I finished the review for chapter 4. This is for a pop quiz on Monday. I’m still having a little trouble with proofs given certain circumstances, but it is easy for me to derive answers for figuring angle measures and etc. I think this has to do with my spatial strength, i.e., being able to see and work through problems. However, putting the proofs into language is a bit more difficult. The spacial idea came to me when reading a comment in Wired magazine. Regarding intelligence tests, an individual commented on the difficulty some individuals experience when asked to rotate an images in their mind; he recommended rotating the paper – however, for me, it is very easy to rotate shapes in my mind, whereas other areas I have more difficulty. I will go over the linguistic element of proofs in the near future. I understand the importance, for this is the conceptual aspect and how geometry is communicated.
