Re: Summer 2007
Geometry Institute
The Vermont
Mathematics Partnership and The Vermont
Institutes are pleased to announce the Summer 2007 Geometry Institute taking
place August 6 – August 10 from 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM at Champlain College.
Instructors: George
Ashline, Marny Frantz, Krisan Stone and Sheila Weaver.
Two concurrent strands
will be offered as follows:
Strand 1: Geometry in the Middle Grades (5-9): Topics include
similarity, transformations, spatial reasoning, and making & testing
conjectures.
Strand 2: Geometric
Reasoning in Grades 9-12: Topics include trigonometry, spatial reasoning,
limits, matrix transformations, and making & testing conjectures.
Both strands will feature
dynamic geometry software applications at the middle and high school levels and
ways to differentiate geometry instruction.
Delve into mathematics
content as an adult learner while you:
- Explore applications of this content for middle or
high school classrooms
- Read current research on how students build
mathematical understanding
- Develop strategies for assessing student
understanding & addressing common student misconceptions
- Experience strategies for differentiating instruction
- Discuss this work with mathematicians and
colleagues
These courses meet Vermont’s
Highly-Qualified Teacher requirements. Register online at www.vermontmathematics.org or
