Abstract

Dynamic geometry software can be utilized to engage students in a way of thinking that goes beyond reaching a particular solution or response to a problem. Students can use the software to represent knowledge and thinking in multiple ways. These software programs allow students to actively investigate mathematics concepts, which allow students to have more control over their learning, as well as to discover how to explore mathematics in a far more meaningful way than with traditional paper and pencil teaching methods.
