Abstract
Participants will review, explore and develop geometric concepts and vocabulary, through guided discovery, by building polyhedra with giant, brightly-colored, connectable equilateral triangles. Activities will be geared for teachers of all levels. Learning issues and instructional strategies will be related to teacher-student 'hidden contracts' and the Van Hiele Model of Geometric Thought.
