Using only elementary geometry, determine angle x. Provide a step-by-step proof.
You may only use elementary geometry, such as the fact that the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees and the basic congruent triangle rules (side-angle-side, etc.). You may not use more advanced trigonomery, such as the law of sines, the law of cosines, etc. There is a review of elementary geometry below.

The School of Rock Expedition was a 13 day educator professional development expedition aboard a scientific ocean drilling vessel. Learn more about the expedition via videos, blogs, and interactive activities. Download curriculum developed by the educators on the expedition.
State education officials, worried that many elementary teachers struggle with math, are making it harder to get a teaching license and urging colleges to offer more demanding courses for aspiring teachers.
American schools aren't exactly frozen in time, but considering the pace of change in other areas of life, our public schools tend to feel like throwbacks.
Kids spend much of the day as their great-grandparents once did: sitting in rows, listening to teachers lecture, scribbling notes by hand, reading from textbooks that are out of date by the time they are printed.
This looks like a well-constructed site to share resources, use FREE tools, and build teacher community.
Google recognizes the central role that teachers play in breaking down the barriers between people and information, and we support educators who work each day to empower their students and expand the frontiers of human knowledge. This website is one of the ways we're working to bolster that support and explore how Google and educators can work together.
The applet below computes the area of a figure made of rectangles which approximates the region under the given curve. This curve is the graph of a polynomial of degree three or less. The coefficients are listed in the boxes just above the graph. In the start-up exampel they are 0, 1, 0, 0, correspoding to the graph
y = x2,
a parabola.
This website has fun facts and applications of math for all topics. I can see the teacher using this website as a way to introduce a unit or once a week at the beginning of class you start out with a fun fact for the particular course you are teaching as a way to get the students interested. The facts are meant to be “cool” for students to become interested and think about math in another way.
