Empowering Educators: Prioritizing Modeling With Geometry in High School Professional Development

This domain emphasizes the significance of modeling with geometry in high school education by focusing on real-world applications, motivating students and teachers, and developing essential skills sought by employers. The professional development should prioritize standards like applying geometric concepts in modeling situations, including Fermi problems and strategic decision-making for geometric design problems. Modeling in high school is a valuable skill that enhances problem-solving abilities and encourages critical thinking.

  1. Grade Band: HS Geometry Domain: Modeling With Geometry

  2. Why this domain is a priority for professional development • Real world applications • Modeling in high school is going to be a big stretch for high school teachers • Modeling is motivational for students, not just in geometry but throughout high school • Many employers will be looking for this type of skill

  3. Key standards in this domain that pd should focus on • The cluster “Apply geometric concepts in modeling situations” provides good examples for introducing teachers to modeling in general. • Fermi problems (do all the birthday cakes eaten in a year fit into the University of Phoenix Stadium) introduce teachers to important aspects of modeling such as making reasonable assumptions and estimating. • Solving geometric design problems involves making strategic choices about the simplicity versus complexity of the model (easier here than with algebra and functions).
