Geometry and Spatial Sense

Geometry and Spatial Sense

Mathematics instructional programs should include attention to geometry and spatial sense so that all students

Analyze characteristics and properties of two- and three-dimensional geometric objects

Select and use different representational systems, including coordinate geometry and graph theory

Recognize the usefulness of transformations and symmetry in analyzing mathematical situations

Use visualization and spatial reasoning to solve problems both within and outside of mathematics

Please use the menu on the left to guide you to a wealth of standards based curriculum materials for Mathematics. The lessons are being developed by teams of teachers across the country working with the "Career Connection to Teaching with Technology" Challenge Grant.

Here are some sample activities developed by teachers and students at Mainland High School this past summer.
