Teaching to the Big Ideas of Geometry, Measurement, and Data Analysis

This project is designing, producing, and pilot- and field- testing three modules to add to a K-6 professional-development curriculum called Developing Mathematical Ideas. The new modules cover the topics of geometry, measurement, and data analysis and help teachers both learn the mathematics content for themselves and explore how children approach it.
