The complexity of the art of teaching and learning, especially in the field of mathematics, calls for a broader approach than the traditional status quote. Proof without words in geometry coupled with the dynamic and interactive GeoGebra applet have the capacity to be used in all levels of mathematics education from grade schools to higher…

This paper presents apps designed to assist students in understanding and developing proofs in geometric theorems. These technologies focus on triangle congruence, triangle similarity and properties of parallelograms. Focus group discussions and initial testing of the apps revealed that the apps offered a more engaging medium for learning proving…

Mobile devices are characterized by attractive advantages, and provide broad benefits in the university students' math teaching. Our study proposes integrating the Mobile Applications in teaching geometry. Findings of the researches showed that students face difficulties in learning geometry. The material and virtual maneuvers may assist the…

A geometrical task is presented with multiple solutions using different methods, in order to show the connection between various branches of mathematics and to highlight the importance of providing the students with an extensive 'mathematical toolbox'. Investigation of the property that appears in the task was carried out using a computerized tool.

GeoGebra is a free tool that has the potential to change both how and what is taught in mathematics. GeoGebra allows teachers and students to explore various mathematical ideas either through the full applet (https://www.geogebra.org/graphing) or by sharing applets via GeoGebra's Materials site (https://www.geogebra. org/materials/). It has many…

The project described in this article grew from the observation that many geometry students are unable to see anything in a diagram beyond a static presentation. A computerized microworld called "Motions" is described, with illustrations. (MNS)

Some examples are given of geometric exploration and problem solving in which Logo is the primary tool and turtle graphics is the mathematical environment. Students can explore and develop important patterns while building visual intuition. (MNS)

The author suggests that spreadsheet computer programs can be an effective tool in the mathematics classroom. In addition to being used to solve many real-world problems, spreadsheets can be used to promote understanding of concepts and principles from geometry, algebra, and trigonometry. (PK)

Shortcomings of current curricula for geometry in the elementary school are discussed. The use of the computer programing language Logo to develop geometric ideas is described, with supporting research. (MNS)

Many educators recommend the "Geometric Supposer" as exemplary software. This study compared the achievement of one high school class that used the software and a similar class that did not. The treatment class used the software once every 2 weeks throughout the school year. The SRA Achievement Test was used as a pretest and the Houghton-Mifflin…

Provides a software program for determining PI to the 15th place after the decimal. Explores the history of determining the value of PI from Archimedes to present computer methods. Investigates Wallis's, Liebniz's, and Buffon's methods. Written for Tandy GW-BASIC (IBM compatible) with 384K. Suggestions for Apple II's are given. (MVL)

Summarizes eight papers from the 1989 National Educational Computing Conference (NECC). The papers describe: (1) programs for teaching physical science, astronomy, and mathematics; (2) integrating telecommunications into school science; (3) use of models and simulations; and (4) the 1988 Association for the Education of Teachers in Science…
