The book is self-contained, defining basic concepts from linear and abstract algebra gradually as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe text adheres to the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics \u003cem\u003ePrinciples and Standards for School Mathematics\u003c\/em\u003e and the Common Core State Standards Initiative \u003cem\u003eStandards for Mathematical Practice\u003c\/em\u003e. Future teachers will acquire the skills needed to effectively apply these standards in their classrooms. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing Felix Klein’s \u003ci\u003eErlangen Program\u003c\/i\u003e, the book provides students in pure mathematics and students in teacher training programs with a concrete visual alternative to Euclid’s purely axiomatic approach to plane geometry. It enables geometrical visualization in three ways: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey concepts are motivated with exploratory activities using software specifically designed for performing geometrical constructions, such as \u003cem\u003eGeometer’s Sketchpad\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach concept is introduced synthetically (without coordinates) and analytically (with coordinates).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercises include numerous geometric constructions that use a reflecting instrument, such as a MIRA.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter reviewing the essential principles of classical Euclidean geometry, the book covers general transformations of the plane with particular attention to translations, rotations, reflections, stretches, and their compositions. The authors apply these transformations to study congruence, similarity, and symmetry of plane figures and to classify the isometries and similarities of the plane.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54224675766616,"sku":"9781482234718","price":107.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781482234718.jpg?v=1768289439","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/transformational-plane-geometry","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
