The North Bay Math project is pleased to partner with the Mendocino County Office of Education in presenting

The Transformational Geometry Institute.

Introduction:
The California Mathematics project (CMP) in collaboration with California Mathematics Council (CMC), CCSESA’s Mathematics Subcommittee of the Curriculum and Instruction Steering Committee (CISC), and California Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (CAMTE) have designed high quality professional development modules that will strengthen teachers’ content knowledge to teach the California Common Core State Standards in Mathematics (CaCCSS-M).

Transformational Geometry Module:
Dates: June 25-27
Grades 6-12
Location: Mendocino County Office of Education, South East Room, River Building
Cost: $300 per participant includes materials, continental breakfast, and lunch.
Presenter: Jacob Smith, Ukiah High School
Presenter: Nick Dowdall, Sonoma State University Instructor
Times: 8:30am – 3:30pm

Description: The CaCCSS expects mathematically proficient geometry students to experiment, explain, prove, visualize, understand, derive, and translate between representations. Students are expected to demonstrate geometric habits of mind, and be proficient in the Standards of Mathematical Practice. This expanded view of student proficiencies will require that teachers have greater flexibility and deeper content knowledge. Teachers will need to employ a greater variety of teaching strategies, and weave deep mathematical content and mathematical habits of mind into a well orchestrated whole. This is no simple feat! These resources are intended to provide teachers support in making the needed enhancements and changes in instruction in order to implement the CA Common Core State Standards effectively.
