Title: Using Geometer's Sketchpad To Make Geometry Come Alive Grades 7-12
Course ID #: 101408

Time: 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Date: Tuesday, October 14, 2008
Location: CMSCE lab
Cost: $195
Presenter(s): Roberta Rim
Audience: Grade 6-12 Teachers, Administrators, Supervisors, Technology Specialists, Special Ed Teachers

Description:
This workshop will provide teachers with activities for using the Geometer's Sketchpad software program. It is a powerful tool to explore geometric concepts and make the study of geometry more meaningful and easier for students to understand. The ability to create and manipulate figures on the computer enables students to quickly visualize and produce many more examples, examine properties of the figures, look for patterns, and make conjectures. This dynamic software program has applications for Algebra I, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, Calculus which will be provided.

Objectives:

Make teaching and learning geometry and algebra exciting, fun, and rewarding through Geometer's Sketchpad activities

Provide activities that utilize this dynamic software program to integrate into the curriculum

Improve student performance on standardized assessments by using activities that develop an appreciation for and understanding of many concepts in geometry.

Benefits:

5 professional development hours

Free eBoard for one year (www.eBoard.com)

Handout with ready-to-use activities

Return to the classroom with exciting new ideas and resources to help motivate your students and meet the needs of all students
