Developing Geometrical Reasoning

چکیده
This paper summarises a report (Brown, Jones & Taylor, 2003) to the UK Qualifications and Curriculum Authority of the work of one geometry group. The group was charged with developing and reporting on teaching ideas that focus on the development of geometrical reasoning at the secondary school level. The group was encouraged to explore what is possible both within and beyond the current requirements of the UK National Curriculum and the Key Stage 3 strategy, and to consider the whole ability range.

Theoretical Frameworks for the Learning of Geometrical Reasoning
With the growth in interest in geometrical ideas it is important to be clear about the nature of geometrical reasoning and how it develops. This paper provides an overview of three theoretical frameworks for the learning of geometrical reasoning: the van Hiele model of thinking in geometry, Fischbein’s theory of figural concepts, and Duval’s cognitive model of geometrical reasoning. Each of the...
متن کاملDeveloping a model to enhance elementary teachers’ ability to foster functional thinking and algebraic reasoning in elementary students
Abstract: This study explores the process of change of grades 3 to 5 elementary teachers, who participated in a professional development program "Algebraic Thinking: Foundation of Elementary Mathematics". Algebraic thinking as a functional thinking was the centerpiece of the program. The “Concern Base Adaptation Model” (CBAM) was used as methodology. The results of the study showed the signific...
متن کاملTopological and Geometrical Reasoning in 3d Grouping for Reconstructing Polyhedral Surfaces
We are developing a system for reconstructing polyhedral surfaces from multiple images. This process can take advantage of the topological relations of the observed image features triggering and therefore speeding up the grouping of features to polyhedral surfaces. Exploiting the statistical properties of features when grouping them leads to consistent decisions being invariant to numbering and...
متن کاملBuilding a World Model for a Mobile Robot Using Dynamic Semantic Constraints
We are developing a new paradigm for a world model construction system which interprets a scene and builds a world model for a mobile robot using dynamic semantic constraints. The system represents a world model in hierarchical form from sensor-based maps to a global map with both numerical and symbolic descriptions. At the beginning of interpretation, sensory data (video and range images) are ...
متن کاملVisualisation, Imagery and the Development of Geometrical Reasoning
This report focuses on some aspects of the nature and role of visualisation and imagery in the teaching and learning of mathematics, particularly as a component in the development of geometrical reasoning. Issues briefly addressed include the relationship between imagery and perception, imagery and memory, the nature of dynamic images, and the interaction between imagery and concept development...
