Welcome to the Geometry Zone
(Geometry, Period C)
Are you nervous when you see NCWEE? concerned when you see CIRC? perturbed when you see PBC? Visit Mr. Hansen’s fabled abbreviations page to make sense of those cryptic markings you see on your papers.
Parents: As you requested at the Parent Tea on Sept. 26, I have found some information about the Geometer's Sketchpad software. The price is $119.95 for Macintosh or Windows. The publisher, Key Curriculum Press, also offers a Sketchpad Student Edition for $39.95, but my understanding of the $39.95 offer is that it applies only to schools that have a site license. Because St. Albans has only a 10-user pack plus 1 extra license for the 11 machines in Room S, you would probably need to purchase the $119.95 full version if you wish to have Sketchpad at home. If several families would be interested in doing this, we should try to coordinate our efforts so that the school could upgrade to a site license and save each purchaser $80. If you have any questions, please contact me by e-mail or at 202-537-6693. --EMH
