Covers topics from plane and solid Euclidean geometry including the properties of parallels, perpendiculars, triangles, and circles; perimeter; formulas for area of plane regions, surface area, and volume of solids. The course provides the geometric foundation for beginning elementary school teachers incorporating the following: spatial reasoning to investigate concepts such as directions, orientation, perspective, shape, and structure; the use of mathematical reasoning to develop, generalize, justify, and prove geometric relationships; and connections among the geometric ideas and number concepts, measurement, probability and statistics, and algebra.
