[Course Title] Geometric Measurement in 1, 2, and 3 Dimensions In this seven-week course, participants will become familiar with relevant research in teaching geometric measurement and will learn how to analyze student work to inform their instruction. By completing classroom tasks, participants will learn how to assist students in developing stronger conceptual understanding and procedural knowledge, especially in linear measurement, area, surface area, and volume. They will also explore relationships between perimeter and area, and among area, surface area, and volume. Teachers will also be introduced to online tools, such as virtual manipulatives, applets, and simulations, and will learn how to integrate these tools into their geometry and algebra lessons. Participants will also conduct a one-on-one mathematical task with a student and then report their findings back to the group. Recording the interview, analyzing the documentation, and discussing the interview will help participants understand where students succeed and struggle, and how they can improve. These interviews will form the basis for the final project: a technology-based, Common Core-aligned, lesson plan for use in their classroom. This workshop provides professional development aligned to the Common Core Mathematics Standards through readings, activities and classroom applications of teaching strategies. The Common Core State Standards for Math establish what students should know but not how teachers should teach. This course is designed to help teachers learn instructional strategies that guide students to reach these new challenging content standards. Specific Common Core State Standards for Math addressed by this course are listed in the Standards section on this page. [Subject Area] Math [Grade Level]
