Research of Original Geometric Concepts: Some Episodes from the Classroom.
Winicki-Landman, Greisy
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v32 n5 p727-44 Sep-Oct 2001
Presents a learning experience based on students' mathematical research into original geometric concepts with the help of dynamic geometry software. Makes the case that mathematical definitions have an arbitrary character and that proof plays the role not only of verification, but of discovery and explanation. (Author/MM)
