ByExample...for High School Geometry!

IES has funded a new project that will support iterative development and testing of worked example assignments for high school geometry. 

Since the release of AlgebraByExample several years ago, SERP has received numerous requests to apply the ByExample approach to high school geometry. However, translating the worked example approach to mathematics content that is focused less on computation or equation-solving and more on proofs, logical reasoning, and spatial visualization poses new challenges. Just recently, the Institute of Education Sciences funded the ByExample partnership team led by Dr. Julie Booth (Temple University) to develop and test GeometryByExample. 

Like the other ByExample projects, GeometryByExample will address student misconceptions and common errors, and it will be designed for flexible use as a supplement to a wide-range of curricula without requiring costly professional development. 

At this time, the project is just getting underway. During the 2019-20 and 2020-21 school years, the drafted assignments will go through an iterative development process and be tested in a diverse set of classrooms in partner districts. Should you be interested in becoming involved in the development work or testing the assignments in your classrooms, please email info@serpinstitute.org.
