The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

Heron's formula is a formula that gives the area of a triangle given the lengths of its three sides. It is named after Heron of Alexandria, a Greek mathematician who lived in the 1st century AD. The formula is: A = sqrt(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)) where: A is the area of the triangle s is the semiperimeter of the triangle, which is half the sum of the lengths of the three sides a, b, and c are the lengths of the three sides of the triangle Heron's formula can be derived using trigonometry or geometry.
