Publisher's Synopsis
The potential benefits of ICT have been identified by many countries in the world. Therefore, the essential requirement for schools and educational institutions have been made to expand teaching and learning environments and increasing the demand for education and training in most of the countries in the world. Geometry is a very significant study in the field of mathematics. It is a subset of the mathematics subject which associates with culture, history, art and design. Furthermore, geometry is commonly used to model the real-world concept which has many applications in solving practical problems. The methodical group geometrical knowledge of the ancient Greeks is one of the major successes of classical geometry. Learning geometry makes the secondary students develop some basic skills which include logical thinking abilities; spatial intuition about the universe; comparing and generalising; being careful and patient; as well as the reading and comprehension of geometrical concepts. The dynamic geometry computer software allows the users to construct geometry figures or shapes and to measure the variables of the shapes and determine the properties of them. It allows the users to; drag the figures through the screen, make geometric constructions and explain the facts about these constructions as well as test them so that the user will generalise the facts. The interactive learning environments of dynamic geometry computer software support the teaching and learning of abstract geometrical concepts in mathematics. The dynamic geometry computer software influenced students in gaining student-centered education and self-regulation. The integration of dynamic geometry computer software in learning geometry will enhance the construction knowledge in addition to the communication and dissemination of ideas in the geometry classroom.
