Susan Smith has taught in the upper school at Ad Fontes Academy in Centreville, VA for 13 years. She has taught every mathematics class from Pre-Algebra to AP Calculus BC, as well as a Logic course, a Latin course, and a few science courses. Years ago she switched curricula in both Calculus and Geometry, and has enjoyed the challenge presented to re-engineer overall plans for the year as well as the more important challenge to refocus the lessons to maximize benefits to the students. Susan desires a balance between the creative options for teaching and the rigor required to master concepts needed in the upper level classes.
This workshop will give you all the reasons and tools you need to make the switch to the Elements. We’ll discuss what to include, what to ignore, and what to focus on, in the Elements and in recommended outside sources, including Algebra review and significant presentations. Make Geometry the foundational course for all later courses. Attendees will be prepared to build a full Geometry curriculum with Euclid’s Elements as their main textbook.
