70- Folding in the Mathematical Practices with Construct-and-Describe (CD) Problems

Thursday, April 10, 2014: 9:30 AM-10:30 AM
Grand Salon 13-16 (Hilton)
Lead Speaker:
Juliana Utley
Co-Speaker:
Stacy Reeder


Explore how paper-folding constructions with a description of the process (CD problems) can engage students in making sense of geometric concepts, building their geometric vocabulary, and learning to precisely communicate their thinking. Participants will learn several CD problems and discuss connections to the Common Core's Mathematical Practices.

Presentation Format: 6-8 Session
Grade Band Audience: 6 to 8, 9 to 12
