Survey of Geometry

Catalog description

This course provides candidates with an opportunity to deepen their content area knowledge in geometry. Topics from Euclidean geometry include symmetry, area and volume, polygons, polyhedral, and rigid motions. Euclidean geometry and non-Euclidean geometrics are compared and contrasted. The course emphasizes mathematical reasoning rather than mathematical results. Instruction in communicating mathematics is important component. Candidates will demonstrate understanding of concepts and operations in geometry or an advanced level. Candidates will be able to utilize concepts and operations in geometry for the creation of lesson and unit plans appropriate for grades 7-12 students.
