| Overview: |
This is
part of the University of Tennessee at Knoxville Math Archives
``Topics in Mathematics'' collection of links to mathematical material
on the Web. |
| Learning Goals: |
A resource for
further exploration. |
| Target Student Population: |
This is like the index of a Geometry Encyclopedia. The items are
marked with ``icons to quickly show the level of mathematical background
to read the materials'' ranging from K-6 to Graduate and Professional. |
| Prerequisite Knowledge or Skills: |
None. |
| Type of Material: |
A large list of links to
geometry-related sites on the World Wide Web. |
| Recommended Uses: |
An exploration of geometry at any level could begin here. |
| Technical Requirements: |
Any browser will work. |
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
Comprehensive and useful. |
| Concerns: |
Is this site
being updated? The copyright is 1995-2001. 13 links are
completely ``broken'', and another 12 lead to redirection pages.
(The latter occurs, for example, with any link to a Math Forum
page, since the Forum's server has changed from
forum.swarthmore.edu to mathforum.org.) |

Potential Effectiveness as a Teaching Tool |
Rating:   |
|
| Strengths: |
For a teacher or a student looking
for web-based geometry material, this page puts a very large number
(over 150) of sites just a click away. The icons allow one to know
beforehand the level of the material and the technology (Java, etc.)
it requires. The "keywords" give useful information beyond the
title. |
| Concerns: |
The site would
deserve a higher rating if it were regularly updated, but the
usefulness of a link index such as this depends greatly on the
links being kept current. |

Ease of Use for Both Students and Faculty |
| Rating: |
|
| Strengths: |
The organization is transparent. This
is part of an archive with 42 sections, so related topics can
be easily explored. |
| Concerns: |
None. |
