EDU-785 Geometrical Thinking (2)

This course ensures that participants acquire knowledge of the big ideas and topics in middle and high school geometry. Participants learn, rehearse, and enact pedagogical practices to promote, gather, and interpret students’ geometric thinking and reasoning in secondary mathematics classrooms. Standards for mathematical practice and standards-based habits of mind for geometrical thinking serve as theoretical frameworks for defining high-quality geometrical thinking and reasoning. Participants experience and discuss the attributes of secondary mathematics learning environments that promote and foster geometric sense making as it relates to teacher moves and task selection. Participants evaluate the effectiveness of their planning or implementation. Grading: A-F only. Restriction: Teaching (MAT) [City Teaching Alliance].
