Refresh geometry instruction with mini-lessons that enliven the classroom. Expand your instructional repertoire to include short tasks that can be used throughout the school year to build students’ geometric thinking. These tasks focus on supporting students’ understanding of geometric shapes and their properties. In this workshop, you will:

• Investigate students’ geometric thinking and the essential concepts of geometry

• Develop instructional strategies that go beyond memorized terms to foster rich classroom discussion

• Create geometry tasks for use in the elementary and middle level classroom
