Mathematics, Origami and GeoGebra

Page history last edited by spkwan@... 12 years, 6 months ago

Abstract

I am a lecturer from the Institute of Education doing primary and secondary mathematics teacher education in Hong Kong.

In recent years I am advocating the importance of TPCK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) for mathematics teachers. Origami and GeoGebra are the two major tools (one concrete and one virtual manipulative) I used for illustrations throughout my teaching modules.

In this session I will share a couple of instances on how these tools are integrated into selected mathematical problems. It is hope that through exchanges and discussions I would have more ideas and insights on putting GeoGebra into better practice in mathematics teaching.
