Download or read book The Classification of Quadrilaterals written by Zalman Usiskin and published by IAP. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph reports on an analysis of a small part of the mathematics curriculum, the definitions given to quadrilaterals. This kind of research, which we call micro-curricular analysis, is often undertaken by those who create curriculum, but it is not usually done systematically and it is rarely published. Many terms in mathematics education can be found to have different definitions in mathematics books. Among these are “natural number,” “parallel lines” and “congruent triangles,” “trapezoid” and “isosceles trapezoid,” the formal definitions of the trigonometric functions and absolute value, and implicit definitions of the arithmetic operations addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Yet many teachers and students do not realize there is a choice of definitions for mathematical terms. And even those who realize there is a choice may not know who decides which definition of any mathematical term is better, and under what criteria. Finally, rarely are the mathematical implications of various choices discussed. As a result, many students misuse and otherwise do not understand the role of definition in mathematics. We have chosen in this monograph to examine a bit of mathematics for its definitions: the quadrilaterals. We do so because there is some disagreement in the definitions and, consequently, in the ways in which quadrilaterals are classified and relate to each other. The issues underlying these differences have engaged students, teachers, mathematics educators, and mathematicians. There have been several articles and a number of essays on the definitions and classification of quadrilaterals. But primarily we chose this specific area of definition in mathematics because it demonstrates how broad mathematical issues revolving around definitions become reflected in curricular materials. While we were undertaking this research, we found that the area of quadrilaterals supplied grist for broader and richer discussions than we had first anticipated. The intended audience includes curriculum developers, researchers, teachers, teacher trainers, and anyone interested in language and its use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grab your jumbo popcorn—you're invited to the premiere of a 3-D movie, all about those three dimensions! Trusted math picture book duo David A. Adler and Ed Miller tackle the differences between two- and three-dimensional objects in their signature bright and kid-friendly way. Explaining length, width, and height-- and all the different ways we represent those figures-- Adler shows how changing the dimensions of an object affects its size. . . . with some help from a cast of funny, friendly movie monsters. Explaining key vocabulary in simple text and offering numerous concrete examples and sample math problems with included solutions, Perimeter, Area, and Volume is a perfect introduction to two- and three-dimensional geometry. The star-studded cast of monsters will help you calculate the perimeter of the set, the area of the movie screen, and the volume of your box of popcorn. Learning about dimensions has never been so entertaining!

Download or read book It s Hip to Be Square written by Lorraine Krusinski and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2010-10-14 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I'm a high school math teacher, and I made this book to use in my classroom. The book is about the relationships among quadrilaterals. My students love the book and really get into it when I read it to them. It is a great review of the topic and also provides a change of pace. The students love having a book read to them, and they laugh at the corny math jokes. The story offers another way to present the material and that makes the vocabulary more memorable. I put the book at an eighth grade reading level, but it could be read to any math class, younger or older, that is learning about classifying quadrilaterals (trapezoid, parallelogram, rectangle, rhombus, square etc.)and quadrilateral properties. It is a fun book and great resource for a math teacher.

Download or read book Discourse Perspective of Geometric Thoughts written by Sasha Wang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sasha Wang revisits the van Hiele model of geometric thinking with Sfard’s discursive framework to investigate geometric thinking from a discourse perspective. The author focuses on describing and analyzing pre-service teachers’ geometric discourse across different van Hiele levels. The explanatory power of Sfard’s framework provides a rich description of how pre-service teachers think in the context of quadrilaterals. It also contributes to our understanding of human thinking that is illustrated through the analysis of geometric discourse accompanied by vignettes.
