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.
