MATH 2243 - Geometry and Measure 3 Credits
Introduces the prospective elementary teacher to geometric reasoning, properties, and measure. This course will also connect other topics such as probability, measurement, and algebra using geometric models and coordinate geometry.
Prerequisite: Successful completion of LAD 9024 Foundations of College Math with a grade of “C” or better, or eligible for enrollment in LAD 9072 College Algebra Review 2 or higher.
Course Level Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
1. Identify, organize, compare and apply rules/axioms for using congruence, constructions, and similarity to solve problems involving geometry. (GEO 2, 3)
2. Use technology to collaborate, solve problems, represent data, and present solutions. (GEO 1, 3, 4)
3. Demonstrate professional characteristics through verbal and written communication, team collaboration, organization, neatness, and overall self-presentation. (GEO 1, 3, 4)
4. Develop and model the processes and formulas for measuring length, area, volume, and
mass with attention to units. (GEO 2, 3)
5. Model and explain the relationships of congruence, constructions, and similarity and
apply the relationships to form transformations, symmetries, and tilings. (GEO 1, 2, 3)
6. Explain the relationships of length, area, and volume and describe how patterns can be used
to identify relationships of measure and units. (GEO 1, 2, 3)
7. Build and interpret tables, graphs, charts, and diagrams to explain the connections between
geometry and algebra. (GEO 2, 3)
8. Identify and apply the components of the coordinate plane and the connections from the coordinate system to geometry and algebra (e.g. Solves problems by plotting points and drawing polygons in the coordinate plane) (GEO 2, 3)
9. Identify and organize data to measure centers and variations and present data in the context of distribution, and probability (GEO 2, 3)
