EDUX 7185. This course is one of five Learning Math workshops for elementary and middle school teachers (K-8). It introduces geometric reasoning as a method for problem-solving. In this course, which is organized around the content standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), participants will explore the properties of geometric figures and make constructions using pencil, paper, and dynamic software. Learners also will practice using mathematical language to express ideas and justify their reasoning. Some important geometric ideas, such as symmetry, similarity, and trigonometry, will also be examined. Participants will begin to explore the basis of formal mathematical proofs and solid geometry. The course workshop progresses from more visual, intuitive ways of solving problems to more formal explorations of geometric ideas, properties, and proofs.
