Here are some slides and links for my workshops at Greg Tang’s Math Plus conference in Seattle.
Thank you for the conversations I had with some of you after each session. I always love to hear what YOU are taking back to your work environment. It’s a little bit different for everyone, and I love hearing each person’s specific story.
If there is something you were hoping to see that isn’t here, send me email or tweet at me or leave a comment here and I’ll update it as soon as possible!
Geometry, Grades 6-8 and Grades K-2
I put these two sessions together, but with slightly different slide sets, since they contain the definitions you wrote during the session.
Christopher Danielson’s article, “How I Learned to Love Middle School Geometry“, which is the genesis for this session.
Another article that Christopher wrote about his experiences with the hexagon hierarchy.
An article about the Van Hiele levels of geometric thinking.
David Griswold’s plan to do the “hexagon hierarchy” with his students. (He’s an upper school teacher using it with his geometry students.)
Types of Triangles, a Desmos Geometry activity that I wrote that hints at hierarchical relationships between triangles. I’ll try to add the quadrilateral activity – write or tweet me if you want it!
Notice & Wonder, Grades K-5
My 5 minute Ignite talk: Ever Wonder What They’d Notice?
A kindergarten teacher focuses on Sense-Making: Emily and Margaret’s Story
