3 credit(s) This course is designed to examine the Geometry strand of mathematics. The New York State Standards emphasize transformational geometry as a foundation of congruence and similarity. Using transformational geometry both on and off the Cartesian plane, students build on their geometric understanding of Euclidean Geometry. Students will then explore non-Euclidean geometries (mainly discussing Euclid’s parallel postulate and its implications). Students will then investigate the connections of geometry with the branch of calculus. Finally, students will discuss, analyze, and repair geometry questions with mathematical faults.
Note: Must be enrolled in a graduate teacher education program.
