Four questions with Priya Prasad, Assistant Professor, Department of Mathematics, The University of Texas at San Antonio.

• What is special about your GeT course? We have been working on creating a course that focuses on using transformations ( i.e. rigid motions) as axioms. What I like about using this axiomatic approach is that it services preservice teachers well, as it is aligned with our state standards for K-12 geometry, and it is an approach that our math majors, who also take this course, should be introduced to.
•  Who are your students? About forty percent are math majors who are taking applied mathematics and statistics track, forty percent are secondary preservice teachers, and twenty percent are preservice middle school teachers.
• What are you most interested in learning/achieving through participating with the GeT: A Pencil community? I am interested to learn abouI am interested in learning about what other instructors do and to situate myself in the community of GeT instructors. I have learned that because we all have different contexts and student populations specific to our institutions, it is not going to be possible to create a prototypical GeT course. However, it is interesting to learn where there is convergence of ideas and convergence of approaches, especially because there is this distinction of contexts.
• What is your favorite book you have read in the last few years? I am interested in learning about what other instructors do and to situate myself in the community of GeT instructors. I have learned that because we all have different contexts and student populations specific to our institutions, it is not going to be possible to create a prototypical GeT course. However, it is interesting to learn where there is convergence of ideas and convergence of approaches, especially because there is this distinction of contexts.
