This continuation course will further enhance your insight and comfort with teaching geometric aspects of mathematics. Discuss the geometric applications of division and fractions, find Pythagorean Triples through experimentation, and explore representational systems for shape, position and movement. Investigate mathematical situations through pattern, symmetry and transformations, and study the characteristics of and relationships between two and three dimensional shapes. Units are aligned with state and national standards for grades 3-7 mathematics curricula. Participants must have completed "Algebraic Processes and Their Connections to Geometric Structures" or an equivalent course and obtain permission through ITCEP.

Tuition and fees for 2 graduate semester credits in mathematics as well as daily lunches, a parking stipend, and all books and materials are grant-funded.
