Every time I do it I think, I do not say it, "you don't know THAT?!?!". These are the teachers that are always complaining for the lack of basic knowledge of our students but they do not consider percentages, fractions, ratios an basic geometry as "BASIC KNOWLEDGE".Juan Felipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10848238234573213231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-88586093779913990762009-06-20T09:54:24.398-05:002009-06-20T09:54:24.398-05:00I would say that basic geometry knowlege is VERY i...I would say that basic geometry knowlege is VERY important - especially if you are a homeowner!!! We are working on a patio cover for our back yard and without measurement skills, basic area knowledge, etc, it would be very tough. <br /><br />This is a great question though - I'm about to leave for an AVID workshop and I will ask the LA and History teachers what they thinkdruinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363634340959613461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-35052760138704635632009-06-20T09:44:28.131-05:002009-06-20T09:44:28.131-05:00It seems from your story that these folks needed t...It seems from your story that these folks needed to use that forgotten math to complete some kind of task. Surely that's a sign that it's useful.<br /><br />Interesting to think about what other content-area teachers would think adults should know.

Even worse, to my mind, is the number if adults who don't understand basic fractions, percents, and rate calculations. Surely everyone needs to understand that stuff?Elissa Cafferynoreply@blogger.com
