Developing Geometric Thinking and Concepts
Course Description
Course Description
Examine aspects of two- and three-dimensional shapes, develop geometric vocabulary, and explore both definitions and properties of geometric objects. Study angle, similarity, congruence, and the relationships between 3-D objects and their 2-D representations. Student thinking is at the center of this course through examination of student work.
