In this course, participants will: * receive the book Teaching Student-Centered Mathematics for grades K-2 and hands-on materials such as tangrams, 2D and 3D shapes. * deepen their understanding of the Van Hiele Model of geometric reasoning and the Geometry Standards within the Kentucky Academic Standards for Mathematics.
