Revolution is Needed in High School Geometry – 7/7/20

Revolution is Needed in High School Geometry

Presenter: Jenny Tsankova

Date: July 7, 2020

Dr. Jenny Tsankova will present an argument in favor of changing the way we communicate to students the following essential ideas: 1) the idea of proof, 2) the language of Geometry, and 3) the traditional topics we teach, such as constructing the perpendicular bisector. The goal is for the mathematical ideas to be accessible to all students, connected to other mathematical ideas, and embedded in relevant context without sacrificing the cognitive demand.

Recommended Grade Level: 9 – 12

Hosted by: Leigh Nataro
