6- Angle and Slope Connections: Challenging Teacher Assumptions in Trigonometry

Tuesday, April 12, 2016: 8:30 AM-9:00 AM
3018 (San Francisco Convention Center)

 

Lead Speaker:
David Glassmeyer
Co-speakers:
Aaron Brakoniecki, Ph. D. and Julie Amador


Description of Presentation:

Using a series of tasks and video, we challenged beginning teachers to consider trigonometric relationships between angles and slope. This presentation focused on a common misconception these tasks revealed in trigonometric reasoning and on how the task prompted teachers to reconsider their assumptions.
