Dive into the world of geometry education in grades K-5, examining NCTM and MN standards, the Van Hiele Model, and activities like the Attributes and Mira Activities to enhance learning. Understand how these standards differ and how students progress through the levels of the Van Hiele Model. Discover how Common Core aligns with NCTM standards and the potential impact on future education practices.

Examination of Standards – MN Geometry standards are combined with measurement standards.
NCTM vs. MN Standards NCTM Standards are broad, encourage multiple solutions, and focus on concepts. MN Standards are more specific, focus on “correct answers” and formulas as grade level increases.
Examination of Standards – Common Core Which states have adopted Common Core? NCTM endorses Common Core Common Core more similar to NCTM than to MN standards MN likely to adopt Common Core in future
Van Hiele Model Most widely accepted model of how students learn geometry Five levels Level 0 – Visualization Level 1 – Analysis Level 2 – Abstraction Level 3 – Deduction Level 4 – Rigor
