EDU-763 Geometry for Elementary Grades (2)

In this course, participants are immersed in the progression of the standards for geometry in grades K through 6. Participants acquire knowledge about the theoretical model of geometric understanding (van Hiele) and use this to select a math task aligned to standards, develop lesson plans, and analyze and use student performance data to inform future instruction. Emphasis is placed on identifying community assets and resources and leveraging those assets to plan geometry instruction that is real-world, authentic, and meaningful for elementary learners. Participants demonstrate their understanding of geometric progression in the standards, levels of geometric understanding, and community assets. Grading: A-F only. Restriction: Teaching (MAT) [Urban Teachers].
