Geometry and Proportional Reasoning

In this course, participants will informally explore properties of 2 and 3 dimensional shapes and measurement concepts related to those shapes. 

Participants will develop and/or deepen their understanding of:

• mathematical language/vocabulary;

• properties of shapes;

• relationships between shapes;

• scale and scale factor;

• ratio & proportional reasoning;

• relationships between perimeter, area, surface area and volume;

• what constitutes a mathematically convincing argument including inductive and deductive reasoning; 

• the role and importance of clear communication using proper mathematical language and notation.
