Event Details

Geometry with Michael Serra

Proof and Logical Reasoning Puzzles

Join HCTM as we welcome back Michael Serra to present a Geometry workshop.
 

    We'll begin with some of the research of Michael deVilliers and review the van Hiele Levels of geometric reasoning. Participants will experience a number of introductory strategies to teaching proof. We will explore different formats for proof and when they are appropriate. The second portion of the workshop participants will choose an
investigation from a list, perform the investigation and then either prove it or find a counterexample. During the final portion of the workshop we will look at a variety of puzzles that help develop reasoning skills. The mathematics explored includes geometry and algebra.
