Steemit Learning Challenge S23 Application: Geometry with GeoGebra

I was delighted to find SLC here, but previously, there were restrictions not only for teachers but even for students. It’s wonderful that now many users, both individually and in pairs, can join these courses as students or instructors.

Last season, I did not apply, so I am once again hopeful to submit my application to participate in SLC23.

In the past, I conducted programming lessons, which I plan to return to in future seasons. This time, however, I want to start teaching Geometry.

During the nearly two-month break, I prepared lessons on Geometry. In my country, geometry begins in the 7th grade when students are 13 years old. This course will also start with the basic concepts of Geometry — such as points, segments, lines, rays, angles, length, area, triangles, and more. But it won’t be just theory and problems. There’s a great program called Geogebra, and I will teach geometry using it. Students will also need to complete their homework in this program. Here, they will demonstrate their knowledge, creativity, and approach to creating geometric figures. This will make it impossible or at least significantly limit the use of AI, as verbal responses will not be the main focus of the tasks but rather a secondary element that complements the geometric constructions provided through video or GIF animations. When evaluating homework, I will focus primarily on practical execution, and of course, the tasks must include good explanations.

I also plan to offer tasks of two levels for students to choose from: completing easier tasks or a few more challenging ones for more advanced users. Winners will be selected proportionally from these two groups. A few simple tasks to involve as many users as possible, and one or two serious tasks for more experienced users—so everyone stays engaged and can participate.
