It is an Honor to be a GeoGebra Ambassador

GeoGebra

GeoGebra has recently awarded the title of GeoGebra Ambassador to individuals who have helped popularized the software. I am honored to be one of the chosen ambassadors.

I have been blogging about GeoGebra for quite a long time. I have created more than 50 tutorials in beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. I have created another blog titled GeoGebra Applet Central where I have collected applets since I started using the software.

Here in the Philippines, I am currently a teacher trainer in UP NISMED. UP NISMED is the host Institute of the GeoGebra Institute of Metro Manila, our local GeoGebra Institute. Since 2005, we have been integrating GeoGebra in teacher trainings and curriculum materials development.

Sanjay Gulati (India), and Steve Phelps (USA) of the GeoGebra Institute of Ohio were the other two GeoGebra Ambassadors. I’m sure more people will be awarded.

Thank you GeoGebra!

Aside from the Apple logo, it is said that the iCloud logo also obeys the Golden ratio. » Read more

11 Mathematical Proof Techniques Liberal Arts Majors Should Know

Funny Mathematics

We can be certain that the sum of two even numbers is  even without adding all the possible pairs.

For the liberal arts majors, the proofs below will be of great help to you, but I think the math majors are going to appreciate them more. » Read more
