MHE510 Topics in Mathematics for Teachers: Geometry

This investigative study of geometry involves an active examination of geometric concepts and thinking from several perspectives including: patterns and relationships, shapes in space and the plane, transformations, measurement, and geometric representations of concepts in various branches of mathematics. The course helps students develop problem solving, spatial thinking, as well as inductive and deductive reasoning as they explore, make conjectures, test their ideas, and formalize conclusions, using appropriate technologies. This course can be applied to middle school math endorsement Prerequisite: MHE450 or equivalent, or holder of 03 or 09 certificate. 3 semester hours
