MATH 506. Geometry for K-8

3.00
Explorations of 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 understand measurement and geometric relationships. Visualization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling are stressed. Transformational geometry, congruence, similarity, and geometric constructions will be discussed and relevant connections to history of mathematics will be included. Prerequisites: MATH 502 , MATH 503 , MATH 504 , MATH 505 , MAED 626 , MAED 627 , MAED 628 , MAED 629 , MAED 630 and MAED 631 .
