WinCAG - Education Software for Geometry
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper deals with the use of Dynamic Geometry Software for teaching. We will focus on the software package WinCAG. This has been especially designed for teaching and learning (Descriptive) Geometry. It aids the visual understanding of essential aspects and interrelations for different phenomena. Modifying the viewpoint the drawings get into motion, which clarifies the shapes of the projected 3d objects. This is the key for spatial geometric cognition. Furthermore, a simple drawing can only illustrate a special situation of a circumstance, for instance Thales’ Theorem. The universal validity can be recognised by changing the parameters in such a manner, that all situations appear like in a film. The changes can be done in two different ways: Dragging with the mouse or running predefined modifications in a special presentation mode. The latter one is used in Aachen as add-on for teaching Descriptive Geometry. To gain a deeper insight of the capabilities of WinCAG a demo-version can be downloaded from the author’s homepage.

Combination of dynamic geometry, algebra and calculus in the software system GeoGebra
Dynamic geometry and computer algebra systems have highly influenced mathematics education. Unfortunately, these tools have been totally unconnected. GeoGebra is a new software system that integrates possibilities of both dynamic geometry and computer algebra in one tool for mathematics education. ZDM classification: R 20, U 70
متن کاملMathematical Reasoning in a Technological Environment
Dynamic geometry software has been accused of contributing to an empirical approach to school geometry. However, used appropriately it can provide students with a visually rich environment for conjecturing and proving. Year 8 students who were novices with regard to geometric proof were able to exploit the features of Cabri Geometry II to assist them in formulating and proving in the context of...
متن کاملDesigning an Immersive Environment for Geometry Education
Our work introduces immersive collaborative learning to geometry education. More specifically, we present a system that uses collaborative augmented reality as a medium for teaching, and uses 3D dynamic geometry to facilitate mathematics and geometry education. Both these aspects are novel to geometry education. We describe improvements in the user interface and visual design of such an applica...
