Description :

This course will focus on the concepts of geometry involved in the elementary school curriculum. The emphasis will be on activities to involve students in explorations leading to a deeper understanding of the concepts involved. It has been said “A picture is worth a thousand words.” But this is true only if one can “read” a picture. We will involve the participants in a variety of activities that greatly improve spatial visualization. Connections to the classroom will be discussed. The course objective will be to teach participants how to help students to understand the geometry they are studying in their classrooms.
