Effective Geometry Instruction in Third, Fourth, and Fifth Grade

Grades 3-5: This hands-on workshop will focus on instruction in the intermediate grades that will develop geometric thinking in all students. We will closely examine the Van Hiele Levels of Geometric Thought Model, which is the most influential factor in the American geometry curriculum. This model is a five-level hierarchy of ways of understanding spatial ideas. In order for students to understand geometric ideas, each student must progress through the levels. The levels are sequential, but not age dependent. Geometric experience is the greatest single factor influencing advancement through the levels. In this workshop teachers will experience activities that will permit students to explore, talk about, and interact with content at the next level, while increasing their experience at their current level. All activities will focus on developing deeper understanding of Third, Fourth, and Fifth Grade Common Core State Standards.
