Using Dynamic Geometry to Explore Non-Traditional Theorems
Wares, Arsalan
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v41 n3 p351-358 2010
The purpose of this article is to provide examples of "non-traditional" theorems that can be explored in a dynamic geometry environment by university and high school students. These theorems were encountered in the dynamic geometry environment. The author believes that teachers can ask their students to construct proofs for these theorems. The Appendix contains proof outlines for each theorem. (Contains 5 figures.)
