GEOMETRIC HABITS OF THE MIND
Reasoning with Relationships:
This is actively looking for relationships within and between geometric figures in 1, 2, and 3-dimensions, and thinking about how the relationships can help your understanding or problem solving. Generalizing Geometric Ideas: This is wanting to understand and describe the “always” and the “every” related to geometric phenomena. Investigating Invariant: An invariant is something about a situation that stays the same. This can show up in analyzing which attributes which attributes remain the same and which change when the figure is transformed in some way. Balancing Exploration and Reflection: This is trying various ways to approach a problem and regularly taking a step back to take stake. |
