...eometry SUGGESTED INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES Students are surrounded by geometric forms in nature, architecture, technology, science, and visual arts. In their study of geometry, students develop skills in deductive reasoning, problem solving, and the visual representation of ideas. Have students use trigonometry to calculate heights or lengths of items around the school (e.g., lamppost, flagpole, totem pole). Include numerous non-traditional learning opportunities such as; + participating in field studies (e.g., a construction site, airport) + interviewing guest speakers (e.g., engineers, surveyors) + inves...
