Geometry learning: The role of tasks, working models, and dynamic geometry software
| Resumo: | We present several learning experiences that illustrate how three aspects of the geometric competence, constructing and analyzing properties of figures, identifying patterns and investigating and geometric problem solving, were developed by pupils that participated in the implementation of an innovative geometry teaching unit in grade 8. The topics addressed were dealing with properties of two dimensional figures, Pythagoras theorem, loci, translations and similarity of triangles. The development of the geometric competence was clearly supported by the dynamic geometry environment but unfolded in different ways, depending on the way how pupils reacted to the different types of tasks. |
