Spring 2025 Distance Learning Upper Division
This course is designed to provide opportunities for mathematics educators to develop understanding of teaching and learning in the related domains of geometry and measurement. Central to this work is the construction of models of learners' understandings of geometry and measurement and the use of models to design instruction. Geometry, as a discipline in school mathematics, has historically and more currently been debated. In this course we will explore research in the teaching and learning of geometry and measurement. A synthesis of select literature will inform our efforts to develop models of learners' geometric reasoning and understanding of measurement. We will move past the development of models to the design of instruction meant to support understandings of concepts that utilizes technology.
Learning Outcomes1Develop models of learner's understanding of measurement and concepts in geometry.
2Use models of learner's understanding to design and select appropriate and productive learning opportunities.
3Develop knowledge of the history of geometry as a school mathematics subject in the United States.
4Develop and articulate a perspective on teaching and learning geometry and measurement with technology.
5Synthesize existing research to support inquiry in the teaching and learning of geometry and measurement.
