Kaur, Harpreet – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
This paper examines the effect of the use of dynamic geometry environments on young children's (ages 5-6, kindergarten/grade 1) thinking about angle. It provides a detailed description of introductory sessions of a geometry unit about angle, during which children worked in a whole classroom setting in which they could interact directly with…

Özçakir, Bilal; Konca, Ahmet Sami; Arikan, Nihat – International Journal of Progressive Education, 2019
Early mathematics education bases a foundation of academic success in mathematics for higher grades. Studies show that introducing mathematical contents in preschool level is a strong predictor of success in mathematics for children during their progress in other school levels. Digital technologies can support children's learning mathematical…

Kaur, Harpreet; Sinclair, Nathalie – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2012
This paper examines the effect of the use of dynamic geometry environments on children's thinking about angle. Using a driving angle model in Sketchpad, kindergarten children were able to develop an understanding of angle as "turn," that is, of angle as describing an amount of turn. Gestures and motion played an important role in their…

Furner, Joseph M.; Marinas, Carol A. – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2007
This paper discusses insights for using geometry sketching software to teach geometric concepts for kindergarten to grade 4. The authors created hands-on resources that incorporate technology in a user-friendly environment. When working with "Geometer's Sketchpad" with middle and high school students, the teacher educators noticed the…
