Geometry: 2D and 3D Figures
In Geometry: 2D and 3D Figures, students explore the terminology and properties
of three-dimensional solids. They visualize solid figures, learn
the names of their parts, and build and draw figures in two and
three dimensions.
Participants in this course:
- Examine the
development of student geometric thought, using the four levels
of abstraction defined in the van Hiele framework (visual, descriptive/analytic,
abstract/relational, formal deduction and proof).
- Consider
ways to support student-initiated inquiry in a classroom.
- Examine questioning
strategies that support concept clarification, reflection, and
discussion.
- Explore
how activities such as making models or writing geometric puzzles
can reinforce students' understanding of geometric figures, and
provide a way to assess students' geometric thinking.
- Reflect
on their own understanding of geometry.
