84- Rethinking Geometry: Why Transformations?

Thursday, November 7, 2013: 12:30 PM-2:00 PM
Room L2/L3 (Kentucky International Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
Gail Burrill


The high school Common Core State Standards call for students to understand congruence and similarity in terms of transformations. Why is this important? How does this change the content we teach in geometry, including how we think about proofs? We will work several examples chosen to help us think about answers to these questions.
