Students’ ways of thinking about transformational geometry
Page: 1673
As part of a proof-of-concept project, we created multi-media activities and instructor supportmaterials for secondary mathematics teacher preparation. One focal topic was transformationalgeometry. Data collection included undergraduate and secondary school students responding totasks in surveys and in interviews. Despite its prominence in the Common Core State Standardsfor Mathematics, little is known about how students think about ideas in transformationalgeometry or about how they engage with items used on assessments for this topic. The posterreports findings on student thinking and invites discussion to inform future work.Keywords:
