Find the Measure of Angle X: Teacher's Technology Investigation
Obara, Samuel
Issues in the Undergraduate Mathematics Preparation of School Teachers, v3 Apr 2020
This paper discusses strategies that two high school geometry teachers employed to solve a challenging geometry problem with the aid of dynamic geometry software (The Geometer's Sketchpad (GSP). The teachers were part of a group of teachers who participated in a summer professional institute funded by the National Science Foundation. The paper demonstrates the use of technology to construct, explore, and prove, incorporating the measurement tool in GSP. Although the two teachers showed similar approaches, they displayed interesting proof strategies.
