83- Rethinking Geometry: Why Transformations?

Thursday, October 24, 2013: 12:30 PM-2:00 PM

Lead Speaker:
Gail Burrill


The high school Common Core State Standards for Mathematics call for students to understand congruence and similarity in terms of transformations. Why is this important to do? 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.
