We are no longer actively developing this wiki. Pages that claim to have restricted access are open to everyone now (i.e. homework solution pages). Until the day this moves to WikiBooks, we aren't giving out accounts unless you really want to get involved.

If you are an instructor teaching a course entirely or partly from this book, we would still love to hear from you! Write to Bryan or Anneke and say hello.

Teaching Math & Escher

• General Philosophy behind the course
• Elementary Education (K-8) NCTM standards and some resources.
• Secondary Education (9-12) NCTM standards and some resources.

• In the Summer of 2008, Anneke and Bryan hosted an MAA online workshop "Geometry and Art." The workshop had extensive discussions of how we teach this material and some cool contributions, but it is now lost to the ravages of time and lack of IT support.
