  1. Visualize Algebra & Geometry Concepts with the Greatest of Ease A tool to help meet the California Mathematics Standards presentation by Bill Lombardsome graphics from http://en.wikipedia.org and /http://commons.wikimedia.org bill.lombard@gmail.com http://mrlsmath.com www.tttpress.com “Building mathematical skill on a foundation of understanding”

  2. Overview bill.lombard@gmail.com http://mrlsmath.com www.tttpress.com Introduction to GeoGebra User community Using GeoGebra in the classroom Hands-on Activities GeoGebra’s Web Export Open Source & GeoGebra Support

  3. bill.lombard@gmail.com http://mrlsmath.com www.tttpress.com Why use Technology? “Technology is essential in teaching and learning mathematics; it influences the mathematics that is taught and enhances students’ learning.”(NCTM Principles and Standards, 2000)

  4. bill.lombard@gmail.com http://mrlsmath.com www.tttpress.com Technology or No Technology? “What we have learned from all the media comparison research is that it’s not the medium, but rather the instructional methods that cause learning. When the instructional methods remain essentially the same, so does the learning, no matter how the instruction is delivered.” (Clark & Mayer, e-Learning and the Science of Instruction, 2002)

  5. What is GeoGebra? Dynamic MathematicsSoftware For Learning and Teachingin Schools Geometry, Algebra and Calculus Freely available fromwww.geogebra.org bill.lombard@gmail.com http://mrlsmath.com www.tttpress.com

  6. bill.lombard@gmail.com http://mrlsmath.com www.tttpress.com GeoGebra = Geometry + Algebra Algebra Window Geometry & Graphics Window

  7. Combination of elements of dynamic geometry software (Sketchpad, Cabri) computer algebra systems (Derive, Maple) High technical portability runs on Windows, Linux, Solaris, MacOS X dynamic worksheets (html) GeoGebra is Innovative bill.lombard@gmail.com http://mrlsmath.com www.tttpress.com

  8. bill.lombard@gmail.com http://mrlsmath.com www.tttpress.com 2001-2006: Development • Created by Markus Hohenwarter • Mar 2002: Master’s thesis in Computer Science & Mathematics Education • Nov 2002: European Academic Software Award • Mai 2005: User Forum & GeoGebraWiki • Feb 2006: PhD project in Mathematics Education funded by Austrian Academy of Sciences

  12. GeoGebra as a Pedagogical Tool Presentation Tooldynamic visualizations Modeling Tooldynamic constructions Authoring Toolinteractive online material bill.lombard@gmail.com http://mrlsmath.com www.tttpress.com

  13. Educational Principles Student Activity Modeling Multiple Representations Experimental and Guided Discovery Learning bill.lombard@gmail.com http://mrlsmath.com www.tttpress.com

  14. Examples of Using GeoGebra Visualizingstudents can “see” abstract concepts Representationsstudents can make connections Experimentsstudents can discover mathematics bill.lombard@gmail.com http://mrlsmath.com www.tttpress.com

  15. bill.lombard@gmail.com http://mrlsmath.com www.tttpress.com Creating Teaching Materials • Static materials • Static pictures • Construction protocol • Allows you to reconstruct steps of a construction • Dynamic materials • Construction files (ggb) • Dynamic worksheets (html)

  16. bill.lombard@gmail.com http://mrlsmath.com www.tttpress.com Ways to use GeoGebra • Tool for studentsfor doing constructions from scratch • Tool for teachers • Visualisationdynamic demonstrations • Creating Teaching Materialsthat foster student activity

  17. bill.lombard@gmail.com http://mrlsmath.com www.tttpress.com What does GeoGebra offer? • points, vectors, segments, polygons, lines, all conic sections and functions in x • dynamic constructions (mouse) • coordinates, equations, vectors, numbers and commands (keyboard) • easy-to-use interface • multilingual menus, commands, help

  18. bill.lombard@gmail.com http://mrlsmath.com www.tttpress.com Using Dynamic Worksheets • Student opens html file with a web browser • Requirements on student‘s computer: • Web browser e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari • Java 1.4.2 or later free download from www.java.com • Note: GeoGebra is NOT needed to use worksheet

  19. bill.lombard@gmail.com http://mrlsmath.com www.tttpress.com Combined Representations There is no true understanding in mathematics for students who do not incorporate into their cognitive architecture the various registers of semiotic representations used to do mathematics. (RaymondDuval 1999)

  20. Age 6-10: Adding Integers bill.lombard@gmail.com http://mrlsmath.com www.tttpress.com
