Constructing and Unpacking Diagrams in Geometry
Conner, Kimberly A.
Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, v113 n6 p516-519 Jun 2020
By having students practice constructing diagrams for geometric theorems, teachers can develop students' understanding of mathematical claims, vocabulary, and notation methods. This practice can also strengthen students' ability to interpret mathematical diagrams and recognize their limitations.
