Soucie, Tanja; Radovic, Nikol; Svedrec, Renata; Kokic, Ivana – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2011
Studying geometry is an integral component of learning mathematics because it allows students to analyse and interpret the world they live in as well as equip them with tools they can apply in other areas of mathematics. Therefore, students need to develop an understanding of geometric concepts as well as gaining adequate geometry related skills.…
