Spatial and Geometry Workshop for Teachers  

​

Few people notice the humble Geoboard. It sits dusty in every Mathematics Resource cupboard.
On its own, it looks boring and unimpressive. It is underestimated and underappreciated. The missing touch that can turn the Geoboard into the rich learning resource that it is meant to be is an informed perspective on what the Geoboard can do through a workshop for teachers.

 

The use of another manipulative which will be covered in the workshop is that of the Pattern Blocks.
These six shapes are mathematically structured such that they serve as a nifty tool to develop spatial reasoning skills that are fundamental to the learning of mathematics.

​​​

This workshop will have teachers working on thoughtful Pattern Block activities that will bring students through a variety of enjoyable mathematical experiences, from exploration and discovery to divergent thinking and investigation.
