General Information
Credits: 3
Description:
The course explores the foundations of informal measurement and geometry 'in one, two, and three dimensions. The van Hiele model for geometric learning is used as a framework for how children build their understanding of length, area, volume, angles, and geometric relationships. Visualization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling are stressed. As appropriate, transformational geometry, congruence, similarity, and geometric constructions will be discussed. Offered by Mathematics. May not be repeated for credit.
