479- Let’s Get Real: Using Number and Operations to Discover Geometry

Friday, April 11, 2014: 1:00 PM-2:15 PM
215/216 (Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
Martha Y. Parrott


During this interactive workshop, we will embrace the relationship between deeper learning and the Common Core State Standards as we construct and analyze the five Platonic solids. Using regular polyhedra and number and operations as a guide, we will make discoveries that link Plato to Euler’s geometry. Connections will also be made to literacy and science.

Presentation Format: 6-8 Gallery Workshop
