Helping students at varying levels of mathematical understanding pass the Geometry EOC Test is a
daunting task. By eliminating tracking so that all of my students take Honors Geometry, I had the opportunity to break up cohorts of academically struggling students. But detracking brought on new challenges.
I will share the lessons I learned using differentiation and standards-based assessment to help my students
become metacognitive learners, resulting in some of the highest Geometry EOC Test pass rates in the
state.

Fluency is more than memorization of isolated facts. Students need to see connections between facts.
They need visual models to help form a ‘mind picture’ that connects to a thinking strategy. This session will
utilize powerful visual aids and games that help students to master the basic addition and subtraction facts
– with understanding!
Saturday 9:15-10:15
#215 The Triangle Pieces Puzzle and Geometric Thinking Development (Elementary 3-5, Middle 6-8)
Dr. Enrique Ortiz - Associate Professor, University of Central Florida, [email protected]

Tangrams. The Van Hiele’s geometry levels will be used as a framework to illustrate possible ways to help
students gain depth of understanding of geometry ideas. The five levels of thought characterize students’
geometry thinking as they become more sophisticated in their understanding of geometry relationships.
The activities have been pilot tested. Copies of the Triangle Pieces Puzzle will be provided.
