Wiki Collaboration Party - Geometry Misconceptions + Elimination Grid

This week, we will be improving:

Current statusContinuationBrainstorming
Target AudienceGeometry Level 1-2Logic Level 2-3
MotivationTo avoid common misconceptions and learn from mistakesTo be determined
Meeting at1/9 Sat 8pm PST, 1/10 Sun 9.30 am IST1/9 Sat 8am PST, 1/9 Sat 9:30 pm IST
Chatroom#Mathematics#Logic

Each meeting will be conducted over Slack chat and will last for approximately 60-90 minutes. We will achieve the following:

  1. (5 mins) Figure out the target audience, and their motivation for reading the page
  2. (20 mins) (Quick review of examples) Discuss what we love / don't love
  3. (15 mins) Ensure we have a complete list of examples
  4. (15 mins) Discuss how to organize various sections of the page
  5. (10 mins) Settle on the final structure of the page
  6. (5 mins) Assign out sections to write over the week

If you have any questions, please comment below!

In addition, we will also be hosting 1-1 wiki mentoring sessions, for those wanting to craft excellent wiki pages. Over the course of a week, you will learn how to structure the page, present information in a clear and concise manner, and also select relevant examples that highlight the value of the concept.

If you are interested, send me a message on Slack, and state the wiki page that you would like to work on.

If you don't have a preference, here are some high traffic wiki pages that could be greatly improved:

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

  • Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
  • Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
  • Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
  • Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Aareyan, if we have something to contribute to the wikis are we free to just edit it?
