Yeliz Çelen; Nurdan Baran – Online Submission, 2023
While in traditional mathematics teaching methods, it is possible to prove concepts while teaching geometry and to reach generalizations that require more complex definitions by using concept findings, while in today's geometry teaching, learning that activates the student's discovery process gains importance. In this context, the aim of this…
