'Geometry is often given less time in the teaching timetable than
other aspects of mathematics. This book encourages practitioners to
think about and raise its profile, indeed achieving what its title
suggest' - Primary Practice `This creative, innovative and
fascinating book/CD package is one you "MUST BUY". All prospective,
new and experienced teachers of mathematics can use it to transform
their teaching. All readers can use it to reignite their
fascination with mathematics' - Professor Sylvia Johnson, Sheffield
Hallam University 'This book exudes activity and interactivity.
Moreover, it provides challenge in the context of a significant
pedagogy, one that is not just present but actually made explicit.
It is undoubtedly a book to learn geometry with, but also one to
learn to think more deeply about geometry, about its nature and
essence, and also about its teaching and learning' - David Pimm
Developing Thinking in Geometry enables teachers and their support
staff to experience and teach geometric thinking. As well as
discussing key teaching principles, the book and accompanying
interactive CD include many activities that encourage readers to
extend their own learning, and consequently their teaching
practices. The book is constructed around the following key themes:
- invariance; - language and points of view; - reasoning using
invariance; - visualising and representing. These themes draw on
teaching principles developed by the team at the Open University's
Centre for Mathematics Education which has a 20-year track record
of innovative approaches to teaching and learning geometry. This is
a 'must have' text for all primary mathematics specialists,
secondary and Further Education mathematics teachers and their
support staff. Anyone who wishes to create an understanding and
enthusiasm for geometry based upon firm research and effective
practice, will enjoy this book. This is the course reader for the
Open University Course ME627 Developing Geometric Thinking
