MATH 108 - Geometry and Measurement

3 Credits
Three hours per week.

This is a concept-building course. Topics discussed include: parallelism, perpendicularity, congruence, basic ruler-and-compass constructions, basic geometric transformations, similarity and proportion, and an introduction to geometric proof. Other topics include: linear, area, volume and angular measurement; approximation, precision and accuracy; and the derivation of certain formulas for area and volume; and methods for transmitting these concepts to children.

Prerequisite(s) MATH 107 with a grade of “C” or better. This course is restricted to elementary education majors unless departmental permission is given.
Offered (FALL/SPRING).
