The Application of Computer Technology in the Teaching of Junior High School Geometry
Katherine Dix · The Australian mathematics teacher · 1999
Describes the path along which the current geometry curriculum has come and provides insight into the direction that it may be heading. Dynamic geometry software has the potential to take both student and teacher alike out of the world of pen and paper deduction into the universe of interactive investigation. By posing, investigating and extending problem situations, an environment can be established in which students (and teachers) can recognise the power and usefulness of mathematics. Used appropriately in that environment, dynamic software becomes a valuable tool for learning.
