Geometry Examining Features of Shape Casebook
Geometry Examining Features of Shape Casebook by Virginia Bastable is published by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in 2018. This 168-page resource is designed for participants in the Developing Mathematical Ideas seminar, featuring thirty-three cases written by teachers that illustrate real classroom situations and student thinking related to geometric shapes and teaching strategies.
Readers will find that the casebook fosters active engagement through reading and discussion, guided by a facilitator. It helps participants recognize key mathematical ideas students encounter, consider effective classroom settings and teaching strategies, and understand the progression of core mathematical concepts across grades. The book is structured into eight chapters, with the first seven presenting classroom cases from kindergarten through grade 7, while the final chapter offers an overview of relevant research.
Official synopsis Publisher
The Examining Features of Shape Casebook was developed as the key resource for participants’ Developing Mathematical Ideas seminar experience. The thirty-three cases, written by teachers describing real situations and actual student thinking in their classrooms, provide the basis of each session’s investigation into the concepts of geometric shape and teaching strategies.
Reading and discussing the cases under the guidance of the facilitator actively engages participants in their own learning enterprise as they-
- learn to recognize the key mathematical ideas with which students are grappling;
- consider the types of classroom settings and teaching strategies that support the development of student understanding;
- become aware of how core mathematical ideas develop across the grades;
- work on mathematical concepts and gain better understanding of mathematical content; and
- discover how to continue learning about children and mathematics.
The casebook is composed of eight chapters: the first seven consist of classroom cases from kindergarten through grade 7; chapter 8 is an essay providing an overview of the research related to the situations described in the first seven chapters.
