We are excited to have Claudine Margolis share findings from interviews we conducted within the GET project. The talk is entitled: Understanding Instructional Capacity for High School Geometry as a Systemic Problem Through Stakeholder Interviews. Hope you can catch it!

The Teaching GeT working group continues to work on narratives to accompany the SLOs that we developed and at the same time is incorporating some changes into the SLOs.    The SLOs deal with 10 broad categories: In addition to the SLOs, we included a statement that in addition to teaching these content standards, all […]

In the spring of 2021, the transformation working group created a lesson in the context of transformation geometry, taught and observed the lesson in a group members’ online course, and reflected on the implementation of the lesson. This effort resulted in a publication in the AMS Blogs (Boyce et. al., 2021). The lesson created by […]

The transformation group has two ongoing complementary goals of 1) collecting and creating activities that help support foundational concepts in a transformation geometry context and 2) formulating an axiomatic system such that (a) its statements are accessible to both college geometry students and high school students and (b) the axioms lead to an efficient system […]

Claudine Margolis, Pat Herbst, and Mollee Shultz will be presenting Conflicting Expectations for the Geometry for Teachers Course during MI-AMTE 2020. Their Session runs from 2:30 – 3:15 and will be held virtually. You can see more information regarding the session and the full conference schedule in general here.

Members of GeT: A Pencil have recently published in a diverse set of journals. Priya Prasad’s team wrote for The Mathematics Enthusiast, Orly Buchbinder coauthored a paper that appeared in JRME, and Tuyin An and her colleague presented at the Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching and Learning Conference. In the more mathematical realm, Michael Ruddy is awaiting […]

Teaching GeT (led by Nat Miller) Unlike more standardized classes such as calculus, future instructors of the collegiate geometry course for preservice teachers are assigned to the course with vastly different geometry experiences, and many of them have never taken a post-secondary geometry course at all. The Teaching GeT (Geometry for Teachers) working group was […]

Welcome to our second issue of GeT: The News! This newsletter, published three times a year, helps us connect to and communicate with members of GeT: A Pencil, an inter-institutional support network for instructors of Geometry for Teachers (GeT) courses and high school geometry teachers. The network was developed with the goal to provide support […]

We welcome contributions from members of the GeT: A Pencil community! Activities you tried in class, things you observed your students do, reflections on your experience teaching, thoughts on what the GeT course should include. . . any of these and others would be fair game to write about. Consider the length of the articles […]
