Education 202 - Examining Features of Shape

'We will work with 2D and 3D shapes, develop mathematical vocabulary regarding features of shapes, and explore definitions and properties of geometric objects. The seminar includes a study of angle, similarity, congruence, and the relationship between 3D objects and their 2D representations. The measurement component will provide opportunities to examine different attributes of size, develop facility in composing and decomposing shapes, and apply these skills to make sense of formulas for area and volume. As we explore the conceptual issues of length, area, and volume and their complex interrelationships, we will also examine how children develop these ideas.'
