PEMDAS goes

a teacher
you will
read a
primary
source from
a different
teacher out
there that
talks about
different but
fun ways to
teach
geometry
lessons. As
for teaching

sometimes we
need help
teaching
things from a
different
method.
Through this
we will be able

will create a

of the
journey that
he goes on.
Each point
will be
represented
by a fun fact
of that
destination.
Students will
then put

see how

Other
Reflection: Overall, I think this was a very tricky matrix to create. There were many times where I felt like what I was
saying was very repetitive and did not really better help me to understand what the assignment. The students will be
able to understand where you can find primary sources and how that makes sense for past things because of the life
people before us had. I think that this is a very tricky one to figure out because the topic was so big. I dont really want
to constantly do Google Trek lessons for things if it doesnt make sense for that type of situation. However, there are
not always primary sources out there for math or even sciences but I think that also, that is a learning process and it
will all work out the way it is supposed to!
