Now it's time to do the same for geometry. Mark Driscoll, author of the powerful and popular \u003cem\u003eFostering Algebraic Thinking, \u003c\/em\u003e takes up the challenge and leads you to new, research-based ways to improve how your students conceptualize and apply geometric ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith \u003cem\u003eFostering Geometric Thinking \u003c\/em\u003eany math teacher can discover essential, practical ideas for helping students cultivate \u003cstrong\u003egeometric habits of mind\u003c\/strong\u003e that lead to success in this crucial mathematical subject. The book focuses on rigorous, problem-based teaching that encourages students to deepen their thinking in three key geometric strands: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003egeometric properties \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003egeometric transformations \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003emeasurement of geometric objects.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cem\u003eFostering Geometric Thinking \u003c\/em\u003eshows you how the interplay of these strands helps students devise multiple solutions and develop a broader sense of geometric principles. It's loaded with helpful resources, including: \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eengaging problems to use in your classroom\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eexamples of student solutions to these problems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003etranscripts of classroom interactions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eonline resources featuring in-the-field footage of students working through open-ended problems highlighted in the book.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e Geometry is a vital component of mathematical understanding, and it's time that it received the same attention that algebra and statistics do. With engaging problems and straightforward suggestions that can help students deepen, recognize, and describe their thinking, \u003cem\u003eFostering Geometric Thinking \u003c\/em\u003eis the resource you need to ensure that when it comes to geometry, your students know all the angles.","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46475295457431,"sku":"9780325093130","price":4739.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780325093130.jpg?v=1766272942","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/fostering-geometric-thinking-a-guide-for-teachers-grades-5-10-9780325093130","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
