Phase+2

=__//** Phase 2: Determine Relative Advantage **//__= = = Why should a technology-based method be used? The use of technology should be utilized to provide students with triangles, various angles and three-dimensional models of various geometric shapes. Students will utilize technology to manipulate and transform using various programs. They will be able to manipulate, rotate, translate and reflect the shapes and figures. It allows for the fast manipulation to explore more complex concepts that deal with the geometric shapes and solids. Students will be able to utilize digital cameras and videos to create higher-order videos that will prove their understanding of the concepts. What problem would you like to address? The exploration of geometric shapes and solids using hands on materials is limited. Students are not able to quickly and easily recreate figures and solids of varying using tranformations. Through the use of technology, students will easily and quickly be able to manipulate and explore changes. This will greatly impact student learning, as they will be able to see how the figures and solids changes, manipulate to explore various changes and draw conclusions based on these changes. In addition, students will be able to explore various resources that can assist them in further understanding about geometric shapes and solids.
