The Teaching of Geography Using Dynamic Geometry Software
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of dynamic geometry software (DGS) in all kinds of mathematical games has become a widespread phenomenon. Rich features and availability of free DGS, such as GeoGebra, have caused a growing interest for developing teaching materials for subjects other than matematics. We present the teaching materials that we developed in GeoGebra for the subject of geography at elementary and middle school level. An interactive component that we developed, aimed specifically at applications in computer geography, is also discussed.

Implications of Using Dynamic Geometry Technology 7 Implications of Using Dynamic Geometry Technology for Teaching and Learning
In this talk I would like to explore the implications of using Dynamic Geometry Technology for teaching and learning geometry at different levels of education. Through example explorations and problems using the Geometer's Sketchpad I hope to provoke questions concerning how children might learn geometry with such a tool, and the implications for teaching geometry with such a tool. I shall draw...
متن کاملNumerical optimization of hydrofoil geometry for a Darrieus hydraulic turbine using dynamic mesh and central composite design
In this study, a Darrieus hydraulic turbine for power generation applications is chosen and the response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design (CCD) is applied to obtain the optimized design for its hydrofoil geometry to increase the torque coefficient. For this aim, all turbine performance factors, except hydrofoil geometry, were considered to be constant and the turbine ...

Limits of Educational Soft "GeoGebra" in a Critical Constructive Review
Mathematical educational soft explore, investigating in a dynamical way, some algebraically, geometrically problems, the expected results being used to involve a lot of mathematical results. One such software soft is GeoGebra. The software is free and multi-platform dynamic mathematics software for learning and teaching, awards in Europe and the USA. This paper describes some critical but const...
متن کاملUsing the Intergeo Platform for Teaching and Research
The Intergeo project started in October 2007 and will be funded until September 2010. Its main concern is the propagation of Interactive or Dynamic Geometry Software throughout Europe. Interactive Geometry is a way to improve mathematics education by using computers and Dynamic Geometry Software (DGS) and there are many advantages in comparison to “classical” geometry without DGS [Kortenkamp et...
