The Importance of Learning Geometry
The mathematics curriculum traditionally has been designed to provide students with the opportunity to develop skills and acquire knowledge that would be important in adulthood and to prepare sutdents to enter careers that would not require a high level of mathematical ability.
Today the context of mathematics instruction needs to be much broader. The accelerated pace at which modern society produces technological change requires that high school graduates be prepared for careers in qhich mathematics will be very important. In order to be successful in many careers students will need to be confident in their mathematical abilities. They will need to be able to solve problems, to communicate mathematical ideas and to think logically.
Geometry Concepts turns your iPad into a power tool for teaching basic geometry. Use Geometry Concepts to create a presentation while illustrating and discussion the key principles of geometry. Geometry Concepts is perfect for upper elementary and middle school classrooms. Enrich your mathematics curriculum with the power of Geometry Concepts!
The ability to understand and interpret data is a critical skill. Everyday we encounter situations where it is necessary to use geometry. In elementary grades students are asked to identify the properties of geometric figures. Geometry has its own special vocabulary and Geometry Concepts is designed to help students acquire the 'language' of math. As students progress through school the continued development of the language and symbolism of geometry is essential so that they are able to communicate mathematical ideas. It is not hard to see why vocabulary development related to mathematics has become a major goal of the K-12 curriculum.
Geometry Concepts can help students develop the skills necessary for reflecting and clarifying the their thinking about mathematics, geometry relationships and properties. These skills must be learned early and reinforced often. Several important areas of the mathematics curriculum can be addressed using this app:
- Properties of 2D and 3D figures.
- Terminology as Applied to special Figures Including Circles and Right Triangles.
- Methods for Finding Area and Perimeter
- Classifying Angles
- Mathematical Reasoning
