A Conceptual Approach to Right-Angled Trigonometry
(A Comparison of Conceptual and Procedural Approaches to Mathematics)
Hi there! The article (with the above title) that used to reside at this URL has been transformed into three separate items.
Item One (A Micro-Course)
An Understanding-first Approach to Teaching Right Angled Trigonometry
This mini-course contains information that is much more comprehensive than was contained in the original article. Access the mini-course here.
Item Two (New Article)
Why We Need To Use Less Block Practice And More Interleaving When Teaching Mathematics
Although an article in its own right, the information is key to the Conceptual Trigonometry tutorial. A short, compelling and easy read.
Item Three (New Article)
Why Students Need To Understand What They Are Working On For The Majority Of Lesson Time
This is a condensed - and much more readable - version of the original article that previously existed here.
The original article attempted to address too many aspects and failed, in my view, to successfully address any of them. I'm really happy with the three new replacement items as they each make a lot more sense.
Enjoy!
