Geometry and Measurement, Connecting Mathematical Investigation to Reasoning (9-12)

Start Date:	03/03/2010
End Date:	03/03/2010
Start Time:
Brief Description: Intent: To provide content knowledge and methods for effectively teaching geometry and measurement This session will focus on the critical ideas of geometry and measurement contained within the 2008 Mathematics Standard. Participants will explore a broad range of geometric ideas and will consider common students misconceptions for grades 9-12. Attendees will have the opportunity to build knowledge and understanding to the concept, translate knowledge into effective practice, and reflect upon their teaching practice. Each participant will leave with the necessary information for classroom implementation or to replicate this professional development opportunity in their school and/or districts. OUTCOMES: Participants will: -Explore the critical components of Geometry and Measurement -Recognize the importance of evidence and justification (mathematical argumentation) to build the critical ideas of investigation, conjecture, and proof (NCTM, 2005) -Understand the importance of focusing on student thinking -Reflect on implications for practice -Plan for successful classroom implementation
