MATH181 — Geometry for K-8 Teachers
MATH 181 - Geometry for K-8 Teachers MATH 181 - Geometry for K-8 Teachers 5 Credits This course guides students in examining the ideas and reasoning involved in measurement and Euclidean geometry. Students will also study properties of 2- and 3-dimensional shapes; similarity and congruence; geometric constructions; coordinate geometry; transformations; functions; and will practice communicating mathematical ideas. Topics in probability and statistics will be included if time permits. Recommended for prospective or practicing K-8 teachers. 0 Placement Eligibility Math 107, 111, 146, 180, 098 Fees Quarters Typically pring Day Designed to Serve Elementary education majors, along with interested parents and paraeducators.
