GeoGebra What is GeoGebra?  dynamic mathematics software  for students and teachers  dynamic geometry, algebra and calculus  open source (free of charge)

GeoGebra GeoGebra =GeometryAlgebra+

GeoGebra DGS and CAS Dynamic Geometry Software  drag mode (dynamic)  graphical representation Cabri, Cinderella, Euklid Dynageo, Geometer‘s Sketchpad, Geonext, Ruler and Compass, … Computer Algebra Systems  algebraic and numerical computations  symbolic representation Derive, Mathematica, Maple, MuPad, MathCAD, …

GeoGebra 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.“ (Duval 1999)

GeoGebra Bidirectional Combination Bidirectional change of representation symbolic ⇔ iconic (visual) Examples  coordinates ⇔ point in coordinate system  function‘s equation ⇔ graph of function  circle‘s equation ⇔ circle drawn in coordinate system

GeoGebra New Possibilities 3: GeoGebra equation of the circle ⇔ dynamic plot of the circle (drag the circle with the mouse) 1: DGS Construct a circle ⇒ equation is shown 2: CAS Enter the equation of a circle ⇒ circle is plotted

GeoGebra Didactic Principles using Wittmann (1981) Student activity orientation principle Interaction of representations principle (iconic and symbolic representations) Genetic principle (experimental learning of mathemtics)

GeoGebra Activity based learning Iconic and Symbolic representations (Bruner)

GeoGebra 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)  intuitive notation c: (x - 3)² + (y + 2)² = 25  easy-to-use interface  multilingual menus, commands, help

GeoGebra GeoGebra is Innovative Bidirectional combination of elements of  dynamic geometry software  computer algebra High technical portability  runs on Windows, Linux, Solaris, MacOS X  dynamic worksheets (html)
