Geometry & Measurement

Catalog description

Geometry and Measurement: [TCCN MATH 1351] This course focuses on geometry and measurement for prospective elementary and middle school teachers. Topics include measurement as a process of units of measurement for quantities such as length, area, volume, angle size, and speed; conversions of units of measurement; properties and formulas for basic geometrical shapes such as polygons, circles, polyhedra, and cones; transformations such as translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations to geometric relationships and constructions using straight edge, compass, and technology. The focus is on spatial reasoning, logical reasoning, and making connections among geometric ideas and measurement, number concepts, and algebra.
