Tanguay, Denis; Grenier, Denise – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2010
We report on an experiment conducted with pre-service teachers in France and in Quebec. They were submitted to a classroom situation involving regular polyhedra. We expected that through the activities of defining, of exploring and experimenting via concrete constructions and manipulation, students would reflect on the link face angle--dihedral…
