C20 - (Year 7 to Year 12) Victorian Curriculum V2.0 Mathematics - an opportunity to expand mathematics culture and understanding
(Year 7 To Year 12)
Session Description
Constructible geometry along with reasoning and proof are prominent inclusions in the Space strand of the Victorian Curriculum 2.0. This mathematics has a long and illustrious history in the Islamic world, and this provides wonderful opportunities for mathematical investigations, geometry workshops and the development of constructible geometry, sacred geometry and a transition to non-constructible geometries. This session will give a brief survey of the history and ideas, classroom activities, student research opportunities and references for further research.
Key takeaways:
1. There is a rich history of geometry and its development in history and many different cultures have contributed to this.
2. Experimenting with geometric structures provides a wonderful method for understanding geometric and associated mathematical ideas.
Remember: Bring pencils, paper and an open mind - there will be computer based demonstrations and descriptions of how to obtain, install and experiment with these tools.
