Learning about Properties of 2-D Shapes from the Inside out
Forsythe, Sue; Cook, Dave
Mathematics Teaching, n226 p5-8 Jan 2012
Geometer Sketchpad is far from a new innovation, but its potential in the classroom is probably still understated. The application described here can be replicated in any classroom, and the impact on learning is likely to be significant. The experiences documented are "real", and show how a software package can enhance an area of the mathematics curriculum for the benefit of all those involved. (Contains 7 figures.)
