Okumus, Samet; Bozkurt, Gulay – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2022
This case study investigates prospective middle school mathematics teachers' use of the Angle tool in GeoGebra, focusing on reflex angles in a geometric construction task. They constructed a parallelogram with individual heights for any two consecutive sides. We analyzed their screencasts to identify the ways in which they used reflex angles in…
