a confident, independent learner empowered with
the help of peers to make sense of the geometric world. This
curriculum is explicitly developed to provide future elementary and
middle school teachers with * experience recalling and
appropriately using standard geometry ideas, * experience learning
and making sense of new geometry, * experience discussing geometry
with peers, * experience asking questions about geometry, *
experience listening and understanding as others talk about
geometry, * experience gaining meaning from reading geometry, *
experience expressing geometry ideas through writing, * experience
thinking about geometry, and * experience doing geometry. These
activities constitute an "inquiry based" curriculum. In this style
of learning and teaching, whole class discussions and group work
replace listening to lectures as the dominant class activity.
The Mohawks were the largest group in the Iroquois confederacy of
Native American tribes in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
Living in what is now upstate New York and along the Canadian
border, they held political control over north-eastern America
before the colonial period, and were one of the first native
American groups to have contact with European explorers. First
published in 1938, this work contains a history of the Mohawks and
the Iroquois confederacy from the period 1704 to 1807 taken from
the archives of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in
Foreign Parts, founded in 1704 and at first active mainly in North
America. J. W. Lydekker provides a detailed history of the Mohawks'
co-operation and alliance with the British colonists during the
wars of the mid-eighteenth century and during the Revolutionary
War, seen from the perspective of the missionaries from the
Society.
