I think it would be fun to go to a coffee shop and read peoples' tarot. I wouldn't charge anything, but ask that if people found it meaningful to throw some money in the barista tip jar. Where would be the best place to go, in your opinion? Either Ypsi or Ann Arbor work for me, I love both places.

EDIT: THank you for your comments! I'm doing Sweetwater in Ann Arbor, but if I have fun I'll do it again at some of your other recommended places.

EDIT: Thank you for your thoughts. I am going to try Sweetwater on Washington, but if I have a good time I might go somewhere else next week.

EDIT EDIT: There now.

Does anybody know if this is happening this year?

I can SELECT a graph. I can COPY it. But I can't paste my copy next to my original graph.
EDIT: I'm talking about vertex-edge graphs.

Rather than "Oh look! This is an ASA triangle! I do this!" which gives a bunch of stuff to memorize, and also the step of classify, I'm teaching it this way.

Here are "our friends"

1. Pythagorean Theorem
2. SOHCAHTOA
3. Sum of angles = 180
4. Law of Sines
5. Law of Cosines

To solve a triangle, look at whatcha got, and use our friends to figure out the rest (with practice). You can do everything with the last three - the first three are nice shortcuts for right triangles.

What about the ambiguous case? SSA? If you remember that's the toughie, be careful when taking the arcsine. Otherwise? ALWAYS be careful when taking the arcsine.

What do you all think?

EDIT: Twotoneteacher clarifies: "Solving a Triangle is short hand for solving for the six sides and angles when given at least three of them."

EDIT: What I am objecting to is MEMORIZING things like:

SSS you use the law of cosines first.
SAS you use the law of sines first
ASA you use the sum of angles = 180 to get the third angle, then you use the law of sines.

My friend would really appreciate people going through the same thing to talk to.
