- Summary:
-
This monograph presents geometric activities designed to foster curiosity and inquiry on the part of both students and teachers as they explore geometric ideas for 0 to 3 dimensions. Activities can be used in whole class presentation, small groups, or individual study. Grade levels span K-8. Suggested questions promote communication and sharing, and answers are included. The guide sheets include objectives to focus the activity, needed materials, historical background, directions, calculator usage where appropriate, and extensions of the topics in the activity. Lessons may be duplicated for classroom use. The activities concern: "From O-D to 1-D: What's the Point?" (introduction to point and line); "The Geometry of Distortions" (topological transformations); "Curve Designs" (optical illusions); "Coordinate Distortions" (coordinate geometry); "String Along" (ratio); "Going Around in Circles" (pi); "Golden Ratio" (ratio and proportion); and "The Shadow from the Nile" (indirect measurement).
