MATH 6133 - Geometric Thinking


This course builds on the preliminary understanding of the intricacies of shape and measurement. The student will examine aspects of two-and three-dimensional shapes, extend geometric vocabulary, and explore both definitions and properties of geometric objects. Students will also complete a comprehensive study of angle, similarity, congruence, and the relationships between 3-D objects and their 2-D representation. The student will examine different aspects of size, develop facility in composing and decomposing shapes, and apply these skills to make sense of formulas for area and volume. There will be activities from a variety of sources and grade levels and connections will be made linking middle school geometry to more advanced topics taught at the secondary level. Dynamic computer software, graphing calculators, Smart Boards, and the TI Navigator will be used to enhance the teaching and learning of geometry. As needed
