Midpoint
One frustration I encountered last year in my geometry classes involved the Distance and Midpoint formulas. Our text book and I made the assumption that since my students had worked with these formulas, they would remember [...]

Graphing Polar Equations
We have spent some time learning how to graph circles, limacons, rose curves, and lemniscates on the polar coordinate plane. The material you see below is borrowed heavily from Yosh's Graphing Polar Equations part 1, [...]
Chords, Secants and Tangents, Oh my!
When starting a new unit on circles, I'm cognizant of how important learning the vocabulary is. Most geometry students are only familiar with the center, radius and diameter of a circle. Following a trigonometry unit, the word [...]
