Suggested is an approach to computer education that has as its basis a specific application, as opposed to computer technology as an end in itself. (MP)

In this paper we consider geometrical construction problems and their role in mathematical education. Owing to the main features of construction problems (accuracy in making conclusions, strict structure, rigorous language and constructivistic nature), they can be fruitfully used in teaching mathematics and computer science. We shall try to shed…
