MATHEMATICS FOR SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS II: GEOMETRY

High school mathematics content is studied through a lens that enables students to deepen their understanding of mathematics by making connections between mathematical ideas, seeing the content in new contexts, applying mathematics in a range of settings, and understanding the historical development of ideas. Topics in advanced geometry will be studied from three historical perspectives: synthetic, analytic, and transformational. Topics include advanced results in Euclidean Geometry, axiomatic of Euclidean Geometry, axioms and results in Non-Euclidian Geometry, the use coordinates and insights gained from transformation. Dynamic Geometry software is used throughout the course.
