A Piagetian Approach to Transformation Geometry via Microworlds.

Thompson, Patrick W.

Mathematics Teacher, v78 n6 p465-71 Sep 1985

The project described in this article grew from the observation that many geometry students are unable to see anything in a diagram beyond a static presentation. A computerized microworld called "Motions" is described, with illustrations. (MNS)
