Each unit of make-up consists of one of the lessons described below. How many units you owe depends on your own particular record.

YouÕll get a list of nifty lessons, with the level listed on the right. Cruise around them for a bit and admire.
Assignment: Do one of the lessons. By doing I mean that you should print out all of the sheets that can be printed (student and teacher both) and answer all of the questions. If there is an on-line activity you should actually do it, not just figure out what it would do if you did.
Then write a brief (one page or less) reflection on the lesson. Did it teach you anything? Was it fun to do? If you had a chance to teach it to some kids (a few or a class) do you think they would enjoy it.
Since the lessons vary a lot, I have chosen a list that I would consider worthwhile:
Cubes Everywhere
Corner to corner
Covering the Plane with Reptiles
Polygon Capture (find someone to play the game with)
Circle Packing
