Light Bulb

Today was a good day in my teaching career.  Today I conquered Sine Law ( Ambiguous Case)...I conquered it for the students.  You see, I hate the ambiguous case with a passion ( I get all confused, forget the details, get frustrated and annoyed every time I teach the #$%& topic).  But today...I rocked it.  Thanks so much to my fellow teacher Lisa for helping me out.  I taught the subject...watched the confusion cross over their faces...and started to panic inside.  I didn't want to transfer my complete hatred of the topic to them.  I improvised.  Drew half a triangle on the board and then taped string to one side and started to explain it all again.  This time I watched as all the the light bulbs went on.  It was an amazing experience.  What a way to brighten the day with the light of all the light bulbs in their heads.  Now if I could just get those darn grade 9's to understand circle properties, teaching life would almost be perfect.
