MHE 510 Geometry for Teachers

The purpose of this course is to study the properties and relationships of basic geometric concepts such as points, lines, angles, curves, surfaces, and solids. Candidates will be engaged in the construction, description, and analyses of geometric objects. Emphasis will be on informal reasoning, experimental methods, inductive and deductive arguments, and the development of mathematical thinking. Appropriate technology will be used to explore hypotheses and support mathematical reasoning. Candidates will create appropriate mathematical content for a lesson/unit, consistent with the Common Core State Standards, incorporating a variety of strategies for a diverse population of students from the middle through secondary school grade levels. Pre-requisite(s): MHE 450 or equivalent or consent of program coordinator. Co-requisite(s): None. 3 semester hours
