Lost In Translation

Traditionally, high school geometry has focused on the study of two- and three-dimensional figures, postulates, measurements (NCTM, 2018). Through connecting geometry, art, cultures, and mathematics, we can create opportunities for students to experience the joy and beauty of mathematics that can help to foster and/or extend other connected concepts.

Secondary school geometry is perhaps most succinctly described as the study of shape. Many aspects of shape are studied, such as properties of and relationships among shapes, location of shapes, transformations of shapes, and reasoning about shape. Consider an important counterpoint to this shape story or perhaps chapter zero in the story—the study of vertex-edge graphs, which are geometric objects for which shape is not an essential characteristic.
